Airbnb terms of service says you authorize them to collect the money from you, even if there are chargebacks, and they'll turn it over to third party collections.

Also there's a binding arbitration clause there too just for good measure.

For me this page redirects me to airbnb.co.uk and the relevant portion of the agreement (Payment Authorizations) says:

> In addition to any amount due as outlined above, if there are delinquent amounts or chargebacks associated with your Payment Method, you may be charged fees that are incidental to our collection of these delinquent amounts and chargebacks. Such fees or charges may include collection fees, convenience fees or other third-party charges.

I'd be interested to see how the wording varies between jurisdictions.

It's a contract aligned totally for the company. I don't think they have a business if they had to have any responsibility for issues.
