What fees do your guests get hit with? Seattle 30 percent!!!
I'm quite shocked (and stunned) when I see how much is taxed on to my guest. Airbnb, for their fee, seems to tack on about 14%, then City of Seattle(lodging tax) tacks on 16%, plus another $4 per night. Then Airbnb sucks another 3% in fees out of my payout. Ouch! Quite the sucker punch to the guest if you ask me. If you're a $100 a night, that's 34% more to the guest, then another 3% sucker charge on your payout. Anyone else have any numbers to share from different cities or states?
