When I finally had enough of being bold face lied to for the better part of two months, and with the deadline approaching, I had to file a dispute to force his hand. Which resulted in me getting my signed license as repeatedly requested. You know what happened? That idiot called it 'scamming' and made a bunch of drama about it. Something anyone else in same situation would have done.
So while I agree with your O.P. on protecting yourself, just as I did in my circumstance. You also have to consider the flip side of the GFY mob if you opt to do that chargeback. Frankly, I do not care. I asked for something, was lied to a dozen times, and forced the hand resulting in me getting what was promised me.
But it's something you need to consider if you plan to play that way. Good luck.

At the end of the day its your money. Ive had the same thing happen to me on a mainstream board, but within a few days everyone forgets.
If its only a few dollars I'll let it slide, but anything after that their bitching and crying is not going to pay my bills
Of course when you take money back from someone they are going to cause a scene. Ive been on both sides of the fence where I had some scamming asshat try to dispute a charge with me for media claiming it was an unauthorized charge. this is why I have contracts with clients and after I proved it was authorized, he apologized and said he forgot... then got pissed because I wouldn't do business with him anymore
