DBA just means..... literally..... write this down....
DOING
BUSINESS
AS Let me google that for you
So.... it's just a term widely used meaning literally, you're doing business under a different name. A good example is cellco partnership, doing business as verizon wireless. Of course you know about verizon wireless, but cellco partnership doesn't sound as good. So..... they get a DBA, giving them a fictitious name
It's not needed to get a DBA to do business as so and so... it's just a good idea so when you apply for an EIN, it's cleaner.
Any sole proprietor that didn't get some kind of articles of incorporation but do business under a fictitious name, such as joe blow and joe blows copper stealing service, will most likely not get an EIN and use their social security number for everything. You can get an EIN/tax ID for this, and it's the better way to go to maintain privacy.
DBA name can be matched? By whom?
The safest way for ebay to NOT match your personal info is to read the stealth guide, and make an account under an alias and use all new information such as date of birth, address, credit card, email, etc...
BTW... if I have your EIN, or tax ID... I can't just call the IRS and get info for you. No one can.
It sounds like you're making this too complicated.
