Selling A Time Share: Is eBay A Solution For Individual Timeshare Owners?
There are hundreds of eBay sellers that deal with selling time share holidays. However, most of them are timesharing networks, property owners or travel agencies. Unlike other eBay services, which are dominated by individual sellers, eBay Travel is a domain of larger companies. Selling time share holiday packages by their individual owners - who, let’s say, can’t go on holidays, but want to make some additional money for selling their time share instead of wasting it – is only a small fraction of eBay travel services market.

However, if you are a one-time timeshare seller you can still make it all right, though you will need some additional effort to make it. First off, selling time share holidays on eBay is not for everyone. In order to prevent frauds, eBay requires every seller who wants to start an auction on eBay Travel to acquire a SquareTrade approval. SquareTrade is an independent (or, really, semi-dependent) institution that keeps an eye on the honesty and fairness of you or your company. While the procedure is not too difficult, it is paid. This additional fee plus the always true chance of some mishap during the auction makes many people abandon their plans and keep their time share holidays.
Another problem is the fact that most companies selling time share holidays do not spare money on marketing – especially on bolding or coloring their offers in the eBay listing. If you add the fact that their listings are usually professionally prepared, it may seem that individual sale is not possible.
Fortunately, this is not the case. First of all, selling time share is not as difficult – there are literally tens of thousand potential customers who visit eBay travel every year and all you need is one of them. If only you have a fairly decent listing, everything should be fine.
