I can't search on that site. How would booking work? And how do they earn money?
It reminds me off two negative exemples: 10 years ago or 15 years ago, job adds started in newspapers to be online too, not only in the printed version and some websites sucked them all up and presented them like their own till the newspapers forbade it.
8 years ago, we bought some cheap adds on holiday rental websites. Like 3 months free, then pay a bit or else 1 year for 30 Euros whilst the big ones charged 200 or more. No bookings via those websites, we did not pay again, but they do not take the adds down, they keep it online for years. And sometimes I still get a teaser mail: you got a request on the add, XY asks .... and the text is partly blocked, you cannot answer the person. If you like to answer, you have to pay. At the beginning, it worried me: people see your listing, contact you, get no answer. Then they see your pictures again elsewhere and wont contact you again, as you don't answer. Only this time, it's your real listing. But those sites dwindle down quickly and after a while, the photos are no longer valid and won't mislead anyone. IF possible, I deleted all the photos and texts, but I still got teaser mails about bookings on the empty adds....
