Villa booking via bank transfer?
As the title says I am close to booking villa via vr360 homes and the villa owner can only accept the money via bank transfer. Is this normal and does anyone have any experience of booking this way.
Many thanks |

As villa owners we find bank transfers so much easier but we do also accept cheques and credit card via PayPal

You risk losing your cash if anything went very wrong. Not suggesting it will, but you've already answered your own question, and you are nervous.
No need for such risk in my view. There's hundreds of villas on Homeaway- get their protection and Consuner Credit Act Protection.

Nope. No real protection, I wouldn't risk it.

As already mentioned by another villa owner we accept a few forms of payment including bank transfer but again I let the renter decide which payment of method they would prefer. To see the villas available on the Dibb there is a villa request section plus a location map in the Dibb menu. Just pop your requirements in the request section and any available owners will respond.

I have read that twice and am genuinely puzzled as to how any point demonstrates explains why bank transfer is the best payment mechanism.
Regarding the first point on cost. In the UK it is illegal to charge a customer more because they choose to pay by credit card. It is also prohibited in ten states in the USA, one of which is Florida. I can’t comment on the rest as I truly cannot see the link between paying by credit card versus bank transfer and the points made. I don’t mean to be argumentative, by the way, I just do not understand. |

Another puzzled reader here. I think Magnificent is mainly drawing a comparison between direct booking with villa owners vs booking through a third party.
There is really no doubt that payment by credit card clearly offers an added protection to that via a bank transfer. I mean no disrespect to any villa owners in Florida or elsewhere, but I wouldn't dream of paying for a villa booking with a bank transfer. |
