To resale or rent  a timeshare is a hard task, the basic rule is not to pay money up-front, don’t be another victim of a scam.

Unfortunately over 50% of people that really need to sale their timeshare falls for this resale scams where they charge money upfront and less than 10% of them use their only real option wich is to post it or offer it trough free advertising options as much, and as many sites as they can (it is ok to pay a few dollars to post in a great place but no more that $20 to $30).

Timeshares do not have resale value and in most situations you would take a loss in what you paid for, as they resale for less than $1000 USD.

There are some free classified adds where you can start posting:

Sorry you got talked into a timeshare - they really make it sound good don't they?  

But no, you shouldn't have to pay lots of money to sell it too, that's just more money you would lose.  

Talk to family members and friends, they might know people who would want to either buy it, or pay you to use it from time to time so you can at least make some money back on it.
