From last to first....yes I did get paid Lawrie, and payouts are now coming through as they always have before this 'glitch', although I am aware of at least one host who is still waiting.
Far from loading us up with 'loot' the whole epsisode has been completely stonewalled by the company. There has not been any form of comunique from the company to affected hosts apart from one small email about half way through saying payouts had been interrupted but were now starting to be processed.
But no explanation of what it was, no time-frame on it's conclusion and no subsequent statement of apology...as far as the company are concerned, it never happened.
Now the unfortunate aspect to that approach as far as the company is concerned, many of us here were frightened Lawrie, we did not know what was happened and we were all doing what customer support were doing....... we were making wild guesses!
Because of this episode I have activated my listing on Homeaway/Stayz and over the past 2 weeks have got 4 reservations and one pending through that platform.
If Airbnb had made some attempt to keep us informed I would not have done that! I was perfectly happy with the run I was getting with Airbnb. All they needed was a short daily bulletin board, we would have all been happy with that....but it never happened and, at least from my situation, Airbnb have shot themselves in the foot, I have currently 15 booked nights that Airbnb have lost to another platform that I never would have dreamed about accepting a month ago!!
A Bélo towel hey, God lucky you. In 2016 I got this parcel in the mail and inside was a carry bag with just about every bit of propotional stuff that Airbnb have and they consistently keep adding stuff. I have no idea why many hosts are not getting something, I thought we all got it as a gesture of goodwill on the part of the company!
Cheers.....Rob
