Chinese iPhone!

I bought an iPhone this week from eBay. Description said 100% UK stock, unlocked, no foreign copy, receipt of purchase will be included with phone. Seller has a feedback score of 442 and 100% and was based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Good price I thought, good seller and I bought said iPhone and paid by PayPal.
A PayPal receipt is sent to me and it's from China! It includes tracking information and is being sent from Beijing.
Now I'm worried, it's got to be dodgy and not the real deal.
If it turns up, I know if I go to PayPal and say it's counterfeit, they will wash their hands of it eventually and I'll be left with a useless phone.
I'm looking at a chargeback, because I pay PayPal with a credit card.
Has anyone done this and have any advice?

Ebay expect the seller to prove authenticity, so if it's a copy open a dispute with ebay & not paypal.0
