Currency of choice

I have a €uro bank account in the Czech Republic.  I want to pay for AirBnB in €uroland.  AirBnB insists on charging my card in Czech Krowns and causing me unnecessary extra expense.   How can I get through to AirBnB to change this?

Airbnb will always charge you in your local currency, even if you have the means to pay in the currency of the listing you want to book.  Why? Because they say so. 

 

You cab can google a contact number for Airbnb but exist them to tell you it's impossible .

I have a EUR bank account in Croatia and airbnb insists on charging me in USD (not in croatian kuna which is the local currency). I just talked to their customer service and they said they only accept payments from Croatia in USD, which seems weird. I think I'll stop using their service until they fix it.
