    Hi, thanks Deano, I'm thinking of listing my car on Ebay but I'm waitng for a free listing day for motors. I'm a bit dumb when it comes to photos - how do I blank out the number plate? Caz x

    Either download Paint.net from here

    OR simply stick a piece of paper over your number plates when taking the pictures.

    If you are blanking out number plates, I would leave part of the registration with at least the year number showing to give confidence to potential buyers.

    There's only a limited amount that you can do. If the buyer wants a free phone, they'll simply tell paypal the item's damaged and tip the contents of their bin into a parcel and send it back to your address SD. Although that only happens very rarely.
