This is not the whole truth!
There is a Bug in airbnb (app and Web side), which causes automatically changes in `Account =>Global Preferences` when you log in. This depends on the circumstances - where you are and the (language) setting of your device.
And then it can happen that CAD is changed to USD in global preferences and you dont recognize...
If you dont believe:
1. Have 2 Devices - Laptop and Smartphone- with possibility to log into airbnb
2. With Laptop open 'Account => Global Preferences ` and change the setting
3. Log into airbnb with Smartphone and your normal setting
4. Refresh the `Global Preferences ` side of your Laptop and see that it changed with the login with the Smartphone
If you now think, that this is not a big thing, you are wrong
.... as long as you dont leave your country or use VPN it will probably not affect you ....
In other cases your global preferences can change.
In my case it was a terrible thing, as due to automatic changes from language= espaniol /Mexico to German and currency MXN to EUR when i was in vacation in Germany, my mexican tax payer Status also changed and the 16% VAT / IVA was not anymore collected from the guests. I had to pay the VAT ....
My workaround: I opened a new airbnb account with another email , be my own Co Host and only use the Co host Account for log into airbnb. No more changes in Global preferences...
(It took me a lot of time to find the root cause and the workaround, and of course no help from Air Support ...)
