Hey Cleo! It's totally normal to be skeptical with the relatively large amount of cash that is being exchanged in a transaction like this! I was too at first. But, this is why we like to buy the "Verified" weeks and our simple rules we follow when renting on Redweek. Many people don't realize that a "Verified" week is about $300 cheaper than the "Verified and Protected" week. Redweek charges you (the buyer) a big fee for that protected part. We are usually looking for the best deal we can get and that fee counts! What we do is look for a seller that has a long relationship with Redweek. It's listed right there on the rental page. (ie. Member since 2018) Also, you will get a confirmation within a few days with your name on the reservation so using a payment form that includes a credit card adds another layer of protection. Meaning we don't use Zelle or a payment type that comes straight out of your checking account. Use Paypal or Venmo with a credit card. Hope that helps!
