Creating a new listing from an existing one
Hello to All
I am a new in this community.
I have an issue with Airbnb
8 year ago we created a listing which by mistake apparently has been passed as a business account instead of a private account.
Although I have explained Airbnb is unable to understand or change this, which resulted into blocking our calendar . We have only a summer house which we occasionally rent during the summer.
Airbnb suggested to open a new account and change gmail account and phone number which seems to to me to be very odd.
If I use the facility to open a duplicate account (to save inputting all data again ) will this also be regarded as a business account or can I declare it as private ??

I wouldn't bother trying to duplicate the account...it doesn't work very well on Airbnb and many parts of the listing still need to be updated manually. I suggest you start a new listing from scratch and just "unlist" the previous one. The reason Airbnb is saying to use different phone number & email is because you can't have the same phone number on 2 different profiles.
Do you have a business account profile currently with Airbnb? If so, I would setup an individual profile with a different phone number and email and create a new listing using that.

Hi @Dinos6 😊,
Thank you so much for asking this question here!
Did @Joan2709 help you make a decision about what to do with your listing?
Do you need any more help?
Warm regards 🌻,
