considerable eBay expertise. This should resolve your immediate

If all else fails the law which protects you is the Consumer Rights
Act of 2015. Your contract is between the seller and you, eBay have
nothing it do with it (other than having a contractual agreement with
sellers to follow eBay rules.
Ultimately the legal responsibility for fixing the problem lies with
the retailer. If a product develops a fault within the first six
months after purchase, it’s assumed the fault has been present since
the time of purchase. This means it’s up to the retailer to prove it
wasn’t there when you bought it.
