For me this is not an option. Customizing jobs are one of the good side effects on the envato marketplaces. Actually for me the only reason why I sell templates for just a few pennies. Of course I only customize my own templates, because I do not want to steal any business from anyone else.
So am I the only one who thinks that the business idea presented here is based on work of other authors and takes assignments away from those to where they belong?
I’m bringing this post up to find out what’s Envato’s official position on this issue.

Well here’s a few things to keep in mind.
- The license that all projects are sold under here on VH completely allows this practice. So long as anyone doing this buys a new licence of each project file for each customization job they get. And they make their clients aware that they’re charging for the customization of the project. The client owns the license to the project, not the person performing the customizing.
- If a person was on here, advertising their services in your item’s comments, I’d understand the thought that they may be taking your work from you. But if they’re advertising their services on their own, outside of VH and then buying a license of one of your projects for a customization job, it very well may be a customization job that would have never been offered to you to begin with. Heck, you probably would have never even gotten the sale for the job as there’s a good chance the client may not be aware of VH, or picked your file if they were aware. So a good way to look at this is a possibility for increased sales on your items, rather than looking at it like it’s lost work.
You can showcase my work! It would be nice if you send me a link through my email box on my profile, when the project is done. This is a great initiative and I like the idea, since its a great way of promoting videohive items. Many of the authors promote their items through their sites, but it would be even better if other external people promote the business.
