Fees for special offer of $0?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any experience with making a special offer to a guest with a rate of $0? I have an Airbnb host/friend who is offering 3 nights at his rental as a prize for a charity auction I am organizing. He would like the booking to still go through Airbnb to he is covered via Airbnb insurance and he can charge a damage deposit through the site. How does that work if he makes the winning bidder a special offer of $0? What will Airbnb charge for service/guest fees?

Thanks!!

I think the minimum is $10 pn, there is no damage deposit with ABB.

I would like to do the same, can I just Pay the Airbnb fees? I understand and agree with Airbnb wanting their cut but I wouldn’t need the funds for the rent. Another way may be to use your credit card to book it and get it back from Airbnb minus there fees and the 3% they charge the owner. May cost you a little but it is Charity.
