My service fee is not listed. How do I get rid of 3rd party channel? Is it listed on my account somewhere?
@Anita1437 you can find the service fee options in your account settings not your listing.
Yes....if you are using a channel manager, it is listed under your account. Just to note, Airbnb should not have switched you to simplyfied pricing since your listing is in the United States even with a channel manager. Some Hosts have been experiencing a "bug" with this though. You can find other threads on the CC by typing "split fee" in the "search the community" box.
Host Only Fee
https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1857#section-heading-1-0
"...With this structure, the entire fee is deducted from the Host payout. It’s typically 14–16%, though Hosts with Super Strict cancellation policies may pay more, and fees for stays of 28 nights or more may be less. This fee is mandatory for traditional hospitality listings–such as hotels, serviced apartments, etc., as well as software-connected hosts(unless most of their listings are in the USA, Canada, the Bahamas, Mexico, Argentina, Taiwan, or Uruguay)."
That said, you can disconnect the channel manager, but other Hosts report they are not able to then choose the split fee option, even when doing this. You will have to contact Airbnb CS about it.

Thank you so much for your answer @Joan2709 but service fee is not even listed under my payment and payout tab. All the other options are there but not that one.
Yes…as I mentioned as long as you have a channel manager attached to your account you will not see the service fee options.
Have you disconnected the software from your account?
Yes I have.
Other Hosts have reported a problem with this as I mentioned. You'll have to work with Airbnb so you can get changed back to the split fee option unfortunately. You should have never been changed automatically to the simplified pricing in the first place since your listing is in the US.
