I'm not really familiar with eBay's practices, but what happens if the product is counterfeit but advertised as original?

  Unfortunately, getting money back after receiving a counterfeit from eBay is not trivial. A third party authenticator must be paid by the buyer to fax a thorough formal document for PayPal to review. The process can be long and expensive. Even then, it's not guaranteed that the buyer will receive their money back as a result. Buying and selling designer items through auction sites such as eBay is fraught with risk. Mind you, a seller of authentic items can get hit with a fake claim as well.

    This wasn't the case for me last month, I bought a guitar pedal that turned out to be a fake, I filed the complaint and sent in evidence, received a full refund from eBay/Paypal.

      Not all eBay cases have the same outcome. There are even online sites dedicated to putting together counterfeit claim documents for Chanel, Hermes, etc for eBay. They usually charge around $100 for a document.
