Booking a Space
How do I book a space?
The first step is to find a space that fits your needs. Once you’ve found the right space, you can send a booking request to the Space Owner with details about your booking. The Space Owner will then accept or reject your booking within several days.
When do I pay?
Once the Space Owner has accepted your booking request, you can pay for the booking by credit card on the “Bookings” page. Please note that all prices on listings are in United States Dollar (USD) currency.
How far in advance do I have to book a space?
We recommend that you book a space at least 2-3 weeks ahead of time. The further out you book a space the better chance that it will be available to be booked.
What is the Placeuse processing fee for guests?
Placuse charges guests a processing fee to help cover the costs of running our business, including completing your booking transaction and providing support. The fee is set at 5% and is added to all bookings.

How does the reservation process work?
Making reservations is easy with Placeuse. You’ll receive a message in your Inbox and an email when someone has booked your space. You can view the details of the booking request on the “Reservations” page found in the menu tab, and choose to either accept or reject the booking. If you accept the booking request the booker will then be able to pay for the booking.
How do I get paid?
We’ll send your payout to you within 24-48 hours after the booker has successfully used your space. We send payouts to Space Owners through PayPal, so we ask that you add your PayPal email address on the “Profile” page so we can send your payout to you.
Placeuse takes a 10% commission fee from Space Owners for each space booked. Space Owners will also be charged a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 from their payout by PayPal once they have accepted the payout on PayPal.
Example: a Space is booked for 1 hour at $100. Placeuse receives $10 from the booking and the remaining $90 is sent to the Space Owner. The Space Owner receives their payout through PayPal, after PayPal’s fee of 2.9% + $0.30 is deducted, leaving the Space Owner with a total payout of $87.09.
How can I edit my listing?
Go to the “Your Listings” page in the menu tab and click the “Edit Space” button on the listing you’d like to edit.
