Just send a watermark piece of the work until the customer pays you. Donāt send hate on this guy, you donāt know if he scams people, just wait until he get flagged if your worried about it. Secondly, heā's doing these for 50R$, which is not a lot for a logo.
That would be a cool idea but I donāt think you should do it as the commissioner might want to see the full logo before they pay. I would just add a watermark and once they have paid remove the watermark and send it to them.
Watermarks can be easily photoshopped out.
They might think Iām scamming because I donāt put many examples on my dev forums post.

What you could do is pixelate half of the logo so it is unusable but they can still see roughly what it looks like before they have paid and then once they have paid you could send the unpixelated version.
What if they are actually trying to scam me but once they see they canāt use the logo, theyāll end up blocking me and not paying for the logo?

That happens a lot, it is unfortunate however you canāt really do much about that.
Payment first solves that part but not the part where people who arenāt actually trying to scam you not believe you.
My friend suggested 50% down payment, but thatās kind of the same as payment first.

Just because he might not scam some people doesnāt mean he might not scam others.
If you donāt want to order from THIS type of a concern, you donāt have to - if heās able to find other commissioners that will take the āriskā and get their products while the person holds a devforum portfolio I donāt see the problem. He is in power [as the service] and I appreciate the steps he is taking. Just because you are worried doesnāt mean he has to change it for you, as heās able to get many others that do trust him because he wants to keep his own time and effort making logos safe knowing he will get fairly paid on his own standards.
Also, my point stands, if he scams anybody his credibility will get flagged instantly and people wonāt order from him.
I know that and I never said I wanted him to. Iām just trying to help him.
From a commisionerās POV, I can tell why you think Iām scamming.
Itās because of my payment first terms of service.
And to put more salt on the wound, I only have 3 logo examples on this dev forums post. not on twitter tho.
Iām sorry but a lot of these ācritiquesā towards him are SO condescending and doesnāt need to happen, donāt nitpick and be appreciative, just WAIT until he gets other orders done.

what if i delete this post and make a new one with a new commissions sheet?
Yes I would do that since people turned a payment concern into a patronizing mess and now the wall is littered
Also do you do refunds for people who are not satisfied with your logo? [if they donāt like the final product, and donāt have it yet] I would recommend doing that since 100% payment first is a requirement
If people arenāt satisfied with the logo, iād cry- I mean I will ask them what is the problem and will try my best to fix it. iāve never really had people who arenāt satisfied with their logos so much they wanted a refund so i dont know
and yes now people will actually think im a scammer and now i have lost many commission opportunities 
Your prices are insanely cheap, itās not a gamble to order from you. After you get more commissions shown on your portfolio, I would recommend showing more examples as people said during the times you get things done with your current commissioners 
I have made 5 commissions so far, and I have 4 to make. I mainly show my commissions on twitter so you people should check it out 
@BuzzyBlox
I would also put Twitter on part of your portfolio then so people can look there to see more examples. I think you have so much potential with a lot of commissioners already, so once again, good luck!
If there are already 7 people who are respecting your terms of service in your portfolio, you are the service and you are in power and itās working for you; do not be discouraged by the small amount of people who found it necessary to air the concern of āscammingā when many people behind the chat are already ordering from you.
