This is a test listing: Only approved users can view and book it.

I added a new listing a week ago. However I see this message on the top: This is a test listing: Only approved users can view and book it.

I'm wondering how to get it to active status so someone can book it.

@Yamini6 

You have no active listing at the moment. Did you publish the listing ?

[Yamini6]

Yes. It shows listed but I get this message on the top and nobody else can view it.

IMO you need to contact Airbnb, hope you will have better support then this person:

I see you have 2 reviews as a host, so you published a listing before.

Is this the same listing you want to (re)publish ?

Hello @John6301 , did you get this figured out? I have the same thing. Do I need to create a new listing? 

[John6301]

nope nothing really yet but airbnb did say it was a  bug on my listing WTF.  I have tried making the listing twice, Also tried making a new hosting account and still didn't work.  Its been 3 weeks and still not much help thus far

I am having the same issue as well. Airbnb support thinks it is a 3rd party software issue. I have unsynced everything and still having this issue.

I'm having this issue as well as SO frustrated. I've spoken at length to 4 different customer support people, all of whom promise to get back to me, two of whom have "elevated" the issue to a manager, and NO results so far.  I've lost 3 weeks of bookings.  Anyone else moving to VRBO?  I don't want to, but I don't know what other option I have.  I have another property running great on Airbnb, and move that one as well so I'm not dealing with two platforms.

Was anyone able to fix it ? I am having the same issue and even tried making a new listing and its doing the same thing. My other running properties are fine its just with creating this new one and airbnb support is pretty much no help.
