Buyer canceled payment after receiving shipment

Someone ordered a drawing from me. This person paid, but after 2 months she decided to cancel the payment because "someone ordered it without her permission using her PayPal account".

What should I do to get my money back? I did the commission she ordered, she told me it's fine . Then she deactivated her DeviantArt account. All I have is the drawing and her opinion on it. 

 

Should I give her back her money even if I did the thing that she ordered? After 2 months?! 

 

Also a few people have the same problem with this person, I can prove it.

Sounds like a typical scam - if the buyer wins the claim - PayPal will refund the money. 

 

Buyers have 60 days to file a dispute requesting their funds back - you mentioned two months after the purchase - it could be just be a coincidence of events but, from experience, perhaps not.   Some "not so honest individuals" have studied PayPal's policies and have figured out how to use those well intended policies to their advantage.

sender has 180 days,not 60 days to file a Paypal dispute of unauthorised transaction.

to qualify for Paypal unauthorised transaction dispute,the seller must ship to the address in the payment notice,not necessarily delivered,just proof of shipping is good enough/

it must also qualify for seller protection.

look at the transaction and see if you meet both requirements.

( I AM afraid customs order does not qualify,if there is any indication this is customs order.

I would not mention such to PAypal.

seller cannot start a claim,only buyer can,and he can only have one claim either EBay or Paypal or Credit card issuer.

is your payment pending due to Ebay withholding payment until tracking shows delivered?

how does buyer cancel a payment?
