Next they'll try to make the phone company responsible for any fraud made in a call.

Not such an absurd situation - if a phone company runs "premium calls number" which gives them big profit then if this is done irresponsibly without measures to prevent scams that cost people, then that phone company is likely to be liable. That said I am not sure what exactly Ebay can do in this case apart from maybe banning sales of products that are most likely to be faked, ie most expensive handbags etc.
