I get the legal differences, but in practice EU-like return policies are extremely common in the US. Are there really significant cultural differences with regards to returns?

There are thousands of coordinated successful phishing campaigns going on against Paypal every day, what value would that reporting provide to anyone?

Requiring businesses to file breach notifications over credential stuffing attacks seems completely insane to me. What's next? Breach notifications over phishing campaigns? Perhaps the goal is to render breach notifications useless by

Because the data can often easily be tied to specific people. You also can't set up a camera on the side of the road and store peoples registration plates and times when they drove past. You could also easily track cellphone IMEIs and

GDPR compliance is a big problem in this space, there's no GDPR exception which would allow you to legally collect this data in the EU. (Unless you limited your collection to whitelisted A/C) Right now every single player in this

No, and the "city", "state" and "country" fields reflect the location of the property and not the person making the reservation.

How come you didn't bother to check the list for dupes? You'd have found out that it only contains 755k unique entries, out of which only around 450k are unique users. >Under GDPR, the fine would have been $420M That's not

It's not info on 3.7M users, it's info on 3.7M reservations from 2017. Hilton has over a million hotel rooms, 3.7M reservations is nothing . Most likely this data comes from some OTA that was breached. Edit: I downloaded the actu

VRBO isn't directly comparable because it doesn't compete with AirBnB for hosts. Nobody lists only on VRBO, unless they've been banned from AirBnB. VRBO doesn't do this, and has way harsher payout policies for new hosts

Ebay has it easier because they can treat their sellers way worse than Airbnb can treat their hosts. Paypal is kind of universally reviled over their security measures.

Such as what other merchant? You're probably thinking of businesses which are not really comparable.

Chargeback periods can be super long, they'd have to keep the money in escrow for months . It's not impossible, but would severely discourage new hosts from signing up to the service.

by gggggg5 4y ago
Sure is, fraud forces merchants to add these extra hoops for you to jump through in order for them to remain profitable. If AirBnB didn't do this, they would simply cease to exist at some point.

More importantly, Airbnb loses a shitload of money here.
83.
by gggggg5 4y ago
Of course it's Airbnb's problem. They pay the fraudsters host account via bank transfer and then get a credit card chargeback, losing whatever money they paid the host.

> Wouldn't this be handled on the payout/property owner side ? Property owners get paid with bank transfers, so clawing back the money from fraudsters is essentially impossible.
