People who sell worn socks on eBay

(I swear I’m not a hairy handed thigh rubber- I’m a regular but namechanged)

Or other fetishy type stuff that fetches a bit more than normal. I have a few questions if anyone would like to help me out.

Is it possible for me to sell without my identity being given to the buyer? Can I have a different eBay account? If so the buyer would still see my name from my paypal information wouldn’t they? How do I get round that?

Also- what sells and what shouldn’t I bother with? Is eBay the right place or are there better places? Any other tips?

Thanks in advance.

Needs must. Ignore if you can’t help.

Is your name easily changeable by one letter? For example, my first name is spelled in an unconventional way but on Paypal, for the same reason (not the socks reason! Just so I can't be identified lol) I have replaced one letter with another so it's spelled the conventional way. I have used it for years without any problems despite it being linked to my bank account where my name is spelled the way I was christened with.

It's a pair of worn socks Confused It's not like OP said she was going to film herself naked in them and sell the video to someone

Buyer would not see your name at all. On checkout it would show your id ”usedsocks” and PayPal would show ”ebay payment sent to usedsocks” so it wouldn't show your actual name. You can have up to 8 email addresses on a PayPal account so on the eBay listing that could be something like ”[email protected]” but obviously set up the email address first.

How much are we talking here?

Thank you!

Yes I can change a letter of my name but also good to know my name won’t show at all!
