Is there a way to not have your personal information listed when selling?

I’ve been having people reach out to me asking to purchase my beats. I’ve been uploading consistently for the past year or so and gained a good following so I feel like it’s time to start actually selling. A friend of mine mentioned BeatStars to start with but when I looked into the process of selling to someone I noticed it shows the sellers name and shipping address despite it being a digital product.

Is there a way around this or are there alternative sites you guys can recommend?

I was one of those kids that stayed up past my curfew to watch Toonami. One night in maybe 2009-2010ish I snuck in the living room to watch Toonami and it was towards the end of an episode. It was a crazed black haired girl with red eyes chasing another girl (I think she was blonde) out of an apartment complex. As the blonde girl stumbles out onto the balcony walkway, below her were hordes of people with red eyes in a trance climbing up the stairs to get her. They might’ve also been chanting in unison now that I’m thinking about it. The scene was set at night. When the blonde looked back at the dark haired girl, she revealed a knife. That was all I saw before I was caught and scolded to go to bed.

It’s been almost 20 years of me randomly remembering this memory of the anime and searching google but haven’t had any luck. I know this is a long shot but I came to this sub a few years ago trying to find an anime that wasn’t popular and premiered over a decade ago but someone knew exactly what it was. Totally understand if no one knows but thought I’d ask anyway.

I know how people feel about the app and I agree. The only thing I liked about it was it had secret chats for women to share their experiences and give advice to each other. Recently though, I’ve noticed the posts have been a little…off. Posts about being barely legal and dating an older man, questions about women’s bodily fluid/private areas in detail, or questions about being inexperienced but it’s framed in an overly sexual way.

At first I’d report the questionable posts then with the others I thought maybe these ladies were just strangely curious but then I’d see other posts with similar pervy wording. Or the way the questions were phrased triggered that ick whenever men try to be indirectly sexual to get you to participate in their fantasy. That’s when my spidey senses started tingling so I made a post sharing my concerns. Many of the replies shared they were also suspicious that this kind of thing was going on then all of the sudden my post was gone. I made a second post just with a question asking why it was removed and shared a screenshot of my original post. Guess what, that was removed not a minute later by Flo saying I “violated guidelines”. However, the pervy and questionable posts I reported are still up and active.

Not sure what can be done about this as I can’t prove it’s being infiltrated by creeps. Also, there are women on there that casually share that they read the chats with their boyfriends/husbands for entertainment so there’s that.

I've been making beats as a hobby for a couple years and have grown a small following by uploading on youtube. In the past 2 years I've gotten a lot people looking to purchase my beats which is cool. The problem is I have no idea how to sell my beats, what goes in to that (filing taxes etc), or ownership and stuff like that. I don't really see anything in detail about the steps to take, what to look out for, and what to have ready for buyers. Was hoping to get some insight on how to go about this?
