Stealth PayPal & AirBnb

[Rick10]

Hi guys,

quick question.

I would like to book some holidays for the next months and I was wondering what is your experience with AirBnb and stealth PayPal?

Have you had any issues or positive experiences?

Cheers

Never done Airbnb with PayPal, are there any Identification procedures with AirBnb?

Be careful with AirBnb and read their Terms of Service. They do want you to link your social media accounts, google, etc and use the information from those profiles for their own use. It's best to have "throw away" accounts with little to no user info on them. Other apps are just as invasive, so again refer to the ToS if unsure.

From a privacy standpoint, these apps are a disaster.

Wait, doesn't Aspkin.com fall under Social Media?

I'm referring to the apps mainly. They collect and share tons of info for other services (such as Airbnb) so was making the OP aware of that.

It could be a possible linking factor later on, but no harm if all the info is ⊗⊗⊗⊗ anyway, right?

Using a stealth Paypal? That may be an issue.

Why not use a credit card?

Yes you are right, credit card seems to be the safer choice.
I just currently had some funds in a paypal account thinking to spend, but it doesnt make sense.

Thanks everyone for the hints
