From my experience Ebay does not always ask for phone verification when opening an account nor for when you move on to a selling account. I have opened 3 accounts this week and was only asked for phone or credit card verification when I used a gmail email account to open the ebay account with. For what seems many years now (I have been doing ebay since the 90's) ebays policy has been that if you open an account with an anonymous email account they will ask for verification examples of anonymous email accounts are hotmail, gmail, yahoo. If you have a bigpond, optus or any email account from an ISP that you have to pay for chances are you will not have to verify the account when you open it.
