You do not want to give any one money up front to "help" you sell your time share.

Welcome to TUG! 
Paying someone to take your timeshare off your hands, or paying a large upfront fee to an agent to sell your timeshare is not recommended here. There are other ways to get rid of your timeshare that you should consider first.
Please do some research here before you make a decision - Start with the article at the top of the board entitled, "How to Sell Your Timeshare." It also talks about giving away your timeshare, donating your timeshare, and scams to avoid.

They sell the weeks on eBay, and if they told the people that, they would do it themselves, so they have to make up some story as to what they do with them.

The Post Card Companies are scam artists. Anyone who gets one of their postcards should notify the state Real Estate Commission and state AG's Consumer Protection Division and refer them to the appropriate threads on this site so that they get the background on what is going on. Book 'em, Dano!

Were Their Lips Moving ?
That would mean they'd have to put themselves on the hook for paying the ongoing fees for the timeshare weeks they take over, keeping track of the floating weeks or fixed weeks or both, managing "VIP conventional" rentals, etc..
All they do is just dump'm on eBay.
That sounds totally bogus.

VIPs for conventions almost never stay in an off-site location. If the conference or convention is at a hotel, they stay in the hotel. If the event is at a conference center, they stay one of the conference hotels. All significant business events held at convention centers have official conference hotels - no event planner would ever organize a business conference without creating "conference hotels" at which blocks of rooms are set aside for conference attendees at reduced rates.
The reason is simple. VIPs go to the conference for visibility. Staying in an off-site, unofficial location hurts their visibility. The VIP gets the best suite in the best conference hotel, but the VIP is always on site.
****
Now, when I have conferences in an area that has timeshares I sometimes try to stay on a local timeshare. But I do so only on a very limited basis. Most of the time when I'm at a conference I need to be accessible to clients and prospects. If they don't have my phone number, they need to be able to call up my room to reach me. If I stay off-site, they can't do that.
I don't want to lose business just because someone can't reach my hotel room. The same principles apply at virtually all business conferences.
******
There is no market for renting timeshares to business travelers attending conferences. None. It's all a BS story concocted as a canned response to that particular question. It also works because it flatters the listener about the quality of the timeshare they own. "Hey, my unit is so nice that it's in demand from bigwig VIPs."
