Could you please add a payment method other than PayPal? For example, Payoneer. Since I can’t receive payments via PayPal, I’m unable to withdraw my money.

I agree! While technically I can use PayPal, as a Canadian maker there’s a lot of hoops to jump through to convert that to CAD. PayPal charges a conversion rate which is, you guessed it, not straight market rate but market rate less their cut (4-5%). With MakerWorld fees, that adds up to ~15%. I realize there are ways around it but it involves opening a special bank account which I’d rather not do.
I decided it wasn’t worth the headache and pulled my commercial licensing out of Makerworld. I’m going to relaunch it on Ko-fi because the cut they take is smaller and, more importantly, they accept Stripe which will deposit straight into my Canadian chequing account. I tested it by setting up a paid model and it was easy as pie.

Yes, if I wanted, I could maybe open a bank account abroad and receive it via PayPal and then Payoneer. But it’s not worth the risk. The commissions are an extra burden as well.
