You're asking for a concrete legal opinion, which is not what LawGuru is for. The site is here to provide general guidance in understanding the law, not to take the place of your own lawyer.

If you want to set up a business with one of these names, you will need to hire an attorney to review the applicable law, as well as your proposed disclaimer, and write an opinion letter for you.

The other attorney is right on point here. You can also check with eBay and get their feedback. Consult with a good business attorney in your area for specific advice.
