Expedia recently bought VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) This was a well run site that allowed owners to list vacation properties direct to the renter. (Similar to AIRBNB) The price of the rental was clearly spelled out along with cleaning fee's, security deposit etc. Owners pay a significant amount to list on the VRBO website. Without telling owners VRBO added a fee to the quote the renter received. The fee is up to 10% of the rental that the renter has to pay for. This has caused cancellations by renters, and owners are leaving VRBO to list elsewhere. They don't like the fee and neither do owners. Owners who don't comply are eventually punished. Please sign this petition to stop Expedia from gouging owners and renters.

This really feels like it should be illegal. My business had totally dropped off. Are they trying to put us out of business?
Total cash grab. Told the "marketing rep" (sales guy) that they are ripping off customers.
Yes they raise the taxes really high. Claim they are giving you a sale price
Another great business brought down by a greed-based business model. Goodbye VRBO.
They have sadly just begun. Their "plan" I am sure goes much deeper. destroying a formerly good VRBO system. Guests are disgusted and I am too. No renewal on VRBO for me, I'm done. (and so are Many potential guests they have alienated)
Another great service bites the dust

They are gouging the renter under the guise of protecting the renter when in reality they are screwing the renter & the unit owner. They are forcing renters to book through them rather than directly through the owner. A great idea totally screwed up by Expedia. Everyone should cancel their listing asap!
