trying to buy something, from australia, we live in Australia, free post, we only buy a few things from ebay. Why dont we meet their criteria?
One of the auto-blocks that sellers can make is that if a buyer with under 10 feedback is not phone verified they are unable to bid or buy from them, I suspect this might be the case for you.
You can also contact the seller and ask them to add you to their exemption list so that you can buy from them, but in the long run, if it's the phone verification that's a problem then it would be easier to just get verified.
