Base pricing showing incorrectly - Australia

Base pricing showing incorrectly - Australia

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me? My base price is $285 but in my listing it's coming up as $222 per night. I'm not sure how GST is treated. Is the $222 price shown excluding GST? In my base price of $285 I have included GST. I'm confused. Many thanks.

Hi. Check your currency that you are browsing your listing with. It looks like you may be viewing in US$.

Thanks for your reply. I have checked and it's displaying in $AUD rather than $USD. Frustrating. Enjoy your day and thanks again. Gina.

@Gina10 Hi there Gina....Now, as an Australian, I just checked out your listing for your lovely cabin and it is coming up at $285 per night...so I can only say that it is displaying correctly. I would be intertested to know what your enquiries are saying. I would suggest you refresh your browser, perhaps delete your browser history as this may have something to do with it because your required price displayed absolutely correctly for me.

 

Just one other thing Gina, I am finding that if a booking request comes through from another country the booking amount will be displayed on my page in the currency of the booking request! If it's from Britain it will display in English pounds......I got a week long enquiry from someone in Zambian Kwatcha and thought I had struck the lottery....I was looking at millions!!! As soon as the request is either accepted or rejected the letting amount on your home page reverts to your regular required figure.

 

I sincerely hope Gina this post is not seen by others as sanctimonious, in-accurate, or self congratulatory!...It is purely offered to try and help you with the question you have raised!.....Rob

The base price of our Deluxe room was US$44, but it showed up to potential guests on Airbnb as $40

- I thought maybe my computer was looking at it in Singaporean$, or Australian$ (as the type of $ isn't mentioned when you search) and I didn't know how to change the view, as a guest, to a different type of dollar.  Anyway, I then increased the base price to US$49, I refreshed the browser and waited 30 mins.. but it still shows as US$40 - please advise where that figure comes from and how I can make it reflect the base price?  https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/3734096

 

Similarly, this room is set at base price US$35 and yet shows up as $28 https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/757039

 

And this room's base price is US$33 and yet shows up as $25  https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/761611

 

I know that Airbnb is an American company but I really think it's important when dealing with an international audience to show exactly which currency is being refered to i.e. US$, AU$ or SIN$ - maybe there are other countries in the world that have dollars too - but not American ones.  Can't you display US or AU or SIN in front of the $ symbol?
