service fees

hi guys 

am i the only one feeling that airbnbs fees are getting too high... 

i mean if the guest is willing to pay 10-14% on top of the cost of the stay, it means to me that my property is priced to low...  kind of feel like i need a platform that purely allows the transaction to take place, that way i can earn some of that 10-14% and the guest can pay less of that 10-14%//..? anyone else agree? 

this is especially the case of repeat bookers...

There is a platform for repeat bookers . . it's called directing return guests to your social media page to book direct. 

hi Emilia i agree, just a bit cumbersome and wondered if theresa platform that maybe just charged a listing fee...and a smaller transaction charge... ive worked previously for homeaway and i know the margins are huge!

if not i might have to make a platform!
