Hi Mary,
Was your issue resolved??
I am new to Airbnb, the initial 1c test payment never arrived in my account. At the time I was told by Airbnb not to worry as the status for my account was "ready". I have hosted my first guests almost 3 weeks ago but still no payment in to my account.
I contacted Airbnb help via twitter and for over 1 week have been told an agent will look in to this problem and get back to me.
I am very reluctant to accept any other bookings as it seems I am never going to receive any payment. I can see this seems to be a common problem and am wondering do people eventually get their money or do they just give up and delete their listing?
