I was searching the web to try and find out how much my timeshare was worth. I submitted my information expecting a figure but was surprised by a phone call a few moments later. A man named Quincy Browne contacted me telling me all about the high demand for my timeshare and how it will be sold quickly through their company and how I could get a refund if I sold my timeshare on my own. Everything sounded in order so when they said they needed my credit card info to start the listing, I gave him the info.
The following day, another timeshare company contacted me and wanted me to list with them. They went on and on about BUYATIMESHARE.com and how they have numerous complaints against them and are NOT members of the Better Business Bureau because of it. So, I did a little research and found what the lady said was true. I called Quincy back and requested a refund. He said I could not receive a refund and also that the ad had received numerous hits already. Since I wasn't able to get a refund, I decided to just keep it listed anyway.
I got the contract in the mail a little after that and found out that you CAN get a refund if you cancel within 72 hours of posting the advertisement but it must be done in writing. I was very upset because if Quincy had disclosed this information before when I called to cancel, I would have faxed something over.
They are suppose to refund your fee, which I paid $734, if I sell the timeshare on my own: as long as it's within 15% of the original asking price. Well, I did just that and now they still wont give me a refund.
To make a long story short... Do not listen to the sales pitch. Do some research BEFORE you give your credit card information out!
* I filed a dispute w / my credit card company. I never signed their stupid contract! *
