It would be your business name. If you were Apple applying to sell iPhones on a site, Apple Inc. would be your Legal Entity.

It sounds like a situation where they assume you’re there on behalf of a business. If thats so, just put the business name. If it isn’t, write something like *John Doe (private seller).*

I’d guess that’s YOUR name – your full legal name, like what you file tax returns under. If you have a registered business (which it sounds like you dont) that’d be a place for your business name.
