Doing Business As dba Suggestions

I have been suspended from my ebay account and I am planning on opening a new one. I just finished reading eBay Stealth and that has helped a lot. I have been searching online for places to register a DBA and most of them want $125 or more. Does anyone know of any sites that are cheaper for opening a DBA before I register for one of these? I am out of the US. Any help would be great!

If you're just getting started, you may skip the DBA unless you're going to open a merchant account.

I've seen it priced at $99 with legalzoom.com, they're a solid company as well.

thanks again for the information. i was thinking of using the DBA just because i have a UPS store with PO Boxes, but they give you street addresses. i also like to buy items on ebay and need a place to have them sent. that way wouldnt i need a DBA for when I sign up for the PO box so I can accept the mail that comes to the business name?

It's a good idea yes.
