Hand the plates in.  When you go to get it rego you will need a full rwc then take it in for inspection and you will then be given new plates.  Make sure you have a receipt of sale, but if not a stat deck will suffice with how you purchased it and how much you paid.  As for now though they dont need to know anything, just let the rego run out and forget about it.

The seller has some responsibility as well. Ebay sales are not treated any differently.
