how airbnb takes payment
Pricing at Airbnb is completely conducted by the hosts. The payment options vary, but they include major credit, debit and prepaid cards, PayPal, and Google Wallet. Here are the fees you can expect as a guest: Security deposit: Guests will have to pay a security deposit, which is set by the host. That's to help cover incidents incurred during a stay, such as a broken item or unreturned key. Service fee: Airbnb charges guests a 6% - 12% fee whenever they book a service.
