Ok, let me just say, I'm glad that you took my advice, and decided to make a beware post after you've told me your situation.
Again, as I mentioned before, it sounds like he's giving you the run around. I would feel a little differently if he actually sent you a WIP of your commission, and is just REALLY slow on his part (Usually a sit down polite talk with an artist and asking why something is taking so long motivates them to finish your piece).
A year, I'm not sure if Paypal will dispute transactions that happened over a year ago (I think 45 days is the max), so you could probably take the claim elsewhere to a small court that deals with issues like this.
