PayPal isn't reliable when it comes to claims, especially in this type of situation.

One question. Did you and "Baby Blue" sign a contract, and were both parties given a hard copy? Without a signed contract, or hard evidence, he can eaily state that he sent you whatever work was assigned to him, and you could have "misplaced" it.

Whatever happens, however, I hope you're able to get it straightened out. The internet is a risky business.

Yep, i agree. I myself have been scammed once on other forum. I trusted him because of his "good" reputation on the forum and because he has been on the forum for quite a while. Yet, he ran away with my money, and i was a little too late placing a chargeback on paypal. Let it be a lesson, don't trust anyone so easily on the net, even if he seems very decent and honest.

unfortunately there was no hard contract but if he says he sent the work to me ill just get paypal to ask him to send a copy to them.
