I only get the option to use Direct Deposit for payments.
If you're listing using the eBay 'sell your item' form, about 60% down you get to "Decide how you'd like to be paid'.
This gives you a variety of options -
Safer payment methods - at least one required
PayPal
Merchant Account - Credit Card
You can also nominate Paymate if you qualify, however only a mug would pay that way.
Other payment options
Escrow doesn't exist on eBay Australia.
The bottom line is you must offer a 'safe' payment method - Paypal, paymate or merchant CC facility. I don't believe you would not have the option of one of those. In fact, I don't believe you would be able to complete a listing without nominating one of those.
