You may get in trouble for using Ebay's name, but not for using your real name. So if your name is Carl, and you call it Carl's store, I think you'll be fine. Don't quote me on it. You MAY need to file a DBA if you start calling it Carl's Tools or something, and you try to register a domain name.

From what I know, yes, you can get in trouble for this. Ebay is a trade name and if you use it, you will get a notice from Ebay's legal department sooner or later. Sort of like, Amazon.
