I believe that this is because historically VRBO had a listing fee but they didn't have a booking fee and didn't take a cut of the booking. AirBnB I believe takes only a cut of the booking, so it costs nothing to have a listing and you price your booking taking the cut in mind. The economics work better for a place that rents sporadically. HomeAway pivoted VRBO after the buyout to have both a listing fee and a booking fee.
