Shouldn't take long to hit level 5.
EDIT: Not to mention, 80 characters is plenty for NPCs. 2 messages every 10 seconds is also plenty to do just about any interaction you need til level 5. Yeah, it sucks that we have to have a filter in the first place, but I was one of the people suggesting they implement something of this nature to combat the recent spammer we've had.
Level 5 comes quickly, and you don't actually -need- to interact with, well... anything in the EC tunnel to get there. If you're worried about selling stuff, you could either just bank it til 5, or wait for someone to auction WTB the item you have (Under level 5 is probably bone chips and pelts, so it happens often) and just /tell them.
