Arvia Bridgetown, Barbados

The €13,756.12 total shown above is the asking price of €12,977.48 the seller set, plus a 5% buyer service fee of €648.87, plus 20% VAT charged on that fee only, which comes to €129.77. The service fee follows SpareHolidays' published rate table: 10% on asking prices up to €500, 8% up to €1,500, 6% up to €3,000, and 5% above that. VAT applies to the platform's commission, not to the travel booking itself, since reselling a booking between two people isn't itself a taxable sale. Nothing else is added: the €13,756.12 shown now is what your card is charged in full at checkout.

This seller hasn't reported an original price for this listing, so there's no per-listing discount to show here. For context, across 49 listings published on SpareHolidays between May and July 2026, sellers who did report both prices set their asking price a median 22% below the original price they say they paid. That figure describes other listings on the marketplace, not this one, and it relies on sellers self-reporting the original price, which SpareHolidays doesn't independently verify.

The buyer's card is charged in full at checkout. The payment is split immediately by Stripe: the seller's share goes straight into the seller's own Stripe account, and SpareHolidays receives only its fee. SpareHolidays does not hold the seller's money, but it does control the payout date — the seller cannot withdraw their share to their bank until the confirmation window closes. The seller is paid out only after the buyer confirms the transfer, or the confirmation window closes without a dispute. If the transfer never happens, or the purchase is cancelled before that point, the buyer is refunded.

For bookings with travel dates, payout is scheduled 2 calendar days after the buyer's trip ends.

If the seller never completes the transfer, or hands over something that doesn't match this listing, you can open a dispute — within two (2) days after your trip ends for bookings with a travel date, or within 7 days of transfer confirmation for bookings with none. Your card was already charged in full at checkout, not merely authorised, so a dispute resolved in your favour, or a cancelled purchase, gets that charge refunded rather than the seller being paid regardless.

An open dispute, payout hold, account ban, or payout re-authentication requirement can delay release.

Yes, but the provider's name-change fee isn't included in the price above. The seller has declared it's charged to the buyer at transfer without stating an amount yet. Message the seller to confirm the fee before you buy, since SpareHolidays' review checks that the seller made this declaration, not the fee amount itself.

Before this listing went live, a person on SpareHolidays' team checked the seller's submitted proof against what's shown here: the provider, the dates, the route or location, and, where the booking names a traveller, that name. A seller may use AI to help fill in the listing form, but that's typing assistance only, never a verification step or an approval, and no listing carries an AI-approved badge. The review confirms the proof is internally consistent with the listing, not the booking's current market value, whether the provider will accept the transfer, or how the trip itself turns out. Those depend on the provider's own policy, and on the seller's word, once you buy.
