I believe you've got a couple of things wrong in this statement:
1) eBay guarantee still applies since the price started above the limit, even if a best offer is accepted below it.
2) eBay guarantee on a slabbed card is to verify the slab is not cracked, not that the card is real or overgraded, and it will go to PSA for verification and the PSA person reviewing the sale will likely pass it and send it to the buyer.
3) After that, the recourse is to actually use the PSA grade guarantee as the buyer, and get PSA to confirm the card is counterfeit once you own it, then get reimbursed. PSA should not be able to claim mechanical error and get out of it, so this is where I expect the buyer would get their money back, in the case that they actually find out the card is fake.

So because of that, I highly recommend contacting eBay, the seller, or PSA, to have the card returned to PSA to be cracked out before it gets sold.

Thanks for the clarification.
Makes sense.
