That one baffles me. It clearly incentivizes hosts to get you to click with a misleading low price, damaging the AirBnB experience, without giving AirBnB an edge over anyone else. (The results aren't appearing alongside normal hotels.)
- Shivetya 10y agoEBAY had to take action against sellers who were increasing shipping costs to set a minimum value on their items. Originally I don't think any of the shipping cost was factored into the fees paid to EBAY. So I would hope that AirBnb does something similar to include presenting the full cost of rental at all times. There should be no fees other than those AirBnb specifies.
- code_duck 10y agoThat's what this situation reminded me of too. eBay sellers will say a $12 item is 1.99 plus a shipping cost inflated by $10, which makes the price look cheap in search, and also avoids fees on eBay and PayPal.
