In Australia, guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law also apply to sales made on eBay (if the listing is not an auction and the seller is not an individual/private seller).

Yep, pay for it on your credit card. Instant protection, if not a bit of a hassle to claim on. You might piss eBay off though, but you can always use it as a threat when talking to customer service (not the first level, you'd need to elevate it to beyond the "no sorry sir" droids.)

For those in Australia, chargebacks also apply to debit cards (i.e.: Your normal, every-day bank cards without a credit facility, but operate on the same networks as Visa, Mastercard, Amex etc...).
Most banks will still process chargebacks on goods not received or "as described" even on accounts where you don't pay any fees (which are most personal bank accounts without a credit facility).
