Hello George93 - Unfortunately I can't help you, but I agree. I was told by Airbnb that one way to add our event fee would be after the reservation is made, but now that I try to do that I get the message about not being able to "because this reservation is not fully paid." Since it's nearly impossible to get a clear answer from Airbnb, what is your experience on when the reservation IS fully paid? Is it a few days after everything is processed by the banks? Is it at the time of check-in when we get our payout (which is already a crock that Airbnb holds that money for a year or more -- Vrbo doesn't.) Or is it somewhere in between? I can't wait until the cancellation period ends or at time of check-in (what if they have their event and then refuse to pay??). I've tried adding it different ways, but then the pricing gets weird ... so it seems like the best way would be by requesting money for "extra services" but I don't know how/when I can successfully do this since we are new to Airbnb. Most of our reservations are for at least a year out (and they have weddings here), so it will be quite a hassle if we have to keep track of when to request this money in the future instead of being able to do it immediately after a reservation is made. Thanks for any advice you (or others) can give! Happy to try a different way, too, but like I said, so far when I've tried that nothing has worked.
