DVCRentalStore - How long to wait for a match?

No it doesn’t say. I’ll just email them again

I pulled my request (at about 10 months out) and they are refunding the deposit. No one had picked up my request. I rented from someone here on the boards.

So I submitted a request through DVC Rental Store and paid the initial $100 deposit a month ago for a stay next xxxxxx. The request isn’t for a super popular resort but I still haven’t heard anything back. Does anyone know what their timeline is for refunding that payment if they can’t match me with an owner? On the website it doesn’t give a set time before they give up, so to speak. I think if I withdraw the request voluntarily I lose that $. It’s not a lot I know but I’d still like to have it to put towards my vacation. When I emailed a week or so ago, she simply said they’re still working on it. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the question.
First time for me to use the DVC Rental Store and traveling Solo as a senior citizen. After researching 3 different DVC Rental business's, Disney Rental Store is the one I chose since it had good recommendations and was based here in the U.S.A. I appreciate all the comments. I've been feeling anxious and I just put my request in last week. I didn't go with a Confirmed Reservation as the dates didn't work for me and when I put in the dates I wanted in the browsing section there looked to be a lot of studios available and one at The Riviera Resort with a preferred view for a week for a very reasonable price. I was surprised it was even listed since I thought the more popular resorts were usually booked out a year in advance and I'm planning on going in September 2026 when it is my birthday.
I guess I will wait a few weeks as their email said it could take a few days/ weeks before they found a Member who would be able to rent at the specific time I asked for.
I haven't been on the DIS Boards for awhile and started again since I'm planning this trip. My sister & I always seemed to find such valuable information on it. Thanks to you all.
