Creating a new account is trivial. I did this after a host posted a malicious review (because I didn't accept his cash-only option) and AirBnB did zilch about it.
After some searching around the web, it seems like AirBnB is now too big to care for anyone.
Now with many alternatives, I don't see why give my money to people who would cut me like so. I have paid airbnb thousands in the past few years.
