Why you can trust us
The timeshare resale industry earned its bad reputation honestly: companies take $1,000–5,000 up front and the owner never hears from them again. We work the opposite way — a small one-time fee, the listing live within minutes, and a written report of what actually happened every month.

Why we built BidMyTimeshare.com
Our founder, Mika Mikkola, has worked in the timeshare industry for 30 years – in the Canary Islands, in Thailand for 11 years and in Finland. In that time we have met countless owners who bought at a sales presentation believing the resort or its marketing partners would help them sell later. In our experience, that help rarely came. When their holidays changed, they were left with a timeshare they no longer used, yearly fees and very few honest ways to sell.
Timeshare itself is not the problem. For families who travel, a timeshare bought at the right price, with reasonable yearly fees, can be a sensible way to holiday for years. What has been missing is a modern, safe place where owners and buyers find each other directly.
So we built one at home first. Launching Lomahuuto.fi, our timeshare marketplace in Finland, in 2024 made us nervous – timeshare resale has a poor reputation, and much of it is deserved – so we kept the model simple: owners list their timeshare, buyers make offers, and nobody promises a sale. Most sellers have been long-time owners whose holidays had changed.
BidMyTimeshare.com brings the same model to owners across Europe and the US. You can look at Lomahuuto.fi yourself, and you can ask us anything before you pay.
Why the law bans upfront resale fees – and why a marketplace is different
Many timeshare owners have paid resale companies up front for a sale that never happened. That is why EU timeshare law (Directive 2008/122/EC) defines a resale contract as “a contract under which a trader, for consideration, assists a consumer to sell or buy a timeshare or a long-term holiday product”, and prohibits “any advance payment … before the actual sale takes place or the resale contract is otherwise terminated”. National laws across Europe follow the same rule.
Here is the part nobody mentions at a sales presentation: developers and their marketing companies sell their own timeshares. Reselling yours is not their business. And nobody knocks on your door asking whether you have Wyndham points for sale. A resale timeshare sells only when buyers can find it – on a marketplace they already visit.
That is what BidMyTimeshare.com is: a marketplace, not a resale company. We sell advertising space. You set the price, every enquiry from a buyer goes straight to you, and the sale is agreed directly between you and the buyer. We do not deal with buyers on your behalf, negotiate for you, sign anything for you or take a commission, and we never promise a sale. The same applies when we build the listing for you with the Done-For-You service: we write the advertisement, and that is where our part ends. The listing fee pays for your advertisement for the period you choose – like a classified ad.
Every listing is published in eight languages and can be found through search engines, and owners can add social media advertising. Our goal is to make selling or renting a timeshare as ordinary as selling a car: a visible place to list, direct contact with buyers, a fair one-time fee and no false promises.
What your fee buys
- Your listing on the marketplace for the period you choose, in 8 languages — buyers in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Britain and the Nordics read it in their own language.
- Done-for-you option: we write the description, add resort photos and publish it for you. You only give us the resort, the week and the price.
- Buyers contact you through the platform. Your name, email and phone number are never published.
- A monthly report: views, saves, offers and messages. If nothing is happening, you will be the first to know.
What happens after you pay
- The listing is published immediately — usually within minutes, not after a review queue.
- You get a receipt by email with the payment reference.
- You can edit the text, photos and price yourself at any time.
- Buyer messages and offers arrive in your dashboard and by email.
What we never promise
- We do not promise that your week will sell. Nobody honestly can.
- We never name a sale price to attract you. Most timeshares resell for a fraction of the original purchase price, and some are worth very little — our valuation tool says so out loud.
- We do not cold-call you into an 'exclusive buyer' offer. There is no such buyer.
- We take no commission and no closing fee from your sale, ever.
The honest part
Most timeshares are sold at the resort's own presentations, not online — that is simply how this market works. A resale sells online when the price is realistic and the listing is visible to the right buyers. We can do the second part, and we help with the first. If you are not ready to price your week for the resale market, listing it anywhere is a waste of your money — including here.
