How do you sell an unlocked iPhone on eBay?

[xolan99]

To unlock an iPhone the phone needs to be on and able to get to the homescreen obviously. But if I wanted to unlock one and sell it on eBay, how would I do that without leaving my iTunes ID, etc.. on the phone?

Hypothetically I was thinking that even if I were to sell an unlocked phone to someone, wouldn't that person have to restore the phone from scratch (thus locking it back) so he could use his iTunes account?

Anyone w/experience, your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just delete all of your phone numbers and email accounts on your phone first.
As for your itunes account, simply click on the appstore, top 25, then scroll all the way down until you see your account link. Click on it and then click sign out.

Once the person who bought your unlocked phone receives it, they would simply have to sync it to their itunes and all of their info will sync to your phone you sold them without having to restore or update to different firmware. Nevertheless, once they purchase your phone, whatever they do to it is their responsibility. So I would just write down these instructions to them and explain to them that if they restore or update they will lose the unlock.

Hope this helps...
