Duplicate Listing

[Cathy253]

Are you permitted to list your rental more than once?

[Ana1136]

@Cathy253 no, and why would you list it more than once?

[Lisa723]

@Cathy253 yes... Airbnb specifically allows this:

@Ana1136 you would want to do this if you offer various configurations of rooms/amenities at the same location. I have a total of 7 listings for 3 properties.

[Ana1136]

@Lisa723 but she asks about the same rental more than once as I understood, not for various configurations but just one. I too have different configurations for the same property, but not the same multiple times. 

[Lisa723]

@Ana1136 I agree that it wouldn't make much sense to do that, but Airbnb does not disallow it.

[Ana1136]

@Lisa723 I specifically know that they disallow it because I have made two of the same by mistake and they deleted the second one. 

[Lisa723]

@Ana1136 that's interesting. That seems more or less impossible to enforce; who's to determine the difference between "the same" and "different configurations"? Are these "the same"?

[Ana1136]

@Lisa723 all the info and photos were the same, I don't know the process in which they determine it I just know they deleted it. 

[Lisa723]

@Ana1136 can't find anything in Airbnb's terms of service disallowing it.

Hello, i'm wondering if your two listing are two seprate listings or is one a duplicate of the other with some details changed?

[Cathy253]

I have noticed when doing doing a search for a place as a guest, I see the same property listed more than once. And even in the community where my listing exists, I see the same space listed. So I was curious as to what the purpose was. I am not interested in listing my place more than once. But other hosts do.

Hi Lisa,
