Unavailable - Your experience has been approved, but it's not live yet

[Carlos2791]

Hello there community,

I have recently applied to become an Experience Host and seems that I've got approved. So far so good.

My listing though appear as "Unavailable - Your experience has been approved, but it's not live yet", is this a matter of waiting to get live? or Is there any extra procedures?

This is after they requested I update my bio to get approved and so I did therefore I got approved. 

Anyone with a response would be really appreciated! 

Thank you!

Hi 

My zoom verification is done, i can also put stuff on the calander, but its stays that the experience is not live!
How long do you think it will take for the experience to go live and where will i receive notifications for the same? 

Also my airbnb is on one Gmail account where i get emails and for zoom i made another. so incase i get bookings where will i get them and how do i confirm?

Ok I had the same issue/question (in-person experience saying 'approved but it's not live yet.' with the tag unavailable on the web, and listed in the app as unpublished and with added availability booking dates).

Reading about the same here many times without any conclusive answer I contacted customer support. They only suggested it might be subject to heightened review in which case you will be contacted by Evident to provide additional info first (according to the help articles this is for technically-specific experiences so I assume scuba diving and the like that probably require specific licenses). My experience shouldn't fall in that category.

Solution: nothing. It went live after approx. 72h.

So I would suggest to wait for at least 72h before you inquire, as that might somehow be the amount of time it takes to go through the pipeline after approval. They could definitely work on the wording of the status though, as it's currently unclear whether anything is still required on the host's part to get it published after approval other than adding availability.

Hope that helps.

Hello All,

I had the same issue/question (in-person experience saying 'approved but it's not live yet.' While listed in the app as unpublished even with my added availability booking dates.

I reached out to Customer Service and it was live in a matter of hours.

same problem here. I called with help center and she said sometimes a higher department disapprove the experience even after it has been approved by the other departments..... anyway, she advised me to re-submit the whole thing again.....

Has anyone got a fix to this? I am still experiencing this.. Thank you!

Same thing with mine

Same with me. Airbnb really needs to figure out how to streamline the approval of their experiences. I had to wait over 12 weeks and even then, still faced completely unnecessary and insurmountable barriers to getting my experience live. It really should not be this complicated. 

My experience is now approved but listed as "unavailable" (???). It would be really helpful if airbnb communicated CLEARLY what happens when an experience is approved so that hosts like us are not left even more confused and frustrated. 

Do better Airbnb. You are a 76B dollar company--figure out your queuing management and communication.
