I would disagree with this part. I think the seller is responsible for exactly that.

That is why ebay offers a full refund to a buyer if an item is lost in the post and never delivered. And that money will come out of the seller's coffers.

It is why the other online sales sites will refund too if items are not delivered or if there is proof the item is faulty.

Probably our difference only arises from the definition of 'delivered safely'.

In my view, wayneen's item was delivered safely. It was delivered to his address, there is tracking proof of delivery.

This is all the seller or Auspost is accountable for. If someone comes along after delivery of an item and steals it from the front door or whatever, that is the buyer's loss unless there had been explicit instructions otherwise.
