Well, actually there IS a paper option. One can go to an Australian
Embassy and get the visa the old fashioned way!

Not from the US, but from Europe. No problem whatsoever. To be on the safe side, I noted down the information from the website (http://www.eta.immi.gov.au/. Not that it is any kind of 'proof', but anyway. You can also *check* your ETA on the website. As far as a paper option: I think an embassy etc. will just do the same. They might give you a printout, but that will be equally useless (as the information/printouts from the website). I don't think they make/put a note/sticker in your passport like they used to do. If you haven't already done so, also see the FAQs on the site. Perhaps this one puts your mind at ease (i.e. the airline won't let you fly unless *they* are satisfied): 6. How does the airline know I have a visa to travel to Australia? Airlines have access to the ETA database through their reservation systems. They will make an enquiry to determine your visa status when you check in for your flight. |

Well let us nit pick shall we? There IS a paper option for an
Australian visitor visa-----which is what I referred to. Obviously there is no peper option for an ETA.
