Charged $129.59 through Paypal for a “recurring” Airbnb that we never used. Airbnb has no record. They took the money out of my checking account, which I entrusted Paypal with. I immediately deleted it from Paypal. So frustrating!

Awaiting Paypal to resolve it for me. I also contacted airbnb and they are looking into it too. So far NO resolution yet.

It is all about the subscription with PayPal I was not aware of as you also stated.
Cancelled that immediately within Paypal!!!

He called Airbnb support number as soon as the Paypal account was charged due to fake booking. The customer service told him that they would escalate the issue to the right department. But right after he hung up, he received a mail saying his phone was removed from his Airbnb account and his Airbnb acconut was cancelled! Then he called the support another time but this time, the rep said he could not verify the account, his phone number seems to be connected to another account than my husband’s email, and the rep hung up saying he cannot do anything about it… Oh he asked if we remembered the previous rep’s name, which we did not. All has been very frustrating.. And now husband’s phone is linked to someone else’s account that we have no idea of, and we have no way of reaching Airbnb and confirming his account to even to tell what happened.
We are now calling Paypal. Hope it would be resolved soon as this is a lot of money for our family.

I don’t even have an AirBnB account that I’m aware of. I just got the email from PayPal service that the charge had been made. I disputed it through PayPal but after a few days they came back and said case denied that it was not unauthorized. Same situation though it was a preapproved payment. I swear I’ve never seen set up an AirBnB account. I’m livid I can only assume that money is just gone.
