How many on this site are tired of getting screwed by Homeaway?
I have had enough. It used to be a good deal. Pay their annual fee. get advertising. Self manage your property. manage your calendar. Then the service fees started. They went from a few hundred per year on my one unit to a couple thousand. Their company revenues had to sky rocket. Then they stopped paying you upon the deposit and made us wait till the guest arrived. They also force you to use their payment system which is high. And now I am not sure I will get paid. I am at least two weeks past due on a late May guest. And of course, no one to talk to. Indefinite hold to talk to anyone. I am at a loss. I cant renew with them if its stays like this. They have lost it.

@Arlan Potter I'll take this over AirBNB screwing me out of five figures of revenue by unilaterally deciding to refund my guests in full.
