Mobile Homeaway issue

I am Trying to book a villa with homeaway and they are are the middle men for the 3rd party florida star vacation
The UK payment for the homeaway fee has been taken
But the deposit for the villa in dollars has been declined on the RBS CC
RBS are no help at all and won't re autherise the payment
Still waiting for the 3rd party to get back to me to retake payment

Never had any hassle booking my holidays through virgin but this DIY holiday lark is being a pain

Any advice would be greatfull 👍

That's weird? Normally the deposit and Homeaway fee are paid on the same single payment and if the Homeaway fee went through ok but not the home owner's fees I would be a bit suspicious re the rental. Have you contacted Homeaway? I would think they would not want to be seen to be associated and claiming fees on a scam (if that's what it is)

Been on to homeaway
They have contacted the 3rd party and escalated it but still not had any response off the 3rd party
If I don't get anywhere with them I will be cancelling it
But really liked the villa 😔

Why don’t you try finding the owner? You’ll probably get a better price without the homeaway fee.

Who is "they" OP? There is not usually another way to pay other than through the homeaway website, and dont get how u paid in 2 separate currencies,as the other poster said fees plus deposit are usually bundled in 1 payment...have you been asked to pay via another route? sorry to butt in if u r actually sorted!

Owners and property managers list there homes on sites like Homeaway.

Homeaway do add on a "Service fee" so definitely worth booking through the owner or local company.

Always find the community you want to stay in then do a google search, or ask people on here for villa recommended booking sites. There are some really good independent ones out there not run by huge corporations.

I had problems earlier this year, paid deposit on us site and balance on uk - seems I had booked twice lol. No clue how I did it but sorted direct with owner. Glad you got it sorted.
