New Hosts NOT getting paid for 30 days!

I am shocked to find that now Airbnb is holding host payouts for 30 days!! This is a new term that make no sense to me. How can Airbnb think that host can operate for 30 days wihout payout specially after initial investment in furniture, cleaning supplies, amenities, decoration, toiletries, etc... This is very bad business practice in my opinion, and makes no sense to me....

 

I have refered many hosts in the past becuase I had great experience and because I would get paid 24 hours after booking completed, but now this experience is shattered with this non sense..

 

Anybody outhere think this is fair?

simply not a good practice, since they have no work to do while hosting a client, and the guest are essentially being hosted by you and there is no costs accrued by airbnb...This is a shameful practice and taking advantage of the host. 

I am missing payouts for two months now , I don’t think they wanna give me the money so I’ve started taking legal action . After 30 they eventually payed you?
