I'm selling my car on eBay, what should I be wary of? I've already forbidden bids from people with less than 5 feedback, should I do anything else?

TIA!

State your payment terms (i.e. deposit on auction end and full payment within 7 days or whatever).
Say "do not bid if you do not have the means to pay" and remind them that they're bidding to buy the car and not to view it.

I always say that people are welcome to come and view the car before the auction ends but if they want to drive it they must arrange their own insurance.

Thanks Bonce, already taken those precautions. I'm concerned about somone with no feedback sniping at the last minute and then proposing a ridiculous payment scheme (I read about this on another listing).
