PayPal payments delayed!

@Kittyp, Thanks for posting Ellen’s article!

@Ellen_Killoran, Great work…Thank you so much!

Thanks everyone for your input! Sorry I couldn’t get all the interviews in there, no time!

Is anyone here still waiting for payment??

Great job @Ellen_Killoran !

It’s great to see such a positive result from all our efforts, and I hope this makes them pull their socks up and re-think their strategy!! Thanks again to Ellen for her amazing article!!

Karen… are you in the US? So you are saying when they release it, it’s then another 2-3 days? Which is what it is when you send Paypal to your bank as well.

@konacoconutz To use my most recent payout: 9/13 guest check-in, 9/15 notice of payout from airbnb says the funds have been released and to expect the funds in my bank account by 9/18, “giving consideration for weekends and holidays”, and today, 9/16, the funds were deposited in my bank account. So I’m saying I get the payout notice two days after check-in (vs it really should be 24 hours per their policy), and the notice says to expect the funds in 2-3 days, BUT more likely than NOT the deposit comes in sooner than what the airbnb email tells me it will. I’m in the US in Virginia.

@karen… sounds very close to what you would get if they just had Paypal working correctly (which it does, let’s face it, most of the time.)

To use your example… if it were the paypal way, you would get the funds 9/14, transfer to your bank account and it would be credited within three days, although I have had it credit more quickly.

I didn’t see a TOS agreement request when I logged in to PP, so think I will just keep PP as the default unless there is a change in the TOS.

Thanks for your answer, it really helps in trying to determine what method is best…

So. curious question: when you receive funds from Airbnb in PayPal you don’t have to pay any service charges? I have only made payments via PayPal, but I had friend I would pay for web help and they would deduct fees from the funds I would send her…

@karen, no PP service fees apply, as of yet…

Hi, I am wondering if you ever got this resolved. I am a super host and have had a few guests come and go and I have not gotten paid yet. The Airbnb policy says that host can expect payment within 48 hours I think after check-in? My guests have come and gone and I still have not gotten paid. I have verified that my information is correct with Airbnb so it’s not an error issue. I’m concerned because I need the money and I rented out my space in good faith expecting prompt payment pursuant to the policies and still have not gotten it. I chatted with an Airbnb agent and they said they could not give a reason for the delay, but that it will not be coming for 5 more days. That is ludicrous. That is outrageous. Is this fixed or is this still a problem from September of this year?
