Selling a piano on eBay

I've been asked by a customer to help sell a piano.  I've taken ads in 
several papers, with few results.  I'm thinking of putting it on eBay. 
Several concerns come to mind, namely the overseas overpayment scams and so 
on, but those can happen from newspaper ads, too.  I asked eBay if it would 
be OK for me to auction an item I don't own, and they said it would (the 
customer is not very computer literate).  Ideally I would walk him through 
setting up his own account, but it takes time, especially with the PayPal 
part.

What advice do you have about the listing: number of days, starting price, 
reserve, forms of payment accepted?  Or don't do it?
