Question 1

How much does it cost to sell a timeshare on BidMyTimeshare.com?

Accepted Answer

Listing fees start at $18 for a 7-day auction or rental. Fixed-price sale listings cost $32 for 6 months or $65 for 24 months. There is 0% commission — you keep 100% of the agreed sale price. Timeshares with an asking price under $1,000 qualify for a free 12-month listing.

Question 2

Is there a commission on sales?

Accepted Answer

No. BidMyTimeshare.com charges 0% commission on completed sales or rentals. Sellers pay only the one-time listing fee. The full agreed price goes directly to the seller.

Question 3

How does the selling process work?

Accepted Answer

Create a free account, submit your listing (resort, week, unit, asking price), pay the listing fee, and go live. Buyers can contact you, bid in auctions, or make direct offers. Once you agree on a price, the platform generates a digital sales contract PDF. You and the buyer sign it directly and arrange payment and transfer independently.

Question 4

Do I need a real estate agent or broker to sell?

Accepted Answer

No. BidMyTimeshare.com is a direct owner-to-buyer marketplace. No agent, broker, or transfer company is required to list or sell. You set your own price and negotiate directly with buyers.

Question 5

What types of timeshare can I list?

Accepted Answer

You can list any type: fixed-week deeded ownership, floating-week right-to-use memberships, points-based vacation club memberships, and fractional ownership interests. Listings from all resort networks — including RCI and Interval International affiliates — are accepted.

Question 6

What is a 'right-to-use' timeshare?

Accepted Answer

A right-to-use membership gives you the contractual right to use a resort property for a set period (e.g. one week per year) without owning the underlying real estate. It is the most common timeshare type in Europe and Mexico.

Question 7

Can I rent out my timeshare instead of selling it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rental listings are available for $18. Your listing is shown to people searching for affordable resort accommodation. The rental agreement is arranged directly between you and the renter.

Question 8

How does a timeshare auction work?

Accepted Answer

An auction listing runs for 7 days. Buyers register and place bids during that period. The highest bid at the close is presented to you — you can accept or decline. There is no buyer's premium or hidden charges.

Question 9

What countries and resorts are supported?

Accepted Answer

The platform covers 5,000+ resorts in 100+ countries. Primary markets include Spain, Portugal, Mexico, the USA, the Caribbean, Italy, Greece, France, Turkey, Thailand, and the United Kingdom. Any resort or membership can be listed.

Question 10

How long does it take for my listing to be approved?

Accepted Answer

Our team reviews every listing within 24 hours. You will receive an email once your listing is live.

Question 11

What happens after a sale is agreed?

Accepted Answer

The platform generates a digital sales contract PDF with both parties' details, the resort, week, and agreed price. Buyer and seller sign it directly. The buyer then pays the seller and both parties coordinate the ownership transfer with the resort or management company.

Question 12

Who pays the resort transfer fee?

Accepted Answer

Transfer fees are charged by the resort or management company — not by BidMyTimeshare.com. These typically range from $0 to $500 and are agreed between buyer and seller as part of the negotiation.

Question 13

What currencies are supported?

Accepted Answer

Listings can be priced in EUR, GBP, USD, SEK, NOK, DKK, or CHF.

Question 14

Can I upload my own photos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sellers are encouraged to upload photos of the resort and unit. Listings with photos receive significantly more views than those without.

Question 15

What languages is the platform available in?

Accepted Answer

BidMyTimeshare.com is fully available in English, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Spanish, and French. The site automatically detects your language or you can switch at any time.
