Wednesday is 4 days away. If you can't take Paypal and don't want to get paid in person at Con, I'm not seeing many other options.
Don't call someone a scammer when you know nothing about me
I've ended up with a spare hotel room at the Hilton Bayfront, checking in Wednesday, checking out Sunday at the con rate.This room was reserved through Travel Planners so I do need to be paid back the deposit. I've already had people who don't want to pay me the deposit until in person at check-in (too risky for me!) or who want to pay with Paypal (I can't take Paypal for multiple reasons) so haven't been able to get rid of it yet. Would like this settled ASAP, even today.I can also sell individual spots within this room (for one or multiple people) but would prefer to have someone or their party take the entire room. There are a few people interested in taking just room spots.Please send me an email at seerakosumosu[at]gmail[dot]com with the title "SDCC 2014 Room" instead of messages, please.
Seerakosumosu, maybe add this link from your room sharing post from 4/23 may help You are not allowed to view links.

Does the confirmation show a penalty for changing the date of arrival?
Yes, I've spoken to the hotel and the dates as well as number of people on the room can be changed.I don't believe there is a penalty. If no one takes the room hopefully I can call the hotel and beg myway out of the deposit, since I already paid for another room.I've been screwed before at cons with at-con payments or Paypal, and such a big amount is too risky.Plus there's a whole laundry list of reasons of why Paypal sucks. I try to avoid it unless if it's an eBayauction.And with how small-minded some of the people on these forums are, I can see why a number of conattendees who I know don't frequent these forums much...

Please use the subject "SDCC 2014 Room" so that your email doesn't get misdirected.2. Don't forget to include a link to your facebook, twitter, or some type of online identityand also include a bit of information about yourself, such as age, gender, and hobbies.I use "seerakosumosu" everywhere.
Include a brief description about yourself: This is the 8th SDCC in a row that my sister and I are attending. We are both in our 20s. I do exhibit hall and signings while she does Hall H. I have run rooms at other conventions before for several years, including running multiple rooms for a group of 30+ people every year at Anime Expo. (Had 45 people this year at Anime Expo last week!)Additional preferences for roommates: We prefer people who are courteous, organized, clean, and considerate. We do not want partiers or bringing guests back to the room! We tend to get a lot of swag so we would prefer people who don't cosplay or at least won't bring a lot of stuff with them, and make sure to keep their possessions in their side of the room. We only get a couple of hours of sleep a night and head out early in the mornings, so please be considerate of us and quiet hours.

As Carlo said you have to look at this from the buyer's perspective. For example, considering how many con attendees you know I am so shocked that none them wanted to take your room and you had to come back to these forums. Oh, you've paid for another room. But you said you had decided on staying in La Jolla. You are not allowed to view links.

Sounds like a scam and I don't want anyone here to fall for it.
