VRBO charges 10% commission for direct booking outside of their platform

[Mary Pastoral]

Hi, 

We had to call VRBO for a bill that they are charging us and this is how I found out that VRBO charges 10% commission for any booking that was made outside their platform. They said that they have access to external direct booking website and they charge higher commission rates if guests book direct vs VRBO platform. Is this your experience as well? Thank you.
