Penalized for cancelling pre-approval

Penalized for cancelling pre-approval

My listing used to be on the 1st page even when I wasn't logged in.

I canceled a pre-approval offer and a few minutes later I was never able to see my listing again on the 1st page.

Airbnb should warn us about it before cancelling pre-approvals.

 

Have it happened to any one?

That is not the reason you are not showing up in the search results higher.  You are a brand new user with a brand new property with no reviews or even a picture of a real human on your profile.  Your profile "quality" is low.  https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/39/what-factors-determine-how-my-listing-appears-in-search-resul...

I have cancelled or removed pre-approvals many times and it did not affect my placement in search listings. It is not the same thing as declining a request for a reservation. Pre-approvals give the potential guest a limited time to accept. If I receive a booking for the same dates from the other two sites where my property is listed I have to remove the pre-approvals on Airbnb before accepting the reservation on the other site.
