OP, What did the seller actually say about the item ie: are they denying all knowledge about the wear on it?? Could it be due to bad packaging and happened in transit to you??
Were there any pics in the ebay advert to that showed damage or not??
Did you pay via paypal with a CC??
I would speak to ebay and file SNAD.
Take photos too.
Good luck and sorry you've had this problem
