Not true at all. All of my timeshare purchases (except the first one from a developer) have been through eBay. Never a problem, always a bargain, never had to ask for an estoppel. I rely on the good feedback and have never been burned (but only 6 purchases on eBay).Honestly, almost all eBay sellers are kind of fishy. I suspect they all use shill bidding. If you want the week, I would proceed with caution. Get the estoppel letter before you send money so you can be sure that you are buying what they advertised.
The auction in this thread is clearly a scam, so buyer beware. (I would not touch this auction with a 10' pole).
