So do I enter it as short sell, which I can't as it is a cash account?

I flipped SMDK within 30 minutes of trading by web site, no phone needed but account showed I shorted SMDK & just cleared up last nite. I don't know why etrade does this because we all know you can't short an IPO. It's shown up this way in every non-marginable security that I've traded. When you sell it your account shows you both long and short until the trade settles in three days. Why? Only God knows, just like everything else ETrade does.
