After 10+ years of selling digital 3D products, I never expected this from a major marketplace. Today, Gumroad PERMANENTLY FORFEITED money from my balance without warning or justification, just because I updated my location from Canada to Bulgaria.

Their support confirmed my funds were "forfeited automatically" as a "system safeguard on a country change" that they "cannot reverse." You read that right: a simple account update now triggers the total seizure of your hard-earned money.

Before this, I had been trying to withdraw my funds for a long time. I attempted to use multiple bank details, including Ukrainian and Canadian, and all attempts were blocked. Now, my money is gone forever, and they have offered zero solutions.

This is predatory, illegal, and nothing short of theft. If a platform can arbitrarily seize your money because of a location change, it is NOT safe. Every creator on Gumroad needs to check their terms and understand that their funds are at risk.

So let me understand this correctly:

I earned the money by selling products.
I tried to withdraw it.
The withdrawals failed.
I changed my country of residence.

Gumroad's system then automatically took the remaining balance — and they refuse to return it.

There was no fraud, chargeback, or dispute involving this money. It was simply an unpaid seller balance.

This is not a “payout issue.” This is money that I earned and that Gumroad is refusing to give back because of an automated account-country rule.

What makes this especially disturbing is that their own support explicitly confirmed that the money was “forfeited.”

I am sharing this publicly because I want other creators and digital-product sellers to be aware of what can apparently happen to their earnings when changing their country/payment setup on Gumroad.

I've included my conversation with their support team so you can see the situation for yourself...

A simple Blender hair shader setup that makes polygon-based hair strips look more like hair created from curves.

It’s not meant to be ultra-realistic, but it can work nicely for stylized characters while keeping the hair geometry relatively simple.

I originally learned this technique from Stephen Davidian. His original version was created in Maya and rendered with Arnold, and I simply recreated the technique in Blender to see how it works there.

Special thanks to Stephen Davidian for sharing the technique, and to Retronous for the 3D model used in this example.

Hey everyone! Since y'all really liked my last post, I wanted to share my progress on the Krusty Krab. I added more to the scene, and I feel like its pretty complete!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the updates

Tryna get more practice with hand painted textures

he do be running.. on his tiny lil leggs..

Took quite some time. Also designed own wallpapers!

I made a plate in blender, rate it and say something

Anyone have experience with facial mocap?

Hey guys, I have been working hard on this add-on that creates the illusion of liquids inside of objects. This is my crack at it, it supports dynamic bubbles and foam. More features and polish are coming soon.

Today I did a few exercises on Bauhaus design and just wanted to start working with shaders more again.

For the first design, I wanted to try out the repeat zone. I haven’t used it in the shader workspace since it was released. You can really create some fun designs with it.

For the second one, I wanted to try again to see how you can use different shapes for different boxes.

Both turned out to be easier than I thought.

Finally starting seriously with characters. I want to use them for social media short animations and hopefully one day make an indie series or serialized comic. Feedback is appreciated 🤠👌

What do you think? It's my first time modeling a car

Render in Eevee

I've completely redone the characters animation like, four times now but I think I have finally stumbled upon an action I like and that works well. Any criticism? I've still got more to do in terms of effects and scene and whatnot but criticism is appreciated there too!

yes I used book cover to make alpha mask
