eBay Software Engineer - Front End interview questions

Got HR call through an open event conducted at the company. HR said the interview would be 90 mins and a virtual white board where there would be coding involved. The interviewer calls and asks basic questions regarding HTML (??) , JavaScript. I offer to show him some code samples of mine online but he refuses saying coding is only during in person interview( the HR said this interview will be particularly coding). It was like they were asking questions from some question bank. He hangs up after 30 mins saying someone will be calling me soon. I think its the HR but no, another interviewer calls me. He speaks almost the same way. Nothing about the company or what they do. He sees my code sample and asks me what use is of this. Both of them were using speakerphone so was very low (though the first interviewer rectified it midway). Later HR calls me and says I am not selected. That was expected.
