Price now automatically includes all fees, anyway to avoid this?

Hi Hosts,

I am now seeing my listing pricing showing "Price includes all fees". This used to be an option to choose as a host for each listing, but now it is automatic, or so it appears to me. Anyone else seeing this in their market or listing? I cannot find a way to remove nor can I conduct a general search without the fees being included.

In our case the AIRBNB fees are quite high per reservation and so having it separate added a layer of transparency and honesty to the pricing system. I realize that AIRBNB has been suggesting and pushing hosts to include the fees in an 'all in one' but the result is that it hides the AIRBNB fee.

Curious what you are experiencing? ANd if there is a way to remove this?

Thanks for any insight.

PS.. not sure about the accounting break down. I"m sure you know all the ins and outs of the Earnings section? Can get both earnings reports or earnings summary. The earnings summary does itemize the Airbnb service fee, which the 1099 doesn't. So I include both to my accountant. It does it in both. 

Although you are right for itemized details for each guest, the earnings report only shows the amount. This is what I have to submit to my County to prove Airbnb paid the local taxes, although it doesn't show the break down, so hopefully it's ok, because its all super wishy washy, and intentionally vauge and I've been paying double for that for the past 6 months, which hopefylly will be resolved.

yes, I agree and  I find the new “prices include all fees” display misleading and unfair. It lumps in cleaning and service fees, making listings look more expensive. I have seen a large decrease of bookings since that change was made. They should at least consider offering hosts and travelers the OPTION to display both the nightly rate and total price, or let guests toggle between the two.
