    I don't think that you can sue him and I also would assume that sueing him isn't worth it for a $20 job, I just suggest that the next time someone gives you a job to request 50% of the payment up front and if they have a problem with that then do not accept the project.

    i am facing problem with lookup.

    I am using dynamic lookup and it is not returning the
    newlookuprowid as 1 or 2, it is always returning 0. I
    checked it and there are rows againest the lookup
    table.

    You can submit those articles in article directories with your links in them. once they are up and indexed, he will not benefit from them. The content on his site will be just another copy or you can just try telling him the same. Also do leave a negative iTrader for his transaction if he doesn't pay. Good Luck.

    Always take half payment and then give him half the articles. Once he finishes the payment, send him the remainder of the articles.

    Too risky online.

    A lot of people actually ask for the full payment up front before sending the articles. I work as a journalist with established oflline publishing companies and they pay within a couple of months. Online I would ask for the whole payment.

    Have reported him to DP moderators? Maybe they can ban him or something?

    share his name here on dp so others can be warned. as far as sueing him it's not worth it as it will cost much more for the suit. report him to dp mods

    Also, resell the articles, or use them for your own niche site or ranking purposes.
