Ebay posts my home address on every listing as public knowledge. Any way to stop this?

As I'm technically a business seller but not an actual business so the only address I have is my home address. As a business seller I have to legally have my business address as public knowledge on every listing to anyone who views any of my listings. 
Is there any way to change this or remove this or even just have it as my town/city?
I tried contacting ebay customer services but they just kept saying if I want to sell with ebay I have to have it listed as public knowledge

It's a requirement of  consumer law that a  business has contact details available to buyers before they buy.

I think you can have a registered address for contact. i.e. A solicitors P.O.Box. 

 

In honesty, I wouldn't worry about it. Only had 2 unwanted visitors from E-bay in 10 years, one was an astoundingly beautiful woman (twice as surprising considering what I sell), the other was a problem I have to admit. A guy returning items who stepped in to my house the second I opened the door. I bodily threw him back out again.
