Why can I not import my Vrbo or Airbnb listing into Houfy again?
"Duplicate links are not accepted" usually means the link is still on your Owner details page - remove it there. If it is not listed, a review pull added it and we clear it for you.

If Houfy tells you "You already added this link, duplicate links are not accepted", try this first.
Step 1 - check whether you can remove it yourself
Go to Manage Listings, click Edit on the listing, and open Owner details. Any Vrbo or Airbnb link you added is listed there with a Remove option. Remove it and try again.
Step 2 - if the link is not listed there, we have to clear it for you
This happens when the address was brought in by a review pull rather than typed in by you. Those links do not appear on the Owner details page, but they still count as duplicates - which is why the message can look like it is about a link that does not exist.
Email the exact URLs to info@houfy.com and we will clear them. We will confirm by email once it is done.
If the message says "This listing is already imported in your Houfy account"
If you deleted the listing that was created by the earlier import, that deleted listing still holds your Airbnb or Vrbo address, and a new import cannot take it. Deleted listings are not shown on Manage Listings under any tab, so there is nothing for you to remove yourself. Email info@houfy.com with the Airbnb or Vrbo address: in most cases we can restore the deleted listing, which brings back your photos and everything you had already filled in so you can carry on where you stopped. If you would rather start over, tell us and we will release the address instead so the import runs cleanly.
