I’ve noticed a few times that I’ll see my listing with no instant book symbol.
UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED: Thank you. I had checked ‘government ID required’ to IB. Since I wasn’t signed in, and air didn’t know who I was, they wouldn’t let me IB.
THANKS EVERYONE WHO TOOK TIME TO LOOK!
I was just looking for my listing to send it as a link and hadn’t signed on. I couldn’t find my listing - and it turns out I had a filter to look for only instant book properties.
So I turned that filter off, and there was my listing. When I pulled it up it said ‘request to book’, not instant book.
Now here’s the funny thing -when I signed-on, it came up as instant book. When I signed-off, instant book went off.
Other properties were coming up as instant book when I was signed off. What happens when YOU look at my listing??
So weird!! I’d call airbnb about this but don’t have much confidence that the front-line person will be able to help me! I think they are going to look and say ‘yes, you are on instant book’.
