We added a new property on Tuesday and VRBO is still showing inactive.  Any suggestions?

Whenever you add a property to Vrbo, you have to go through a bit of a rigamarole to choose the commission plan (Pay-Per-Book or subscription). I can never figure out how to do it (it's not in an intuitive place). I emailed OR a suggestion to add a note to the "Instructions" page for where to do this, but Ken's response (which is sort of fair) is that Vrbo moves it around and OR can't always keep track of when Vrbo changes it, so OR doesn't want to add instructions that could potentially be out-of-date.

If you still can't figure it out, let me know and I can dig up where I finally ended up finding it.
