With respect, this statement is simply not accurate. You apparently still misunderstand the details of "verified and protected".
Verified and Protected, by definition, involves RedWeek handling all payment matters after "verifying" the listing details. Online booking is available in "verified and protected", but that's just a booking request. Payment itself is still handled by RedWeek, with no other owner involvement -- that is actually a big part of the "protected" in "verified and protected". The owner does not receive any payment (which is provided only directly from RedWeek) until 2 days after the tenant has checked-in with any "verified and protected" listing. Only "verified" alone (...or not getting verified at all) allows owners to handle their own payment details.
Sorry, but I just don't see how or why you might think that a RW "verified and protected" listing could somehow be "handled directly by the owner" instead of by RedWeek. That is simply not the case. You could also confirm this for yourself directly with RedWeek, by communicating with RW through the "Contact Us" link found at the bottom of this page if you want further clarification.
