Pics (number and clarity) are more important than the description. Also, keep the discription to helpful discriptive facts not "used car salesman flair."

I always use the www.carad.com listing service for a professional look. They are owned by eBay and integrated with their auction process. Cost is $10.

I'm not a fan of the cookie-cutter Carad.com listings.

While their heart is in the right place, it's a bit generic and contains a lot of stuff you don't need, and I hate their photo navigation.

Use thumbnail photos and host the large, hi-res version elsewhere (Like Photobucket.com). Big images will bring many users PCs to their knees due to their size if they all load at once.

While this listing has too much "sales bull" and uneccessary story in it, it does have some nice photos (They could be smaller thumbs) and information, and even a video.

If you can wait about one more month before you sell I would suggest that as well. I have a '94 turbo Mustang I am going to be selling soon and if I go the eBay route, I plan to wait for the good weather and take a few days to design my layout for eBay.

Good luck!

I agree with that comment, but only if you know HTML and have the capability to create an ad like the one shown.

I use carad because I do not have HTML skills and the cookie cutter look is professional, quick, and easy.
