Missing Payouts, Has this happened to anybody else?

[Susan723]

Any other hosts experiencing missing payments from Airbnb? It first happened to me earlier this year. It was just one payment that time and only a few hundred dollars. After 3 days and receiving no notice of payout I called and spent hours on the email and phone with airbnb. They finally acknowledged their error and issued the payment. For my hours of trouble they sent me a coffee mug. This time the missing payouts total nearly $2k. I have already spent much time trying to get it corrected. So far I am just getting the "we are checking into it" email message. The original rep I spoke with acknowledged to me that there was a mistake made. So now I just get to sit and wait for them to hopefully correct their error again. I wonder if I will get another coffee mug. Frankly I would rather just timely get my payouts and without having to waste hours of my time to get them. Anyway just wondering if this is happening to other hosts and also a heads up to other hosts to be sure to keep track of your payouts.

Hello Susan,

Did it get resolved?  I have the same issue - one missing payout and the Customer Service team have no visibility to the process other than to say it has been released.

Do I just wait for some one to contact me?

Were u able to resolve the issue? Its nearing 2 weeks. Called my bank no payments received whatsoever. 

asked airbnb for proof of payment but is seems so hard for them do so which makes it even fishier.

hope u can help as a fellow host. Thank you.

Hi Girls, have you both checked your 'Transaction History' and established the status of these missing payments?

View your transaction history via this link.....

https://www.airbnb.ca/users/transaction_history

You can see immediately the account that a payment was released to...if indeed a payment was released! If it was not released to a wrong account the status of the payment will show as 'Pending' which means the payment is being held in trust for you until an acceptable Payout preference has been established.

I have never had a hosting payout delayed or 'misplaced'....every payout has arrived on time and for the correct amount.

If this is a situation where your account is being compromised, reset your password and your account details via either of these links......

I hope you can sort this out girls....hosting is hard enough as it is without loosing your payments!!

Cheers.....Rob

Hey Rob just wanted to let you know Airbnb has been hacked and starting July one the payments have been erased they don't show up as pending, future, or past. If you did not receive the customary email stating the funds have been transferred..... it'll be awhile to get your payment I'm out $3,000 for a 5-day booking and you will go rounds and rounds. Best thing to do is contact Michael Finney with 7 On Your Side he's a local San Francisco Bay Area News expose a team. (where Airbnb is headquarters are). I myself and south of San Francisco in San Jose

Hi Charles-and-Sue0

The same happened to me since April this year 2019. Nothing resolved yet even with too many phone calls and emails. no one is helping. hope I can reach the headquarter to understand what is going on. I am keeping documents of everything. Any suggestions or email and contacts of a person who is responsible to solve this issue. The ammount is almost 3k.

Hi.  Yes, this has happened to me.  I had two guests who checked in July 2nd.  It is now July 9th, and there has been no payout, and it also is not in my "upcoming payout" history.  They acknoweldged that there was some sort of but with the payout history and claimed my funds were released on the date the guests checked in, but it's been 5 business days.  Where the heck is my money?  These people paid for this reservation MONTHS ago.  Seriously, this is ridiculous.  Does anyone have a phone number (US) that I can reach them at?  I've been waiting for someone to come on "chat" for over 15minutes now.  I'm delisting today.

@Patricia1267 I know your post was from awhile back, but for future reference, if you Google "contact Airbnb support," it will bring you up to a link in which you should be make a call to them. They used to have really good support IMO, prior to this whole pandemic crisis. Now it's not so great, especially email support, which can now take weeks from which to get a reply. (Yes, we actually just went through this--almost a month to get a reply to our issue, which was also not resolved in the end.)

That being said, we haven't called them this year, and so we couldn't say for sure whether their phone support is lousy now or not. My guess is that if you do need to call them now, then you'll probably end up on hold for awhile. However, if you have payout problems again in the future, then it might be worth a try.

I havent received my payout in 2 bookings. It's upsetting

[Genoveva2]

I am having the exact same thing happen now. I have been hosting for almost 2 years. Never a “lost” payment. My reservation currently shows the guest I am hosting on the calendar but on upcoming and completes payouts...nothing. It doesn’t show the payment anywhere and it’s as if the reservation was never made yet it’s in my calendar and I am currently hosting the guests with no pay. 

[Zerimar0]

I’m going through the same scenario you just described. Did they ever resolved this for you?

[Bruce581]

I’m now having the same problem I can’t get hold of anyone 2 Payments missing January and March - Ive got another booking  but may cancel it as Air BNB haven’t paid for the previous 2 payments which has put me in a vulnerable position with a number of service providers.

Does anyone know the recourse on this matter - Air BNB have been utterly awful up to now despite numerous e-mails and now a phone call to chase up on matters.

is there any other platforms I can complain to on their conduct ?

[Ella54]

@Bruce581 send them immediately a public message via Twitter or Facebook or both. You'll get quicker attention to your problem.

Hi @Bruce581, 

I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem with two payouts. I checked in with the team and will send you a DM shortly with more information on what I found out. 🙂
