Mac OSX site passwords

I've just sold my old iMac through fleabay, however before I send it off, I want to ensure all my personal stuff has been deleted.

I've deleted personal files, easy enough; and emptied the browser (safari) cache, however it is still remembering and auto populating log in's and passwords for sites such as ebay and similar, obviously this is not info I want the purchaser to have.

Can anyone advise me how to get rid of this information,

Thanks.

    Really you should completely wipe the hard drive, format and reinstall the OS from the original CDs, then there will be no trace of anything, not unless you are into forensics anyway...
