Default googlecheckout - how safe is it??

I don't want to discuss "googlecheckout", I know, there are a fiew thread about that.
My problem is, that I could have a quite good deal. The price is good, but not too good.
The seller wanted me to come and pay at collection, but so as I am located in Germany, it's not worth for me to fly to the uk to buy a cupple of products.
I offered him escrow payment, but he says, that he needs the money to buy the product on his own first.
So he asked me whether I would pay by "googlecheckout".
I couldn't find anything about a "buyer security"...
can anyone help me with that please?
what happens, if I get scammed, can I claim my money back??
what happens, if the products are not original and I want my money back and I do tell google that, but the seller says, he sold me originals?

thanks for your help guys

Pretty safe.

It's via Credit Card and you can also do a chargeback.

If I may ask, what are the products ?

Legit enough price if it's just the one.

Something doesn't make sence.

He wants you to pay on collection but then he also tells you he needs the money to buy them to sell to you?

We can supply you at a better price but you would have to buy a minimum of 25 units.
