Why do we have to pay as DVC Members to advertise our rentals? Its free on FB? I don’t understand who get the money and why? It would be nice to rent here .
I don't mind paying a bit to advertise here though I only rent occasionally when I have extra points. I feel safer here as an owner and I think it is easier for me to vet a renter and the renter to vet me. It is still cheaper than renting through a broker and the owner has more control over the situation.
My *contribution* helps keep the community active (let's face it nothing is free!) My renters are awesome and feel safe enough to contact me again when they need a reservation. It is mutually beneficial IMO.
