Since red phosphorus is a controlled substance and white phosphorus is quite dangerous, I'd be very surprised if you could find any kind of phosphorus on ebay.

I guess its because you did not look very well. :D

I have also seen it sold on amazon.

That seller will not ship to the USA, but seeing the OP is UK it probably isnt an issue.

I've bought red P solely on Ebay for years. (USA)

I keep hearing it isn't there any more, and then I go there and buy more anyway.
Last year it was 1/4 Lb from Poland.

I should probably pick up a pound or so before you guys end up being right at last.

(Could happen. Even a broken clock...)

The above link for redP from Germany has selection options up to 2.5kg,
I'm using chrome on win10 ... maybe smartphone apps do not give the same details ?

I have good experience with that seller S3. I purchased red P, HBr (48%), and CH3NH2.HCl from them. Decent prices, no hassle. If you are in the EU this certainly is an interesting seller.
