I hope someone can help me out here. I migrated my models from SKETCHFAB to FAB back in late November. I only earned a few bucks for November, but I made over $100 in December and now my balance is $270+. When do I actually get a payment?
And now I don’t understand this TRADER / NON-TRADER update request. I just horse around and make models in my spare time, I don’t have a business. Am I going to get paid if I leave my status as NON-TRADER? And if I do ever get paid, will my first payment be my full balance or will it just be the first $100 earned? I am so lost!
Idk why we have to declare again, maybe it’s bug. But I went with non-trader, I don’t sell “large volume of content”, I just sell some content, it’s a vague description, there should be tier list, with numbers.
If you made 200+ over some of months I don’t think that is under “large volume of content”.
You’re right, it is a vague description, and even if I tried to change the status to TRADER, I think you have to have some kind of business ID number or something. I guess I will leave my status as NON-TRADER and hope for the best.
Earning from December 2024 will be paid in the next coming days and earning from this January will be paid on end of February.
Regarding Trader vs Non-Trader, here some example provided by JetBrains:
Examples
If you are a natural person acting outside your business (not an entrepreneur) and you offer plugins on JetBrains Marketplace for free, you may be qualified as a non-trader.
If you are a natural person (software developer) working for a company, but you develop plugins in your free time as a hobby and offer them for free and provide means for users to support your development on a voluntary basis (voluntary financial contribution), you may be qualified as a non-trader.
If you are a for-profit legal entity, regardless of whether you are a private or publicly held entity, you would be directly qualified as a trader.
If you are a natural person acting for professional purposes (relating to your trade, business, craft, or profession), you are a trader, and it is immaterial whether you offer some or all of your plugins for free.
If you create a plugin in cooperation with other individuals, you make the declaration as an individual vendor, i.e. the person uploading the plugin is the one making the declaration.

If my memory serve well, you should have an option to choose btw Business ID and Individual(your national id).
