Best Way to Word Ebay Ad?

Hope this is ok but i bought a ds lite out of the catalogue but it took so long to turn up we got another in the meantime and then i was too lazy to send it back when the catalogue one eventually turned up lol

I want to sell it and i'm guessing this may be the best time, but i'm worried about scam buyers on ebay, is there anything i can do to protect myself in the sale? By that i mean i know its 100% working as its never been out of the box and i guess i would have to send it special delivery but is there anything else i can do?

Thank you

    you could also try selling it on gumtree? its free to list it there for like 2 or 3 days, then you can just relist it again for free. It may mean someone collecting it from you or sorting things out a little differently as its not as protected from the buyers point of view on gumtree, but could be worth a shot as its free?
