Guest request accepted then no payment

[Liz633]

Anyone else frustrated with guests requesting reservation, host accepting and then guest doesn't pay and you hear nothing else from them.

I accepted a reservation request for the next day for 4 nights, said they could check in early at the time they wanted, but then no payment, nothing.

The calendar is technically blocked out for those days so am losing at least one night and possibly more as the dates are held for 24 hrs.

In a circumstance when the booking request is imminent I think payment should be requested within a shorter time.
