airbnb, bookings.com and other booking sites help.

[Chavez Allen]

Good day,I have 2 properties I wanted to list for short term rental on airbnb and other bookings websites. However, I am new to the business and the first time I listed on airbnb my account was blocked for no apparent reason. Please provide some help with this as I am a beginner. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Newbie

Just don't use TripAdvisor!  I use AirBnb, VRBO, and HomeAway, and I'm in the process of building my own website.  I used TripAdvisor for awhile and got a handful of bookings through them, but their calendar has a tendency NOT to sync with the others, and I had two double-bookings in one week, for which they charged me $150 each when I had to cancel the bookings.  It wasn't even MY fault!  Thankfully, I caught the bookings before any guests checked in at the same time, but I still had the displeasure of canceling two bookings and getting charged for them.  Good riddance to TripAdvisor!
