Hmm... reading all of this, you gotta think about what's fair to Renderosity....
BUT............ a bit BUT....
All these big stores charge way too much to load contents in their stores. 50%???? I mean, come on!! I thought this first from the beginning when I found out how much you'll be getting from YOUR products, "GAH, 50% is an awful deep cut, it should be at the most 25%. We're doing all the creating, not them. And we're doing all the customer support, not them!".
To this day I still think that. It's totally unfair! But then submit them to a little store (which charge between 25 & 40%) and they don't sell much 'cause the little stores don't get hit much. Make your own website and it isn't gonna get hit much either by customers. So you really don't have much of choice. Sell at big stores and sell many, but be prepared to get paid only 50% of your price. That's really pretty much the reason I haven't been loading anymore products. I don't get the pay I deserve.
And yes, a forced sales isn't what I support either, we as a vendor should have a choice to put our stuff on sale or not. If they want to put stuff on sale, then they should get the cut, not us, we're already getting a big cut.
