If a guest extends by a day and offers to pay cash, does AirBnB frown upon that?

Suppose a guest is booked for 4 days, and the day after that is available and the guests ask if they can check out a day later and just offer to pay cash, holding it right in front of me actually.   How much of a no-no is it at that point to just say 'yes' to the guest and block the day?

I like saying 'yes' to guests when at all possible, as opposed to forcing him back on the site to process a change.

I'm not personally looking to get out of any fees, I think the fees are very reasonable and  I would actually prefer it if the guest did a booking change request.   But.. as in the above case, it does happen where it's just easier to just say 'sure, thank you very much.' and be done with it.

I'm always suspicious of the  "can't I just pay cash when I get there?" request. For one, my husband (handles check in) wouldn't want to deal with the money directly. That's the best part of the site and worth their cut. Also, what if you hold it and doesn't show or tries to short you, now you lost out on another customer. I just say all payments through the site. If you need to do installments, ask the site. PS: buy insurance.
