Resale Companies

I've found a resale in Florida that seems too good to be true. Is there a way to check to be sure it's not a scam? I've called the resort and they have the owner of the week listed as a person and not the company I'm purchasing it from. The company says sometimes they sell the property for the owner and sometimes they get power of attorney for a timeshare week. The company has been around since 1992 according to the purchase agreement and they have a website. I'm nervous because they're taking payment with a credit card. Is that sometimes done?

You're speaking of postcard companies that take a timeshare off an owner's hands for a fee of $3000+ and then turn around and sell it on Ebay for $1.00 (very good deal for the consumer). There are many people that have bought from this system via Ebay .... just make sure all the paperwork is in order and everything is correct in the contract.

I just got cheated out of quite a bit of travel via Ebay. Don't do it. It is true, the old saying about if it is too good to be true.... Besides, there are plenty of deals without running that risk.
