Enquiry from TA could create a double booking
I've just had an enquiry via TA for two weeks next July/August (including a £422 booking fee, but that's just another bag of dung). Anyway, I'm pleased I always check the dates and fees on PIMS first before making any reply as I could have potentially double book the last day of our own holiday!
I've checked my TA listing and the calander clearly shows the dates of our holiday booked up to 5 August and the enquiry is from 4 August and there's nothing on the enquiry to indicate the dates clash or are not available.

Have you set your enquiry filters to prevent enquiries for booked dates?
From your dashboard go to My Account and then Enquiry filters and then select:
Trip length is below my minimum stay
Changeover day is different from my saved day
Dates are marked as unavailable on my calendar

Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.
It's TA - HL el al not HA et al. Keep uptavi wrote:slight digression here - but were these bookings from outside EU?
I thought the service fee was not yet added to European bookings?

So, the general consensus is that TA commission listings don't have enquiry filters, only subscription listings, so allowing enquiries for booked dates and risk of double bookings. There's no indication on the enquiry that any dates are already booked.
