One thing that jumps out at me is there was never any mention of an extra $10 for processing payment, only the cost of $100. The +$10 for covering fee should, in my opinion, be eaten from the $100 owed, considering lack of prior agreement.
It's never a good idea to send or post the full image before payment, and use watermarks, like writing "unpaid" on it so the person can't just use it and not need to pay. By posting it on DA, unmarked, they no longer have any reason to try funding you for something you've done. In future, I recommend trying to get paid before moving past an approved sketch, if not taking the money up front. Though, being unable to get a guaranteed refund may scare potential clients away from commissioning you.
Thank you for taking time in replying, and your advice.
I Totally agree, and why i had my ref updated the beginning of this year, so it won't happen again. Though ill have to update the part about Paypal, too. Its true some clients were put off by the idea of using Western Union, but I didn't had a choice in these parts of the world where i live. So I'm just glad I've finally got a working Paypal now.
The image in the email was a low res - quality cam shot to provide proof, and never received the full image. but even that didn't spark or inspire the urge to pay to get the full better quality ress. I only posted the image 6 or so months later on DA having a feeling the client may never return anyways. Now its just for profile promotional use. And thanks, I'll use your advice on titled "Unpaid" watermarks in the future. 🙂

thanks for your time and advice. 🙂 I did, but still held back just incase the commissioner does return. But times up now. I also considered on maybe selling prints on DA trying to make up my loss that way, too.
