Duplicated Listing Isues

I recently took over my property management from a renowned company due to their horrible management; after re-creating the listing, it was suspended as a duplicate listing. I cannot get Airbnb to understand that we do not work with this management company anymore, and after almost ten days, I cannot get my listing back up and running. Do you guys have any suggestions? It has been extremely frustrating, and I've been losing bookings because of this disruption.

Hello @Rebecca 

 

Yes ... All my listings were reinstated. I am not sure what happened; all I know is that one of the listings showed as duplicated, but no other listing was active other than mine. We worked with Vacasa in the past, and this is the only possible explanation for it, which is that they never deactivated the listing, and that's why it showed as duplicated. I think Airbnb needs to make a better effort to improve communication with the hosts; it took me three weeks and about 30 calls, and I never received a proper explanation. At least I wanted to know what happened and if I did anything wrong on my end that got me to this situation; with every call, I received a non-sense AI message, each with different information. It was unbelievable. The bottom line is that it was solved; I guess someone in the line paid close attention, and I'm grateful. I felt I was trapped in an AI loop.

 

Thank you for following up; it is nice to talk to actual human beings 🙂

I am stuck in the same loop 😭 and they are wearing me down. I am a new owner and support won’t even tell me what the previous violations were. I event sent the property deed and property registry to prove exchange in ownership. I also sent closing docs. From what it seems, no one will ever be able to airbnb this property due to its location and previous complaints. I am almost at 30 calls and I spoke to two supervisors who can’t help at all. I  convinced the “specialty” department is just an AI application based on my generic responses and appeal denials.
