Few days ago I made a Custom theme for a user here, He contacted me via Skype and some user from MyBB recommend me to him. So we talked about the theme and agreed on a price, then I designed a Mock-up for him which he liked and paid 15% of the total budget as advance payment, there is no problem with the advance payment.
Then after 7 days I gave him the demo which he liked and send me the rest of the payment. Later he also asked me to install the theme, some plug-ins and to set up his forum. This service is performed by someone from YuvaPix. For that service he also send a payment.
Now there is a problem with the last two payments, this morning I got an email from Paypal saying that "You have received a payment that we believe may not have been authorised by
the PayPal account holder.".
Currently those two payments are on hold. I have contacted the client he told me that he noticed some unknown transaction in his account, so he called Paypal and so maybe Paypal made all the payments disputed. But He got no idea how those two Payments to YuvaPix got disputed. He also told me that he is going to solve this matter and once his new card arrives, he is going to Pay me the money. So far he is cooperating well with me.
So from my side what I can do to solve this matter and what rules should I follow from next time so that I can have the upper hand in this disputed cases? Things I do right now:
# I always send invoices to the client and only take payment against it.
# I mostly use Skype to talk to the client not email.
This is the first Paypal dispute case I faced so need some help and suggestions.
