Each renter has their own terms. I know when I rent them out I ask for payment via paypal within 24 hours of the reservation being made and the rentee being able to confirm the reservation through the very site you used. Thank goodness you had the foresight to check your reservation again and saw that it was cancelled...just think how awful it would have been if you waited until closer....it's just a terrible situation.Its so unfortunate, because I haven't heard a single word from the DVC member today. Nothing saying she tried and failed or succeeded... nada. I'm frankly just so exhausted with the possibilities of what all this means that I'm going to keep pestering her with the Paypal claim. I've documented every detail with Paypal, and saved the voicemail she left on my cell yesterday when I didn't make it to the phone on time. Even if her intentions were good all along, the lack of communication is extremely unnerving considering payment has been made. I'm requesting my money back in full immediately... I sadly don't trust this situation one bit anymore.
When points are rented, does the renter usually pay the member in full up front? Was that a stupid thing to do on my part?
Paypal will simply take the money from any active account on file with them. You must have a bank account and most have a CC listed. IF all of those are inactive then they're likely out of luck. My guess is had this been the case Rachel would not have seen the money and paypal had it before Rachel did.Just curious, Rachel. Have you had any contact from the owner AFTER the Paypal settlement? My guess is that Paypal is going to be much more proactive about getting their money back from her than you were, and she's going to find this isn't going to go away nearly as quickly.

Bingo. I was so worried that the member would deactivate the Paypal account when trouble started, but apparently none of that happened. Now I provided Paypal with both email addys the member was using, so I have yet to find out which one will generate my refund. As far as contact with the member, other than the one email she sent me AFTER the Paypal due date (letting me know she was busy) I have not heard from her. I'm not delusional enough to expect anything more from her, but I do have a renewed love for Paypal.
