Anyway, lesson learned. But just in case it happens again, are there any ways to protect yourself from chargebacks?
The best way is to keep an eye on the "Paypal disputes" that are opened by the customer and if you don't respond on time, they process it further. You need to maintain your communication with your payment processor as well as the client in order to reduce the no. of chargebacks.
