Charles, It may well be that some of us, and certainly me are struggling to understand the concept. It is supposed to be an independent review site for consumers, yet reviews can only be placed about suppliers that pay into the review site, and at the price charged by Feefo this is only going to be ...

Charles, firstly my apologies, I did not, and could not have known of your personal circumstances. Review manipulation is easy; just get a few email addresses from Yahoo etc. Send details of a bogus client together with accommodation dates and one of your email addresses to Feefo, then when contacte...

A quote from the feedback site: ( I assume Bill is not related ) Bill Cawley enjoys buying and selling on eBay. One day, when buying a part for an old lawnmower, it occurred to him that nobody would buy anything on eBay if it were not for the feedback from previous satisfied buyers. If this is true ...

Has anyone here had a booking from Flipkey commission listing and been paid by them via Paypal.
Flipkey do not have it anywhere that they have negotiated a reduced Paypal charge.....at least not that I can find.

Paypal page says 3.4% is charged for receiving money into your account.

I really cannot believe that a company as large as Flipkey cannot arrange anything as simple as bank transfer. There is something that I'm missing. What I really do not understand is how a company as small as YOU do not accept anything as simple as a PayPal transfer. It is pratical and reliable. 99...

Bank transfers from US accounts to European ones can be notoriously difficult, there's quite a bit of stuff on here about it. Yes Helen I agree for an individual...... but for a company as big as Flipkey, banks should be crying out for their custom, and it could be implemented into their payment sy...

I mailed accounts at Flipkey to see if there was another way to accept payments.....see reply below. "Thank you for your interest in FlipKey Payments. Unfortunately, at this time, we have no way of accepting payments for international accounts without using PayPal. Our payment system is brand n...

Does that mean we can get a refund if we've only recently paid? (I'm not really expecting an answer to that) that would be good ! I have used Flipkey own new payment system, and they keep the deposit and the final payment until the guest arrives. They now do not charge any Paypal type fees but appl...

I cancelled a couple of years ago, just did not get enough enquiries, Having read the above, I logged in using my old login details, and hey presto the advert was still saved n their database. Not only that but the 3% offer was there as well !! Not at all adverse to 3% for a confirmed booking, so wi...

I think it a waste of good cash, paying out for an SEO 'expert' who will probably achieve nothing.
If your site is just for your own holiday property, the money is better spent listing with extra big name listing sites.

Hi Lel, I wonder about the wisdom of hyper linking to other tourist sites in the text of your local area page. This is good and free advertising for them, takes the viewer temporarily away from your site. At least one of the sites you link to advertises properties for holiday rental in your area ! M...
