Scammer alert

I'm not sure if it's "allowed" or would help in a case like this, but I've previously had experiences where people that were providing me a service would make me pay via PayPal but have myself include a message along the lines of "for services already rendered/performed"

Good idea but in this instance he paid for the service before I rendered it.

Yep, that's the point - prior to even you rendering the service you have them send payment with that message. Of course, it likely will have some people wondering if it is a scam from their end, since it does seem to be a strange request haha.
