Help— owner doesn’t use rental agreements (by Patagonia):

I’m trying to rent a time share in Orlando for the first time through Redweek. It is not a verified listing, but it is the only one with the right dates and size. I asked the owner for copy of the rental agreement or whether he would use an escrow company. He said that he does not use rental agreements. He takes a deposit through PayPal and when the reservation shows in my name, he wants the balance through PayPal. I could use your help! Could he change the reservation once I’ve paid?
