Besides the forums, what some people will do is look at the listings of some traders in areas they would like to sell in. They show the name of the person listing the items, so you can email them and ask about an invite. Choose names that have lots of listings as those are the more active members, typically, so are more likely to respond faster.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
