Question 3

How can I request a score?

Accepted Answer

You can search for a score and download it immediately if it's already been requested. If it hasn't been requested, you can set a budget for your request and musicians will bid on it. Once you choose and pay for an offer, the musician will start working on your request and deliver it by the agreed-upon time.

Question 4

What payments does PaidTabs accept?

Accepted Answer

PaidTabs accepts wallet balance, debit/credit cards, bank accounts, Klarna, and cryptocurrency.

Question 5

What is your refund policy for inaccurate scores?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can request a refund if the score is inaccurate. Before doing so, please request revisions from the musician. If the score is still inaccurate, send us your order ID and explain the issue. Our dispute assessment team will compare the score against its listing description and issue a refund via coupon code for immediate use, or a cash refund to your original payment method upon request, if the score does not match. Musicians who consistently provide faulty scores will be flagged and receive a warning.

Question 6

What happens if a score I purchased doesn't match the description?

Accepted Answer

If a buyer reports that a score does not match its description, our dispute assessment team compares the delivered score against the listing description. This process occurs only in response to buyer-initiated complaints and evaluates accuracy to the advertised description.

Question 7

What happens if a musician doesn't deliver a score?

Accepted Answer

If a musician misses the deadline to deliver a score, you can request a full refund via your account. The musician will receive a negative mark on their account, which, if they accrue too many, will prevent them from sending further offers.

Question 8

What is a quality score?

Accepted Answer

A musician’s quality score is the average score based on their recent feedback combined with the test score they achieved when they registered. If a musician misses a deadline or a customer requests a refund, this can also impact the score. Customers will see a musician’s score whenever they bid on the customer’s request, e.g.: “Quality Score: 4.7 / 5 stars”.

Question 9

Why is the quality score important?

Accepted Answer

Based on musicians' quality score, you can know what to expect from the musician. For instance, if a musician has a quality score of 4.7/5 stars you can expect the score to be 97% accurate. You can improve that by requesting a revision. You can calculate that with a simple math: 4.7 * 20 = 94%.

Question 10

How can I collect my refund?

Accepted Answer

By default, refunds are issued via coupon codes for immediate use on PaidTabs, helping you avoid payment processing fees. If you prefer, you may request a cash refund to your original payment method, which typically takes 5-7 business days.
