I fear a scammer will try to get a refund after i've given them art, what do I do in that situation?
I have been dealing with this commissioner and they are the kind of person who doesn't see a product provider as a real person and openly has admitted to targeting people in need in the past to scam them. I do digital art as the majority of my little income, so I took the commissions not knowing that he was brazen about the issue, and now that I have given him the art, I fear he might try to have paypal refund the money.
Is there any way to prevent this?
I have heard the horror stories about how paypal refuses to protect merchants and the scammers always get away with the theft, which is why I wanted to leave paypal in the first place, I think I absolutely will if this happens.

Hello @MarimoPunk,
Welcome! I can definitely understand want to protect your sales. It's important to know what products and services PayPal offers protection on. Here are a few resources you may find useful:
What is the PayPal Seller Protection Policy and what items aren’t covered?
How do I prove that I've sent an item to the buyer?
What is Chargeback Protection?
I hope that helps!
