I've  sold a few cars on ebay.  It's not cheap.  So keep that in mind first and 
foremost.  It's useful for selling a special car like a Spitfire, but I tend to 
let them sit in my driveway for a while with a for sale sign on them before 
shelling out the money for an e-bay listing.

That said, here's a couple of pointers.

You can't have too many good pictures.  The more the better.  Link to a picture 
posting page to carry more.  All the angles, all the spots like trunk and 
engine bay.   Make sure they are clear and complimentary.  

Be accurate.  List and better yet photograph the defects.  Really go through 
the vehicle and tell exactly how things are.  This includes things you can't 
photograph like a noisy gearbox.

Remember that almost all the bidding will take place in the last 5 minutes of 
the listing.  

Mentally be prepared to deadbeat bidders.  I haven't had that on a car yet, but 
I know lots of folks who have, and I have had it on other items.  It's not the 
end of the world, but be prepared for it.  E-bay has some rules for this, but 
to use them you must obey them.
