Many of us rely on the steady income from express services to make a living, so really in my case such an abrupt and inconsiderate closure affects me greatly and hits me very hard, especially as I have two young children and a family to continue to support, plus bills that will keep coming in.
With thousands of jobs done on my part (1733+) and 100% buyer satisfaction, I have put a lot of effort and patience into building and maintaining that reputation over the years, to now see it simply disappear as if it were worthless.
This dedication on my part came hand in hand with a long-term commitment and trust with Envato Studio, so honestly receiving this news with just a “heartfelt thank you” really hurts and leaves me feeling helpless. Also, with such short notice it doesn’t give room to look for a “lifeline”.
Envato Studio, could you consider keeping the Express Services? Or at least extend them for this year so that we can continue to earn income from these services. The fact that express services are directly integrated with sales platforms like ThemeForest really makes a difference and adds significant value that other platforms do not have.
I hope Envato will please take into account the effort and dedication of us express service providers who have invested and trusted all these years in Envato Studio, we are people/families who are literally running out of work.
Kind regards,
Maxi
