Warning to E-bay Buyers:

We hear continually about buyers who bought on Ebay only to later find out that they were in for a big surprise.

It is common for sellers and closing agencies to not be aware of benefits that don't transfer on a resale. Many timeshare developers do not transfer a whole host of rights that the buyer may be excitedly expecting to receive. Only a licensed timeshare professional is familiar with this and many other traps which are out there.

Closing companies often don't know about them either. A closing agency generally only transfers the deed. They don't like to get involved with the very issues that cause problems, such as points, banked weeks, club benefits, internal exchange rules, etc, etc.

The deed is often not what transfers the sizzle that the buyer is excited about. Sometimes what the seller transfers by deed it NOT what you want to inherit, such as tax liens, encumbrances, or the inability to use the timeshare in the way you expected. In other words, just because the seller could use certain benefits, doesn't mean you can.

If you buy on ebay from a individual or non-professional and unlicensed entity, you are probably out of luck. A licensed real estate broker has to follow strict guidelines, disclosures, and procedures and will be there to recompense you if you don't receive what you thought you were receiving.
