Tips on selling your car on Ebay

It amazes me how some people try to sell their cars on ebay. I couldn't imagine listing a car and not cleaning it up. I enjoy going through listings and learning about all sorts of models. You can learn alot about a car and it's owner by the way it is advertised. A few tips on selling your car:
1: Remove all garbage from the interior so nothing shows but the car
2: Vacumm the interior, so many cars I see the carpets/interior is filthy.
3. Wash and polish the exterior, dah.
4. A little elbow grease in the engine compartmart/interrior goes a long way.
5. Take some decent pictures, not overexposed and out of focus. Make sure the car is not half in the shadows and sunlight. Use a higher resolution setting and enable the picture to be enlarged. For a vast majority of people looking for a online car, this is the only way to evaluate its cosmetic condition. I have to laugh at the little 1" square inch pictures taken from 40 feet away, don't be an idiot.
6. Don't lie, cheat or give inaccurate information. Alot of people looking for a nice Benz's are very well educated about our cars and can spot a BS'er a mile away.
7. Don't go on and on in your cars description about nonsense that tells nothing about the car. This is usually a sign of a BS artist who is scamming.

Anyone else have something to add or comments on this subject please do so , as the public needs to be educated.

Be careful of the pictures taken in sun light at the back, designed for hiding defects, I was conned on a SL500 Benz as the guy who sold me the car was very good a moving junk for steal of a price(you'd think you were getting a deal)

Never buy salvage titled cars, in general they will buy the car back from the insurance company for penny's on the dollar and will shadily fix the car and move it again, double profiting.
