Not being able to accept payouts as a co-host

[Jimmy424]

I'm co-hosting for a host who has different properties, we decided on a percentage that I was going to get per booking. The host sent me a request to confirm the payout but whenever I click on the notification, or even through the email, I just get redirected to the listing, and the host sees that the payout confirmation is still pending.
Since the Airbnb representative only messages me once in 24 hours and that too when I am sleeping, we aren't able to have a conversation, can anyone here just help me.

@Jimmy424 it really depends what you are doing to earn your co host monies because according to the new changes Jimmy you should be receiving money and also have access to the website. Whoever is doing the website for you will need to have put you in as a full access host I believe or part access but is definitely in their control not Airbnb.If it is someone besides the owner then you and the owner could risk fraud .Make sure that you know the dashboard very well...

The owner (host) of the listings himself has sent me the request to accept the payout on Airbnb and yes I am set as the co-host for his listings, I have no idea why do I get redirected back to the listing whenever I click on the notification where it asks me to confirm the payout.

If the host has set you up as a cohost and set the automatic payment you receive it should happen automatically.  @Jimmy424 

This is not something we can help you with on this community I'm afraid . It will be host that needs to resolve with Airbnb. 

I can see you're one of a number of cohosts for 15 listings most of which are new . The ones that aren't have very low ratings. 

however you don't seem to have any experience as a host so perhaps familiarise yourself with the Airbnb Help website which has a useful section around how cohosting works .
