eBay asks for a phone number at signup, and again if it flags a login or listing as unusual — common for anyone opening a second seller account, testing an integration against eBay's API, or reselling without wanting buyers or eBay itself to have their personal number.
1. Rent a number for eBay — an instant rental covers the standard verification.
2. On eBay's phone-verification prompt, enter the rented number with its country code.
3. eBay texts a verification code within seconds on a working number.
4. Enter the code from your rental's status page to finish verifying.
Instant is enough for a one-time check. A monthly rental makes more sense for an active seller account eBay might re-verify later.
