Annual fee

What is the annual fee to join Airbnb?

I'm doing my taxes, and I can't remember what the membership fee was. Thought I would ask you guys. 🙂 I DO remember being pretty shocked.

@Kevin605  I'm not sure what you're talking about. There is no membership fee at all to join Airbnb, no annual fee. Hosts are simply charged 3% fee on each booking they receive.

Hmm!  Maybe I am thinking about VRBO!  Well, thanks! No wonder I couldn't find it. 🙂

@Kevin605  I was wondering if you were listing on other platforms as well and got confused. VRBO definitely has annual fee.

[Kevin605]

Yep.. $199. But I could have sworn I paid $325 for something. TripAdvisor?! Anyway, I will just chalk it up to declining memory. 🙂

@Kevin605  I have to write everything down these days, or it's gone almost right away 🙂 I can be standing in the kitchen and think about something I need to put on the shopping list and between then and 30 seconds later when I've located a pen, I have no idea what it was.  I'm not senile or anything, I remember important stuff- my theory is that at some point when you get older your brain decides it's not worth using up brain cells for the incidentals..

Exactly!  The old memory chip gets its edges worn off. Well, have a lovely evening down in that beautiful town... 🙂  Buenos Noches!
