Simplified pricing

[Antoinette151]

Hi everyone,

I just received an email from Airbnb regarding their new simplified pricing system. They explained that they will now take 15% of my payout amount. Has anyone received this email? And how do you plan on working around this? I think I need to get my own website. Please share how you all went about developing your own website!

regards

Antoinette

Since Airbnb changed my fee set up back in April, at the guesthouse we've received just two two-night reservations in the least expensive suite.  Over 90% of the reservations are coming from Booking.com (where we charge more than on Airbnb), or direct contact, and the vast majority of them are a week or longer.  The exception being the getaway/staycations from locals.  The simplified pricing hasn't had any impact on bookings for my Atlanta apartment which is primarily for long-term rental.

How did it affect your gross earnings report on the web site? Did gross earnings figure include added 15 percent or not?

(previously gross earnings included 3percent host fees)
