1st time renting my time share, does anyone know anything aboutStayPC.com? it is a vacation rental agency that has contacted me with a possible renter, are they legit and is it safe to go thru a 3rd party?

I've never heard of them but never pay anyone an upfront fee to rent out (or sell) your timeshare. If they charge a commission (usually around 15%), their commission would come out of the proceeds of the rental. The renter would pay this third party and then this third party would send you a check.

Be careful if they reverse that and say the "renter" pays you and then you pay this third party its 15% commission because what usually happens is that the check they send you is fake while the money you send them is real. Get the picture?

Also, beware if they told you that they can rent it out for an unusually high amount. Those are usually scams.
