Is this normal for a team?

This team charges 20% per commission, even if they don't refer it to you.
Lets say I make my own freelancing thread, if I get any orders through it they say they need to get 20% of that payment?

So you crying because they charge %20 and the team your work for charges %5? Lol believe it or not , not everyone is the same if you don't like it don't join

The most I took from drawnparadise was 10% even with that they were reimbursed with software etc... & a custom website to display their portfolio.

Nope, ask Ember. He meant even private commissions too.

its not money, the percent goes after the number

visual example: 5%
visual incorrect example: %5

In my opinion private commissions should never be charged. That's taking what you worked for to get that sale. Pretty crazy ._.
