Due to current situations of Envato Market’s Earning, Envato must have to take some actions.
- Very first you have to cut your fees. (Envato charging a lot of fees, and not getting enough benefits to Codecanyon & Themeforest Authors)
- Add multiple payment gateways (Lots of buyers have issue regarding Payment Method, Adda multiple Local Payment gateways for different countries)
- Check Duplicate Products & Remove them (There are lots of Authors who just copied other Author’s products, do minor alteration & selling them on Cheap Price)
- Do more marketing campaign for Codecanyon & Themeforest users too, don’t focus on Element Only.
There might be more suggestions too…

While suggestions are always a valuable contribution those changes all come with significant business, legal and resource considerations and envato have said that for now at least the priority is going to be Elements

I agree, but I would like to mention something important.
- Authors should be allowed to provide updates only to customers who have active support.
- Payout methods should be optimized to enhance effectiveness and provide optionality. For instance, implementing payout options via Wise tags, as opposed to traditional methods such as Swift or bank transfers, would be beneficial. Additionally, similar capabilities offered by platforms like Revolut and Payoneer, which allow payouts through email or registered phone numbers, should be considered.
- Authors can view a list of sold items, but they do not have access to information about the license key or purchase code associated with these items.

For sure, lower fees and more local payment gateways can greatly help improve the conditions. Addressing duplicates and marketing CodeCanyon and ThemeForest more would also be beneficial for the community. Let’s hope Envato takes this into account!

They are all valid ideas but it’s important to keep in mind that altering payment options is a significant business decisions and cost far beyond just adding new one.
Likewise duplicates - with tens of thousands of items available the time and resource required to do that properly in not feasible, not to mention to a degree, subjective.
It’s always good to make suggestions but just worth considering what’s involved.
If there were straight forward ways to for Envato to times how things work and improve options for authors and themselves then most likely there is a behind the scenes reason that they have not done it.

Let’s start by addressing these shameful marketing practices and the exploitation of our remaining customers, so that we can at least earn something worthwhile. I don’t recall anything useful being done for authors in the past 10 years. Perhaps there are deep-seated reasons for not doing anything beneficial for the people who filled this market with their creativity and helped its employees have jobs and grow, only to later become witnesses to its decline.
