It won't hurt to re-register with a snappy username. A 'dorky' username isn't suicide, but I'd go for something a bit more professional sounding.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Open a free yahoo email with a fake name then open a paypal acc using that email  but with your snappy Ebay name [ real name will be hidden inside the paypal acc]
Then you will not get all that spam that others on this forum get.

With the name " allgirls" just market it like this guy, the down side might be that a lot of guys don't even notice the part for sale though

Get someone to list it for you mate. I don't mean to offend but you can't spell for shit and you want to look as professional as the product you are able to produce.  ;D
Sooner you start selling the sooner you will get good feedback.

If you are selling wordwide & not just OZ put an add on   http://elsinore-swap-meet.com/     & or marks vintage swapmeet before ebay,no listing fees or selling fees as far as I know, You have to join marks as a member,pretty much as easy as joining up here, not sure about the elsinore swapmeet but i think it's fairly painless too :)

Don`t sell other peoples item on your account. if it sells, if it sells and the tax man audits you, he will want proof.

It's worth a crack for no fees,specify Paypal only,most people have it nowdays,no PP no sale,protects you & them ;),Don't know if PP have fees but you would more than likely encounter them selling through ebay anyway,only a suggestion mate,your call :)
