Re: first time renting our timeshare

[Q=markm284] what suggestions does anyone have for the first time we rent our timeshare? Who should we use Paypal? Pitfalls? tinker_mass@yahoo.com[/Q] Here is an update as to what has happened. We paid the deposit in Dec. It was through paypal, and my husband was SUPPOSE to put it through the credit card. Turns out he accidently clicked the wrong button and it came out o our checking account. Additionally, paypal is my husbands thing and he never told me that paypal only allows 45 days for a dispute. If my husband relayed this info to me I would have checked on it within that time. Also...I tracked down what city he was from and called the police( I only had 2 disconnected phone #'s and his name, used the internet). He is unfortunalely now deceased, passed away at the end of Jan!! Also his name was known to the police because I was not the only one. I wrote to customer service here at Red Week, and they too have recieved other complaints. I do know that Red Week has nothing to do with this at all. He responded to my ad and I was too lax. It could be, he had intended to follow through with these reservations, but he dropped dead. So we'll never know. However I must say , in all that I've learned after the fact, if it was above board, I would have recieved more info from him right after the deposit.
