Expedia Inc. Homeaway VRBO Holds Customer Names Hostage - Pure Greed Bellevue Washington

The "Oh I don't like what you say so I am going to accuse you of working for the company".

Guess what your "Oh you don't post a town proves you work for them" means NOTHING. If you observe all of the updates do not post a town..not even yours.   As for my interest, I am just a regular consumer who saw your post and made a few comments.  And if you still haven't figured it out let me be very clear.  I do not now or have I ever worked for Expedia or any other Travel site.

But I did do one additional thing, I did a quick search of when Expedia purchased VBRO.  It was purchased in November of 2015, and Expedia completed the aquisition that December.  The booking fee appears to be added midway through 2016.  Not in 2017 as you stated.  So this "sudden" change isn't so much of one, as many of the articles I saw showed that those changes were notified well in advance.

A Class Action lawsuit can be filed for just about for anything.  It doesn't mean it gives any merrit or you would get anything. After all there were several "Class Action" lawsuits against banks for Overdraft fees.  Guess what everyone in the class got from the "victory" against the banks...about $70.  Oh and the lawyers got a few million dollars.

People get moved from one contract to another when businesses are sold. and this happens all of the time.  In fact your agreement with VBRO probably had a couple of clauses about this.   Did you have a Contract with VBRO that stated the terms you were under could not be changed for all eternity? Did the contact state that you were entitled to those terms for a specific amount of time? Did Expedia violate any terms of THAT contract?

For example if you paid the $299.00 yearly subscription fee, then when they were sold to Expedia, you could POSSIBLY have a valid complaint for the remainder of THAT years term.  However, with it being 2017 and Expedia purchasing in 2015 this seems very unlikley.  As once that year term ended..so would any valid complaint that they had to continue with the same policy.  

I am thinking you work at home for Expedia to reply to comments such as mine ergo no town. Can you clarify your interest in this topic. 

Just as a point of fact, there are several class action suits in several states in regards to moving people from one contract to another without permission and the Attorney Generals office in Washington just forwarded my now official complaint to the Expedia Board Secretary.

Also, my property along with thousands of others was withdrawn from the Homeaway/VRBO site when Expedia refused to compromise and many are currently thriving on AirBnB whose policies were established from the getgo - so no surprises.

Sorry but you do not have anything close to a valid compalaint, nor is this anything any Attorney General is going to pay any real attention to.   They aquired the original "rights" when you signed up with the company they bought.  Yes...this is something you agreed to.  If you don't like the new policies then market your property through other means.

The fact that you don't like the new requirements or fees to market YOUR property is irrelevant. The fact that it was done a certain way for a previous amount of time is irrelevant. The fact that you think you are some marketing genius and can tell other Multi-Billion dollar companies how they should do buisness is irrelevant.

You don’t have to play, you say. You are right.
