Airbnb have not completed necessary procedures for Lloyd's & HSBC s verification security checks so couldn't pay by debit or credit card. Airbnb told me to use Google pay, Apple pay or PayPal. Downloaded Google pay which unsurprisingly didn't work as still linked to bank account. To be fair the support team tried really hard to help but blamed enhanced security from the bank. The host was really helpful & tried to resolve but the only way I could book was using a friend's PayPal as I had stopped using mine due to problems. Such a shame as previous experience last year was good & good flexibility for short breaks but won't use them again.I would suggest to only try to book if you are happy to use PayPal.
