eBay wants item destroyed/disposed prior to ruling

Is it normal eBay is asking me to destroy and dispose of an item (counterfeit item in a MBG case) before a ruling has been made or a refund given? This request was sent within a few hours of me asking them to step in after no seller response.

Does this mean they have/will rule in my favour and refund? As it puts me in a difficult position if they want further info or opinion on the item.

Stawks no problem getting it in (unlike rodent seeds my parcel was legal to import) just it turned out to be a reproduction/fake item.
