I'm a beginner domainer with a few hundred domain names. Over the years, some of my domains may have been transferred a few times and now it appears some of them have REDACTED FOR PRIVACY in all of the lines on all Contacts. I just ran into a serious trouble because of this with One.com as explained here:

Second thing that happened was that I turned Privacy off on a domain I have with Fabulous days ago and when I check the Whois today, it shows only the following:
Organization: My First and Last Name
State / Province: It shows the correct state
Country: It shows the correct country
Everything else still says: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY
So here are my thoughts on this:
I should probably create a dedicated Email account for this and remove Privacy from all of my domains and put my real information on all of them. I mean - doesn't it make sense if I am trying to sell the domains to begin with? I know I will get a bunch of SPAM in that Email account but it will also make it easier for potential buyers to contact me, right?
I just have a bad feeling about this as if any of the other registrars give me just a fraction of trouble when removing Privacy/updating my Contact details on each and every domain, I will be in a real pickle!
Here are my questions about this:
1. Any thoughts on this? Is it better in my case NOT to have Whois Privacy at all?
2. When I change the Contact info, would the 60-day transfer lock always apply? I've heard some registrars now give the option to skip the 60-day hold? Which are these?
3. Is using a P.O. Box OK or would putting a real residential address be required?
