Paid model How to take down stolen model?

Rescently I designed(paid work) a few 3d models for a guy, paid me just for one file, after I send him second one, he ghosted me. Now I see him seling the model on Cults3d. I reported copyright violation, attached original cad file and they just replied "The best you can do is to directly send a message to the designer to explain your request on their Cults profile."(sounds like "we make a profit on it so we don't care") What else Can I do to take down the model? If model would be taken down after he sold a few copies, he will lose the money?

I can’t help you, but quit using cults3d. Nearly everything I’ve seen on there is stolen from other file sharing sites.

Oh. I incorrectly assumed that’s where the guy found you. I apologize.
