@Jessica-and-Henry0 I know, I can't believe this Airbnb response that they are posting in reply to every new thread that has been started on this. It's a bug, we're working on it and have patience- not one word about what hosts are supposed to do, if the bookings will be cancelled, if the host is just expected to take the loss, if Airbnb will pay the hosts the difference.
Totally outrageous, seconded.
This is eerily reminiscent of last year when Aussie hosts didn't get paid for weeks- all were being told something different, finally the payments started to come in dribs and drabs, no explanation was given, no apology, no compensation.
