Just to be clear, the OP stated clearly he is looking for items that could possibly be resold, not returned. Not the OP's fault that the thread has gone on a tangent

That was the impression I got. If it was me and I got them a month ago, I would have used them for Christmas shopping. No way would I have left it until the last minute. We're not talking a few bucks here.
I'd buy a phone. Probably from one of the many reliable sellers from China.-sheep.

So funny.
I would have used them for Xmas shopping too, but as you haven't, have a think of what you could get people for birthdays (or wedding/engagement gifts) and then buy from aussie sellers. There are a lot of things you could get, but I would stick with things non electronic.
I find it odd you can't combine vouchers-what do you do if you buy something at eg $80? What happens to the left over money on the voucher?

What about something from say Dicksmith's ebay store? Should i buy something from them and then return the items within 14 days to receive a refund?
If I know eBay even half as well as I think I do, that won't work.
Their vouchers don't have any cash value (otherwise they would have just credited your account with $400 and you could have requested a cash refund). When they provide vouchers, one of their general conditions is that you only get refunded what you personally contributed financially if the items are returned / refunded. If the purchase is funded entirely by vouchers, your refund from Dick Smith would amount to $0, making it a pointless exercise and a waste. ๐
All you really need to do is think of 4 x $100 items that tend to retain value even if secondhand, if you want to convert them to as much cash as you can (don't forget if you resell on eBay, you'll be charged a 9.9% FVF on both sale price and postage, so go for lighter weight items).

Usually a customer gets refunded by the same payment method they paid for the item with. Retailers don't refund in cash for items bought with gift cards, vouchers etc.
