Paypal problem -advice please

I teach privately from home. Until today, I've had a paypal link on my website where students and parents can purchase lessons. In 15 years, I've not had an issue.
After giving a block of ten lessons, a student's parent has now issued a "significantly not as described" complaint because they messed up the time of one of their lessons so are claiming they didn't get their moneys worth. All the money for all of the lessons has been taken back by paypal and held with a view to a refund. I can't prove the kid took the lessons and they can't prove that she didn't, but I am very anxious because I now find out that paypal usually don't bother to investigate these things and side with the buyer.

Any advice much appreciated…hindsight… not so much ;)
