    It is up to you and your customer to resolve it. In my cases most of the time I will contact my client and resolve it. If some one want to realy screw you then it is not easy for you to win in the PayPal case. It is from my experience. There is always bad side when you do this kind of online business.

    Ask the client to put 'digital product' or 'digital delivery' etc etc when making payment...This will help a lot...

    If possible, log that the product was provided to your customer at the time of purchase. If you send them a product keep after they purchase it be sure you have a copy of that email. Also, as dragun said make sure you clearly state that you're selling a digital product, and what your customer can expect to receive by purchasing it (ie: a product key that will remove the trial restriction).

    Regardless of what you do, digital products are much easier to charge back than physical products. In the even that someone threatens to issue a charge back, my recommendation is to do everything you can to avoid it. Just be careful because if you issue a refund and they do a charge back anyway it could be messy to resolve. Just keep as much documentation on the transaction as possible to protect yourself.

    Just use the Buy Now button option to sell your script if they are ready-made and Request for Money/Email Invoice if they are custom scripts. These are tools available on Paypal for business purposes. This will remove any misunderstanding as to what the money is for.

    I have had a problem with paypal. I gave everything they needed (even faxed a document) but then it almost a year now. Nothing was resolved. Too bad service.
