Split Service fee

[Karen3996]

Is the split service fee no longer an option? Are we being forced to go to the single service fee?

Hello @Karen3996 

You can remain for now with the split fee until mid September if you are outside of the EEA and mid October if you are within the EEA.

But yes, Airbnb are definitely retiring this commission fee. ALL hosts, no exception will be transitioned to the simplified fee by the deadline showing in the email you received so you will need to increase your prices so that you are not out of pocket.

Any confirmed bookings under the split fee will not be impacted and will be honoured as confirmed to you and the guest.   Lots and lots of posts on the subject here on the forum!!

Thanks. I searched but couldn’t find anything. But I did find this on Airbnb. 

The split-fee structure will no longer be available to certain hosts. These hosts will migrate to the single-fee structure. To help hosts who don't use property management software adjust their pricing when they transition from the split-fee structure to the single-fee structure, we built a new price adjustment tool in the app. 

Don’t know what that means by “certain “ hosts. Why they didn’t say all hosts.??
