Hi @Ivone11 I would never think you were scamming! Far from it!
Is this happening on the check out page?
Sometimes, when Airbnb's payment processing partners are experiencing technical issues (downtime), this can result in unsuccessful completion of payments in the system. If you are experiencing either a nonstop spinning wheel and/or error message, there are a few workaround options to try.
You can either try to complete the payment in a few hours, or try using a different payment method. If you try to use a different payment method, you may want to add it to your account first, for auto-populating into checkout page. For now, these are the best options for resolving this matter.
If you are concerned with any timeframe constraints or losing the dates on this listing, I would advise reaching out to the host via the "Contact Host" link on the listing page to message them about the issue. You can let the host know what's going on, that it's a confirmed system issue, and you are hoping to confirm the booking in a few hours.
The host can then save the dates for you, or send a Special Offer/Pre-Approval to ensure the dates are being offered to only you (for completion of booking within 24 hours).
Please let me know if these suggestions work for you.
