airbnb payment to hosts

I had a check-in 7 days ago with no payment from air b&b yet. The 1st issue I have, is that I had to call Air B&B to report the issue. That's unsettling. The customer service rep said that it's been escalated and that someone would get back to me asap. There was no follow-up within 1 business day so I called again and was given a reference number, with no way to contact the department that was conducting the research. What's there to research when they acknowledge I wasn't paid and there was no issue with the guests credit card. 

 

Does anyone have suggested resolutions other than waiting on AIR B&B to resolve the issue ? I've been reading posts going back years where this has been occurring so there's obviously some underlying issue that's not getting resolved and from what I can tell, there are no guarantees that owners will be paid when there are issues such as this. I could see them making excuses for a very long time. When a guest books a property well in advance of check-in, and uses a credit card for payment, is their credit card  billed immediately for some portion of the amount and if so, when is the balance collected from Air B&B ?

 

Thanks

You raise very good questions , Bill and I will be following this thread in order to learn more.

 

Of course you know the extant of hosts unhappiness with AirBnB's Customer Service.

 

Some links I've saved below illustrate this.

After being paid promptly for 7 years as a super host, I stopped getting payments at the end of December. My PayPal account is set up as the default account (I just checked, again.) I have sent messages, and talked to support several times. I have been given incorrect information, and have spent hours communicating first with this support person and then that one. I get the same message over and over with an occasional  variant. They are always pleasant, but always unhelpful.

Hi @Bill55

 

I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues with your payments since December. I'm checking in with the team for you and will let you know what I can find out. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it very soon!
