Shouldn't the thing to say then be "Never Pay too much to list" or "Beware of paying an upfront fee when the representative is assuring you they have a buyer willing to pay more than the unit is worth" or some similar phrase? But it is incorrect to say "never pay an upfront fee".

I agree, just because you overpaid for a product doesn't mean you where scammed, but many of the complaints revolve around the deceit told to people in order to get the money. These companies promise refunds, then don't deliver. Some of these companies disappear altogether. That is the real scam.

You also have to checkout the websites of the upfront fee companies. If you "google" Timeshare Resales, do the sites of these upfront fee companies show up.

Yes, Sellmytimeshare now charges hundreds of dollars, but do you want to pay hundreds of dollars to list your unit on ONE site when for less than $100 total you can list your unit on 4 or 5 sites.

There are several posts on TUG regarding Sellmytimesharenow. SMTN started out as doing business the way one would expect...ethically and morally. They would tell people exactly what their TS was worth. However, when other up-front fee companies came along and told people that their TS was only worth $10000 and it could be sold in 60 days, SMTN stopped getting the listings. Then SMTN changed their business model to start telling people they can get the big bucks.

Here's one thread which may interest you.
