@Joetta0 if you are a guest, check the statement of your payment method. If you are a host, check the statement of your payout method.

Hello @Joetta0,

It looks like you're new to hosting.

For reservations of up to 27 days Airbnb charges the full amount to the guest as soon as the reservation is ocnfirmed. 24 hours after the guest checks in with you Airbnb starts the process to pay you. Depending on how you've chosen to be paid it may take a few working days before the money appears in your account.

I'd suggest sppending time clickin on "Help" and reading the articles there. Also use the "Search the community" box on the page where you posted this question to search for posts about "contacg airbnb", "cancellation", etc.

One very useful source of information is Community-Help-Guides.

Be aware that there are penalties if you cancel a reservation.

I'm a host. What penalties apply if I have to cancel a reservation?

If Airbnb sends you an email saying that a guest wants to cancel never accept it. It's a sneeky ploy by Airbnb. If you accept it you'll be deemed to have made the cancellation and will be penalised. Guests sometimes use it in an attempt to get out of the booking without loosing money.

Hope hosting goes well for you. You can always find help here on this forum.

Steve.

hello @Joetta0,

If the reservation is confirmed, then the payment has been made.  No booking is complete without paying.  Airbnb holds the money, then makes the payout to the host 24 hours after check in.
