Frustrated with VRBO fees

Patricia Andriolo-Bull
Posted

Hello.  Today, VRBO started collecting all taxes for my area (Collier County, FL which is 12% in total).  I received a booking and see that they are taking their fee off of the entire booking including taxes (for reference, even airbnb does not do this.  They have been always collecting my taxes).  I also pay the annual subscription for VRBO given that most of my business comes from VRBO.  Have others seen this?  This doesn't feel right to charge commission on a regulatory requirement.  I'd prefer to collect and pay my own taxes as I used to but not sure if that is even an option.

    I integrated with Ownerrez and now I process all payments outside of VRBO. Game changer.
