In my case we don’t have those issues here that your speaking about that a lot of US cities has. This is about Years of just arguing with them I feel. When renters act horrible and we call them on it. Or have to remove them. Or they didn’t pay us and I have to track down a payment they claim was sent to PayPal that was never sent. And they just keep saying it was sent to PayPal until I add them to a 3 way call and they confirm they never received. The list goes on and on. And it would for anyone when you have this many years and this many people. I guess there just tired of me. It’s a shame because 90% of my experiences with everyone associated with this company were genuinely good. All I’m saying is it can happen to any host. For any argument with a tenant. They can tell Airbnb. We saw ants, mice, bugs. And you can be where I am now in Airbnb limbo. And I’m not making this up. I have several friends who were delisted for this above. The guests never failed to say there were absolute slobs. Eating in bed even. 11 days past our last check in from them and still not paid. wonderfully handled.
I’ve actually heard of people simply re-listing and moving forward that way. Hope you’ve got some satisfaction since this debacle.
I tried to let a friend list some. They have either the address or photos in there system. By the time my friend listed the 4th apartment he was blocked.
Have you tried altering the address a bit if you can e.g. 91 become 91a
How long would it last before someone reported address as different to Airbnb. Or they couldn’t find it and called Airbnb. Then what chance would I have to be able to come back. I think the guy has a hard on for me. My photos are a dead give away. I’m sure he would search and see our deck and know I’m back on. I got to ride this out and hope they have a change of heart. Not to mention taxes and answering emails it has to be me on my account. Or nothing. But thank you kristy. I tried to sneak on three times. I give up.
Agree altering your address slightly is only a recipe for further disaster.
It’s really strange that AirBnB keeps delisting certain addresses, while the “supposed problem” they have is with you and not with the properties themselves.
I would let your friend, who’s (supposed) listings got delisted, call AirBnB and ask why they delisted. Have him tell them his company took over the management since their apparently were problems with the former management. Let him act a bit naive and a bit offended: “I have nothing to do with the former management company, I got asked by the property owners to manage their property. Why are you refusing me. I want to offer a great service, much better than before, that will make AirBnB proud.”
Of course you will also have to change things like the bankaccount. There shouldn’t be anything left that AirBnB can trace back to you.
Perfect. Thank you. Done and done. I have given up control. And just deal with other aspects of the company.
Does this mean you have you been able to get back into business?
Re-Instated April 2018. No email no anything. Just one day I took a shot and tried to log in and a lock screen didn’t come up.
Welcome back!
Boy, they really told you with that 2 year time out! I’d love to know what they think they accomplished by banning you. Will you limit how many bookings you do through Air? I wouldn’t want many eggs in that proverbial basket!
No kidding Allison_H, two year time out seems kind of extreme.
Sorry you had to go through all that and welcome back! Have you been renting in other ways these 2 years or what have you been doing?
My guess is that they did not refund cash but put that towards staying at another Airbnb listing.
Too late for Barry as he and his listings were removed from Airbnb altogether.
I been re-instated April 2018. 14 month suspension because some renter decided to call in lies. Jan 2019 we had our best month in history. So I guess “it’s never to late “
They refunded them all on there card. I know because some re-booked directly and told me.
Well wonders never cease when it comes to Airbnb and why they do the dumb things that they do…
Glad you are back.
Thank you so much. I tell you what at this point we can’t survive without them. You wouldn’t believe the list of issues we have from paying for photos. Them taking the payment but never posting them. To allowing people to book with fake credit cards that are stolen. But without them. We struggled so much. They represent 7 bookings for everyone we get else where. We even joke. If a Airbnb client wants to punch a hole in the wall. Give them a hammer.
Hello Barry,
I know it has been a long time since you posted you were thrown off of Airbnb. Did you ever take them to ARbitration? I have had a similiar issue and paid $1,000 for Arbitration. It is not yet scheduled. I am looking for those who have gone through with arbitration.
Would love to speak with you on Whatsapp or somewhere else.
Best to you, Karen
