Help. I can't see my first listing.

Answered!

Help. I can't see my first listing.

Listed my room for the first time today but I can't find my listing anywhere.

 

The green button is on in the status section on the Dashboard. I've searched by logging out and using different servers pretending to be a customer and my listing does not show up even if I zoom in on the map. My availability is available for tomorrow onwards. I don't understand and its driving me mad!

Your listing is not yet in the search system, as it takes max 24 hours to get in there.

In the mean time your booking form will also not funktion (no price calculation)

Wait until this link produces a result:

I'm having the same problem - it's making me very anxious as I can't see how my listing is going to look (the preview is not good) and have no confirmation that it will appear - the green listed light is on. I have checked with more than one browser, I have made sure the search criteria can't exclude it -

 

Just searched under UK post code-

https://www.airbnb.co.uk/s/homes?refinement_paths%5B%5D=%2Fhomes&adults=1&children=0&checkin=&checko...

No 30a Woods Ave listed

 

The hosting tools provide no concrete feedback - so I'm straight into asking the community to ask for advice

Your listing is not in te search system at this moment.

Please read the answer at Cybele above.

Wait until this link produces a result:

Why is the preview not good ? Seems OK to me:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33923935

(or replace ". com" by your local Airbnb website)

Hi Emil,

 

thank you so much for replying so quickly. I'm just receiving emails from AirBnB that my bank transfer verification is in progress and this will take a couple  of days. Would this delay the listing?

 

Could you explain the siginificance of the link you've kindly provided? I will of course monitor it as you suggest.

 

With respect to the preview - it has cropped a lot of the image alround, if you could see the photo I uploaded, you could see that it is much much better. It's an architect designed space and the preview dosn't convey this - this is also why I keen to see the listing, so I can see what guests will see  🙂

 

Many Thanks and

Best Regards

Danni

@Danni23 

I think payout information should not delay the viewing of the listing, as payout is setup in your account and not in the listing. The linkprovidd  is the direct link to your listing(s) in the search system, it contains your hostnumber.  It can also be found on your homepage ( https://www.airbnb.com/users/110936282/listings) as the link under "go to map". If no result, listing is not in the search system, so then a "normal search" will never bring up the listing (and if it stays this way after waiting for 24 hours Airbnb has to look at it.)

If you logout and view your listing (see link mentioned before), you see exactly what a guest i seeing. I noticed it has only two photos, maybe add some more.

 

Please note your listing has a special offer set (20% extra discount for first 3  bookings). But the booking form is not functioning at this moment (produces errror), probably also due to listing not fully integrated in the system (yet).

 

 

Best regards,

Emiel
