Help SN from DMC already arrived, paid via AirBnB and now AirBnB refunded the payment

[Coffeemaker]

My SN from DMC arrived a few weeks ago. Everything went quite smoothly. I paid the order via AirBnB option and the seller shipped it quickly after the purchase.

Now I got an email from AirBnB in which they claim to ban my account, because I broke the rules of the application by making transactions to DMC. :( Besides they cancelled all my upcoming flat reservations that take place in the future, which is a pity as an enthusiastic traveller. They refunded my previous payment to DMC as well. There was a possibility to reply and provide an explanation, but I have a hunch it won't save them from deleting my account.

In retrospect, it would have been wiser to use a fake account. On the other hand, I have two separate AirBnB accounts and somehow AirBnB was able to send the same threatening emails to both of them!

Has anyone had the same problem? Did you give your statement to AirBnB's emails? And to those who are contemplating on purchasing via AirBnB: I suggest doing it with a fake account!

no idea what DMC is, and also had no idea you can buy stuff thru AirBnB, that isn't accommodation,
so i'm very confused about this

DMC is an acronym referring to an online seller of SN. One of the unusual payment methods that they support is that you book one of their AirBnB flats (but there's no need to turn up - this is purely for them to accept card payments)

Sorry this has happened - Unfortunately I'm not sure what to say in this situation. I've just gone to their site now and AirBnB is missing an an option entirely, so maybe it's not an isolated incident and a wider issue they're facing. To anyone considering, the ONLY payment method they should even consider using is to the USDT address (crypto).

Cryptocurrency is widely accessible globally, every other option listed can (more easily than crypto at least, when not using a centralised exchange) be linked back to your identity. The other payment methods all require a bank account, or bank card, that will include your name in the transaction.

For privacy, and to ensure nothing could be linked back to you, a P2P crypto transaction could be utilised & a PO box for shipping.
