Money back guarantee/buyer protection for fake item from O/S?

[letscleanupmycupboards]

What's the deal? If an item advertised in a listing as original or genuine and confirmed by the seller as such (via a question to the seller) is purchased from overseas and is subsequently found to be a fake, am I covered completely 100% safe etc etc for this by either eBay/PayPal/credit card company (assuming a card is used to fund the purchase)? Will I need to pay up front to return the item or will the seller be required to cover return postage as is the case locally? Also does my postage cost that I paid originally get refunded as it does locally? In this case the postage is higher than normal (like a $120 postal charge and a $12 item) which is why I ask.

If the item is seized by customs as a fake (which happens) then am I still covered?

I'm a sticky beak  -  I'd like to know the item number.

$12 with $150 postage?
