    If I offer a service like making art for TF2 keys, and somebody ends up never paying me and I have proof, is that reportable?
    I've been waiting on a guy to pay me since this summer and he's since unadded me and made their profile private.

    No it's not. Please read SteamRep's investigative policy here.

    Ahh. The guy's a trader and was likely aware of that, kind of sucks.

    I had been recommending fellow artists use a contract for this reason for claims like this.
    What alternative recourse would you recommend?

    You can leave a -trust and report them on backpack.tf, and probably outpost too. Should be enough to stop anyone else from getting scammed assuming they perform a rudimentary background check.

    ... Or just report them to Valve using the built in "Report Violation" button on their profile.

    Doing that would be doing so without a valid way to confirm what was happening - why else do you think we don't accept these types of reports.
    Then I guess you would have users giving that so called -trust for whatever they felt was wrong regardless of valid proof said event happened.
