Airbnb misled Australian customers by charging them in US dollars when they made a booking.

The short-stay accommodation provider has been fined $15 million for breaching consumer law, and will pay $400,000 towards the ACCC's costs.

Airbnb will also spend about $15 million to compensate more than 63,000 affected customers.
