PayPal contacts me, I show them our chain of emails, and to their credit, they actually took my side. PayPal goes after his card holder, and of course they side with him, so now my PayPal is $1500 in the red because of some fucking asshole who actually owes me $1500.
Fuck freelancing.
Nothing wrong with freelancing. Just something wrong with the way you're doing it. Screen your clients.
> 6 months ago I was hired to build a guy a website for his wifes chain of dentists offices.
You either did the job or you didn't. If you did the job, the work is good, and they're using your work ... well, then you can nail them pretty good. Especially since they have physical assets.
PayPal is the largest turd on the Internet. They could rebrand and relaunch a thousand times and I still wouldn't put my money in their trust. If I were their CEO I would spend less time on my brand, and more time getting my operations sorted.
Services such as Paypal are by their nature vulnerable to fraud, so the caution they sometimes show towards releasing money could be attributed to this reasonable doubt.
Which just seems weird. But knowing how EBay operates, they must have data proving otherwise.
For a moment, I thought they would be talking about their customer support, but no... ;)
You cannot cause harm to someone because they stole from you by not paying you. That is not proper, legal recourse.
I have been in the situation where I decided the most prudent action was to "shake the dust off [my] feet" and learn to screen engagements better.
Well, who's the idiot? The idiot or the one who took him on as a client?
Again, screen. Don't blame the client. Blame yourself for taking him on as a client and then do a better job of screening. This will come with experience.
