Many renters use PayPal, where there is some security for both parties. Once the pts are reserved, the renter checks with MS, and then charges on their Master card, and sends thru PayPal, an online service. if the renter doesn't send the money, the ressie is cancelled, since the owner retains control of the pts. The other half of the charge should appear at PayPal at whatever time both parties have agreed upon, usually when the renter has received written confirmation from MS with the ressie in the renters name. As the person renting pts, the biggest problem for me are those who want to rent, but have no idea that I am just a regular person, and I don't have an "in" with MS. each person on this board who rents out pts will receive at least 20 replies from people who are just curious if certain days are available, in case they decide to take a trip. It's hard to sort the wheat from the chaff, so be specific what you want when you contact a person who is renting out pts.
