Verification of multiple listings

[Jean-Francois-GemStay0]

Are any other hosts unhappy about the requirement to verify their listings in person? We have about 40 listings currently and it is a massive waste of time as most of them have had guests come and go for months. If anyone else is dissatisfied please reply so we can let them know.

@Jean-Francois-GemStay0 Verification took us about 5 minutes. Its a small price to pay for giving confidence to guests that the listings are real. I am sure if you ask your guests to allow you to pop in for 5 mins they will generally be accommodating.

Hello Mike-And-JaneO, I am reaching out in the hope that you may be able to help.   I Have been trying for weeks to work with the AIRBNB support team to help me verify my properties.   While understanding their reasons for the verifications, it seems Airbnb have not communicated with their support teams the process as i get different conflicting answers from each of the supports.  I am desperate for help.   I have uploaded videos 3 times in total and they have been rejected (some my fault).   My problem now is trying to get a code for each of the properties.   How did you get your code.   The first one they sent by email, but  now they are saying I have to remove all of my listings (that also means all of the bookings will be cancelled) wait 2 weeks load again and they will post a code to the properties letterbox  within 2 weeks and then i have to reload the listings again.   All of the bookings in the meantime have been cancelled.   Can you help??   Many thanks Regards Liz

@Elizabeth3563 I totally get your frustration and the Airbnb solution is just mad. Perhaps @Rebecca could ask Airbnb to re-look at your case and come up with a more sensible solution. All we had to do was take pictures similar to those we used in the listing. I hadn't quite understood this so failed the first time with the external photo which could have required us to climb the bell tower of the local church which is technically not allowed. The original photos were taken when I was up their cleaning the gutters out (which is allowed after a risk assessment).

Sorry I can't help further other than to make sure your phone allows location sharing which might be important in the verification.
