Re: If Owner only accepts Venmo and Paypal, is there any payment risk? (by RedWeek Support):
If you book a rental posting with a Verified and Protected flag, your payment will be made to RedWeek by credit card. We do not disburse the money to the owner until two business days after you check in to the resort.
If you are not using RedWeek Online Booking, then we encourage you to take precautions to make sure your transaction is safe. We offer assistance here: Stay Safe
