This has happened to me several times via my website.
What American Express told me years ago was that a buyer has 9 freaking months to dispute a charge and that as a seller I need to be aware of that.
There is no protection for an online seller of goods when someone pays by CC. There are all sorts of consumer protection laws on the books but not one for the seller. American Express suggested that I band together with other merchants to propose some legislation.. Ya, right.....
Ironic how times have changed from buyer beware to seller beware..

and yes, ebay can be safe but this seller has perfect feedback and it was not safe for him. A seller almost has to look at every buyer after the auction and decide whether to send the item or not.
Paypal and ebay are wrong here, and this makes ebay unsafe.
