Royalty: an agreed portion of the income from a work paid to its author, composer, etc., usually a percentage of the retail price of each copy sold.

Basically, when you post an asset you have rights to, and it sells, the royalty is the portion of payment you receive from TurboSquid, normally about 50%.

TurboSquid is free to join. The other portion of the sale goes to Turbosquid as they do the marketing, maintenance, accounting and customer service.

Also, read the End User License Agreement (below) for more legal information/rights (since you're already a member you should read it anyway).  There is also a good deal of helpful information under Support with answers to frequently asked questions, and basic steps for buying/selling here.

The royalty depends on what country youre in ,your maximum amount  is always 50% of sales.

This depends on tax witholding which is on here somewhere.

A tax witholding of 0%  (which is me in Uk) means you get youre full 50% from sales, its an agreement reached between countries.

Anything more than 0%  on tax witholding will mean you get less than youre 50%,

 the higher it is the less youll get.

What about submitting your Social Security Number to Squid'!?!  is it safe?  Have they had a break-in and had SSN's stolen before?  it is really the only thing that makes me nervous about submitting my work.

.....Also,  is there a size limit to the models that you can upload?  I heard somewhere that there was a 8meg limit. I have read quite a bit about becoming a reseller, but I haven't seen that question come up yet.

Thanks,

Robert
