For the US, 21 Day Holds are removed after 90 days. Not sure about Germany.

- What exactly is the benefit of aged accounts?

Money is released instantly, and listings go live immediately, again this is for US.

Do they simply seem a little less suspicious than new accounts when being reviewed or is there more to it?

In some cases, it depends.

F.e. my impression was that when you put an article in on a new account, a person from ebay actively reviews your account and decides whether your account seems suspicious, does this review simply not happen when you put an article in with an aged Account?

Partially Yes.

- Do Accounts age from the day they're created or after they're phone verified or only after you've linked a paypal? and does that paypal have to be verified?

The Ebay account begins aging the day you make it, It's always best to have the Paypal verified.

Bank Account:

- there is no mention whatsoever of using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank data. eBay Stealth says to create a bank account for every ebay/paypal account, no alternatives.

Why would you use phake bank info? unless you mean VBA (Virtual Bank Accounts). If you plan to use phake bank info you should stop and not continue at all. Your just going to make things worse.

For german Ebay it's been working quite without problems to simply enter ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank data (It has to look real, but it doesn't have to be real, which isn't very hard to accomplish). As long as ebay fees always get paid beforehand via paypal, there's never been a problem, in my experience. I surely see the benefit of using a real bank account, mostly so you can also verify Paypal. I do not know how this works for other ebay sites, but if using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank data is possible or not and if yes, the pros and cons should be mentioned, I think.

This is best answered by other German Users but as I said, it's best to use a real bank if possible but I don't sell on DE ebay.
