You might be able to win your paypal dispute if there are emails from him indicating to you that he had made that payment amount. Upload all the emails relating to that payment from him. You could include one that shows he's making threats against you around the time he filed the dispute. I had a client's wife dispute a payment through paypal because she didn't recognize the charge. I uploaded an email from him indicating he had sent me the paypal payment and they dismissed the dispute without input from him. (he said he'd just send me another payment if they reversed it) I would offer to accept him cancelling the paypal dispute and take the $3500 (or even a lesser amount) and move on. In the future don't keep working for clients if they aren't paying the full amount of your invoices and invoice them frequently so they don't owe you too much at one time. If they are getting slow to pay you can get slow to provide services. Sometimes companies need time to get their cash flow caught up so that's understandable. But try to minimize the time/money you extend during those times. Good luck. (Move On)
