Thanks all, again, for the help and support here. Thanks for that info @Mikki0 ! It turns out that my restriction isn't the timing, that it's possibly ratings (more on that below), and is possibly account verification.
I had another long (hour+) session with Airbnb customer service today. It's incredibly difficult to get any actual information from the CSRs, they seem to go in circles w/o actually saying anything. After much discussion, I was able to get the following info about the "possible" two areas they said need correcting. The CSR was adamant that she wasn't sure if these were the reasons, but it was the only ones that she felt could apply. She shared that she can't see exactly why my account was put on hold.
1. Reviews - they did look at a couple of reviews again, and noted that the Hosts did leave 5 stars in certain areas but not in others. When I asked for details about these certain areas, the CSR said the blank areas were Accuracy, Check-In, Value, and the overall star fields on the two reviews I had them look into.
Do hosts typically rate Accuracy, Check-in, and Value of guests?
She then said that the ratings actually weren't an issue, but couldn't send me any actual hard data (e.g. an email, screenshot, etc.) to validate it.
2. Identify verification - although on my end it appears my identity is verified, they let me know that my name didn't match my payment information. I updated that, however the CSR then said I had to upload my license in order to get "full verification".
I'd prefer not to have to upload my license into Airbnb, but she made it sound as if that was the only option to get my account "unlocked". She kept using what sounded like "airlock", but I'm assuming she meant "unlock", unless airlock is a term used for restricted accounts.
She let me know she's escalating it (again) to the "Safety Team", and said that only they can provide more information - but she wouldn't actually provide me with any way to contact or speak to them. She informed me that they'll contact me. Apparently I'm yet again in a waiting game.
Is there anyone I can actually talk to who can help me walk through this and get some clear answers vs. me waiting for another random message via Airbnb?
