All a big headache isn't it, this channel manager stuff. I joined up with Rentals United about 4 weeks back thinking it was supposed to be a one stop shop to get onto a number of websites. Well, after all this time, there is still one website I am not listed on (and in fact myself, RU and misterbnb have all been in discussion to make it work, and still no listing!) I am on a couple of sites finally, but then I got an email telling me I have to "log in and update my calendar and rates every 15 days or risk being deactivated". Then I got told by RU to let them know I am using a channel manager and "And we see what they answer, if you have to login anyway and you prefer to be disconnected, just let me know." This is not what I thought channel managers do. They all advertise how you can connect to a 'million' websites through them(easy, right?), but then you need to set up accounts, log in, check you're live on the sites, etc etc. Not good enough.
