Airbnb is raising their Host Fee to 5.9% effective May 19th! [ Edited ]
I just recently received an email from Airbnb stating that they are updating their "Terms of Service and Privacy Policy".
Has anyone read these. I am shocked that Airbnb will be increasing their Host Fee from 3% to 5.9% effective May 19th. I have always thought that 3% was a great deal but to almost double the rate is unfair. I cannot believe nobody else has brought this up yet. Here is the specific section on the 5.9% Host Fee increase
The changes in terms can be found here: www.airbnb.ca/home/terms-of-service-event

Actually it's being raised higher than 5.9%. If you read the fine print, (the tiny tiny print below in the footnote) it actually says that they have raised their host fees to "53%, plus first- born child". I'm at a real loss for words since I don't have a child to hand over. I wonder if they will accept one of my pet birds?
By the way, I found the explanation for why I am suddenly having all these guests showing up with messy hands:
