I don't think you have to be 10 years old to appreciate a present on your birthday. Do you know women?
Didnt you say that your wife went to collect the damaged one? but now you are worried because you cant get the new one for her birthday?

Looking at the pics, your wife must have not even looked at the item when she collected. and surely she must have looked because of the noted damage to the base? So she checked the item but didnt see the massive scratches?
I dunno....i dont know which side ebay will take. best of luck to you though. I automatically side with you because of the seller using their professions as proof of honesty lol.
