When you paint a car or get a car from the factory the paint comes out of the paint guns a little rough, if you look close into the reflection it is like the skin of an orange hense the name orange peel. Well if you sand that down with super fine sand paper and then do a series of rubbing compounds with a high speed buffer gives you back the shine after sanding. It increases the luster in the paint and becomes very smooth. It is a must if you don't live on a dirt road. If you are wondering if your car has orange peel. Look into the relfection in the shade and look at your hand for example and you will see little bumps like an orange. Most likely you do unless someone forked out some money to get it done. I just thought i would elaborate a little. But getting back to the paint. The paint job is perfect. The car has never been hit or anything like that. 
Great! And that's the kind of info that a potential buyer needs, especially on ebay. You could say that you are a pro, and talk about the fact that the car was keyed, and that the job is a pro job, including the final sanding procedure, etc. That's what sells cars on ebay.
I still say lose the rims, or offer them separately.
