How to make a safe payment to an artist for a job.

Hello, 

 

I am a musician which is contact with a 3D video maker for a videoclip. He is requesting half of the money in advance and then the rest when the job is done. My question is: Can the payment being on hold until I receive the videoclip has been sent? I mean, I do not want to pay something in advance without any guarantee. If so, how can I do it?

 

Thanks a lot to the community and I hope to get an answer soon!

 

Ce.

Hi,


It can be, but not always. If the seller’s account is reliable, PayPal will let the payment through.

 

Nevertheless, can file dispute(s) within 180 days from date of payment. Ask the seller to send a PayPal invoice with “allow partial payments” enabled.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
