Can you not sell it back to the company or similar? You need to speak to a specialist as I think it is a bit of a minefield when it comes to Timeshare rules.
Many people are recommending eBay or craigslist because of the more inexpensive upfront fees, but the success rate is very low because people are not looking to purchase a timeshare.
Remember, timeshare companies spend millions of dollars every year in marketing cost and training to sell timeshares. There is a reason, because they are hard to sell even when they are new!
For any resales company, ask for a guarantee of getting rid of your timeshare like Timeshare Relief provides.
If there is a mail box or a community bulletin board at your home resort, you can put a “For sale” sign. This will pressure the developer specially if they sell it for $20,000 USD and you offer it for $5,000. Sometimes on the fine print of some sale agreements says that the developer has the first right to buy if your place is ever sold. I have heard of developers paying the money (as long as is not too much) just to take the sign out.
To resale or rent a timeshare is a hard task, the basic rule is not to pay money up-front, don’t be another victim of a scam.
Unfortunately over 50% of people that really need to sell their timeshare falls for this resale scams where they charge money upfront and less than 10% of them use their only real option which is to post it or offer it trough free advertising options as much and as many sites as they can (it is ok to pay a few dollars to post in a great place but no more that $20 to $30).
Timeshares do not have resale value and in most situations you would take a loss in what you paid for, as they resale for less than $2000 USD.
