It wasnt a city it was a raw copy of pacman,but Thanks much :)
It is against the copyright agreement to sell maps. You can charge people for the time you spend on them, but not on the maps themselves.]
Also, you have a long way to go before selling your work. Enter some competitions, make a few maps, build up a reputation around here.
Selling maps for money? Man why didnt [I]we[/I] think of that???????
I'll be blunt, your mapping skills aren't high enough yet for such maps to be sold.
I mean, you used [B]HL2[/B] textures in a [B]TF2[/B] map. This same map is also [B]fullbright[/B]. That alone indicates a disregard for aesthetic insight, for one.
Wait at least a year, keep practicing in Hammer, and [B]then[/B] see if you should sell your maps (though even then, selling [I]maps themselves[/I] is ridiculous).

That's completely different. The people you're referring to ASK for a map and offer payment. Someone makes the map and the user pays the mapper. They're not paying for the map (in theory), they're asking for compensation for their time making it.
There's a difference making a map for someone because they said they'd make it worth your while, and just making maps and demanding payment from anyone who wants them.
I think.
...Gonna have to consult the copyright agreement.
What?, really?, for money?, who would got on stupid idea like this?
EDIT: also the map looks terrible for the newbie.

But no one would [I]want[/I] to pay a mapper of your current skill level.
Plus, as TurtleeyFP said, you [B]don't[/B] sell maps themselves, you are paid by whoever [I]requests[/I] a map to [B]compensate for the time spent mapping[/B].

No...you have seen skilled mappers make people maps for a fee to reimbursed their time. They have not been selling the maps themselves.
If you want to make some money out of mapping, you need to increase your skill level, as at the moment it is very poor. Hang around, release images in pimpage, work on some free maps.
Alternatively, if you need some money, mow some lawns, get a job.
Heck, I've been a mapper for like three years and I still don't consider my work to be worth even a single cent.
You need to get [B]way[/B] better before you can map for money.

Probably should've started a new thread for this, Marco.

You need A LOT more mapping experience before you can even consider to be compensated for your time mapping, your previous work just seems to be the standard blocky fullbright maps we see all the time, try watching some tutorials from the following users.
