pricing

Hi, can anyone please tell me why when I have set my nightly price for my entire home in Noosa for $500 a night, it comes up as $396 a night when I go in to look at it as a guest? That is quite a big difference, I thought I got to set the price!

Thanks,

Todd

That looks like a currency discrepancy, as if there are two different currencies being factored in. (And, based on the current exchange rate, I'm guessing the second currency is the US dollar.) When you browsed as if you were a guest, where were you located? In Australia or elsewhere? Were you perhaps using a VPN that used a server in another country? What browser were you using?

 

When I view your listing (I'm in the US), your standard rate (the one in large type in the dark bar at the bottom right of the opening photo) is $435 (USD). When I open the calendar and mous over dates, the open dates in April show $395 (USD). Further out in the year I see your default $435 (USD). The April dates match (close enough) the $396 you mentioned, so this is more evidence that there's some currency discrepancy involved, either via your browser or at AirBnB (which I doubt).

Hi @Todd11,

 

Please let me calm you by letting you know that everything is setup correctly on your listing and all you need to do is scroll down to the bottom of the page where you will find the currency section when viewing your prices.  Somehow your currency was switched to USD but only for viewing.  The price did not change with what you have set.  Here is a post I wrote on this subject quite some time ago and it appears that it happened to a lot of Australian hosts.  It probably just took you a lot longer to notice it.
