Frequently Asked Questions
What is BidMyTimeshare.com?
BidMyTimeshare.com is an online marketplace where timeshare owners sell or rent their vacation ownership weeks directly to buyers, without agents or brokers. The platform charges a one-time listing fee and zero commission on completed sales.
Who owns and operates BidMyTimeshare.com?
BidMyTimeshare.com is operated by Timeshare Global Solutions Limited. Its founder, Mika Mikkola, has worked in the timeshare industry for 30 years – in the Canary Islands, in Thailand for 11 years and in Finland.
Who is behind BidMyTimeshare.com, and has the model been tested?
BidMyTimeshare.com is built by the team behind Lomahuuto.fi, a timeshare marketplace launched in Finland in 2024. The model is the same: owners list their timeshare, buyers make offers, and nobody promises a sale. Founder Mika Mikkola has worked in the timeshare industry for 30 years and built the marketplace because owners were often led to believe at sales presentations that reselling would be easy — in his experience, it rarely was.
How much does it cost to sell a timeshare on BidMyTimeshare.com?
Listing fees start at $16.9 for a 7-day auction or rental listing. Fixed-price sale listings cost $27.5 for 6 months or $51.9 for 24 months. There is 0% commission — sellers keep 100% of the agreed sale price.
What countries does BidMyTimeshare.com cover?
BidMyTimeshare.com covers timeshare resorts in over 100 countries, with a primary focus on Spain, Portugal, Mexico, the USA, the Caribbean, Italy, Greece, France, Turkey, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. The resort catalog includes 4,900+ properties.
What languages is BidMyTimeshare.com available in?
The platform is fully available in English, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Spanish, French and Italian, making it one of the few timeshare marketplaces serving the full European and North American market in native languages.
What types of timeshare can be listed?
BidMyTimeshare.com accepts fixed-week deeded ownership, floating-week right-to-use memberships, points-based vacation club memberships, and fractional ownership interests. Listings from all major resort networks are accepted, including RCI and Interval International affiliates.
How does the timeshare selling process work?
Sellers create a free account, submit their listing details (resort, week, unit size, asking price), pay the listing fee, and go live. Buyers contact sellers, bid in auctions, or submit offers through the platform. Once agreed, a digital sales contract PDF is generated and signing is completed directly between buyer and seller.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell a timeshare?
No. BidMyTimeshare.com is a direct owner-to-owner marketplace. No licensed real estate agent, broker, or transfer company is required to list or sell. Sellers set their own price and negotiate directly with buyers.
What listing types are available?
Three listing types are available: (1) Auction — a 7-day countdown where buyers bid; the highest bidder at the close wins. (2) Fixed-price sale — buyers make direct offers at or below the asking price. (3) Rental — owners rent their week to holidaymakers for a single season.
How does a timeshare auction work?
A timeshare auction on BidMyTimeshare.com runs for 7 days. Buyers register and place bids. The highest bid at auction close is presented to the seller, who can accept or decline. There is no buyer's premium and no hidden charges.
What is a right-to-use timeshare?
A right-to-use timeshare gives the buyer the contractual right to use a resort property for a set period (e.g., one week per year) without owning the underlying real estate. These are the most common timeshare type in Europe and Mexico and are fully eligible for listing on BidMyTimeshare.com.
What is a points-based timeshare?
A points-based timeshare allocates a fixed number of annual points to the owner. Points can be redeemed for stays at affiliated resorts, with more desirable dates or larger units requiring more points. BidMyTimeshare.com accepts listings of points memberships from all major vacation clubs.
Can I rent out my timeshare instead of selling it?
Yes. Owners can list their week as a rental for $16.9. The listing is shown to potential renters searching for affordable resort accommodation. The rental agreement is handled directly between the owner and renter.
What happens after a sale is agreed?
The platform generates a digital sales contract PDF containing both parties' details, the resort, week, and agreed price. The buyer and seller sign the contract directly (in person or digitally). The buyer then pays the seller and both parties coordinate the ownership transfer with the resort or its management company.
Who pays the resort transfer fee?
Transfer fees are charged by the resort, developer or management company, not by BidMyTimeshare.com, and buyer and seller agree who pays as part of the sale. They vary widely: Club Wyndham lists $399, Anfi charges €700 and Marriott charges resale buyers of points at least $3,000. A sourced brand-by-brand table is at bidmytimeshare.com/en/timeshare-transfer-fees.
Is BidMyTimeshare.com a timeshare resale company or an exit company?
Neither. BidMyTimeshare.com is a listing marketplace — similar to a classified ad platform for timeshares. It does not purchase timeshares, guarantee sales, or provide timeshare exit or cancellation services. Sellers list at their own price and buyers decide whether to purchase.
How many resorts are in the BidMyTimeshare.com catalog?
The resort catalog contains over 4,900 timeshare resorts worldwide, each with a dedicated profile page including location, photos, AI-generated descriptions, Google Maps placement, and links to active listings at that resort.
