Paid invoice in advance for services never rendered, how to recoup?

I received a paypal invoice from a musician I booked for an event via the Gigsalad booking platform. Once paid he disappeared before the event. I contacted Gigsalad first. They investigated and found out he had no-showed for several previous events. However, because he invoiced me through paypal, they couldnt offer a refund. Are there any options with Paypal?

Hi @KristiH3193

 

Welcome to the Community! 

 

When buyers pay with PayPal, PayPal Buyer Protection covers them in case there is a problem. If you don't receive an item/service or the purchase is significantly not as described, we will help buyers get a full refund.

 

You can learn how to open a dispute with a seller here.

 

Hopefully, this helps!
