I have purchased a theme for $59USD which claims that its fast, the code is to high standards, easily modified, and has great support. However, the problems began soon after my purchase, firstly with some broken code that was causing timeout issues on my webhost. I brang this up with support, 3 days later was told to simply change my hosting because other people have been using it just fine. NO, I do not want potentially crappy code to take down my site at the worst possible time. Then came other irritations like having overly complicated systems that should just be left to plugins to handle. Even the most simple modifications require developer or support (which is incredibly slow). The website, takes over 10 seconds to load even though I was promised fast speeds up there with the best themes. And the final straw, when I tried to warn others about a shady developer with poorly written code and a bunch of other issues, my review was promptly deleted. This is deception and themeforest/envato needs to be sued. Because people look at reviews to determine whether something is worth buying or not. I have not yet requested a refund, but I will be filing a chargeback with paypal if I don't get every cent back because I was not delivered what was promised.

Not only do sellers blatantly lie about their experiences, the price of services has gone astronomical with the addition of fees on the buyers, AND sellers of the platform. The exorbitant fees are NOT equal to the value this platform provides, and sure as hell does not help maintain their platform and "administration" fees. There are much bigger companies that deal directly with financial transactions (such as PayPal) who don't charge fees on top of fees to run their platform, so it is a pure money grab.

I used to use the platform years ago, but it has slowly become worthless over time. Presumably because sellers got tired of the fees and moved on, and now people who over-promise do so because they can't get work otherwise. What a way to tank a great business.
