Can we accept cash as payment if the guest does not have a credit card?

I have rejected a few guests who did not have a credit card on file with Airbnb.  If the guest does not have a credit card, is it possible if in the future Airbnb will allow the hosts to accept cash as payment.  Of course we understand that Airbnb should be paid for the transaction, so Airbnb can just bill our PayPal account.

@Fernando635  This will never happen. AirBnB controls all the money and always will. Any host that accepts cash can be delisted for it. If a person does not have a personal credit card, he can buy a preloaded one with the cash to use on AirBnB is what you tell the guest that wants to pay with cash.
