iPhone scuffed - not as described
Hi everyone, in a bit of a pickle! I did my research and got an iPhone from eBay. I paid within 6 hours of winning by PayPal and I have 100% feedback (134) and the seller had 100% (65) but with a neutral or two.

I bought a pair of leather sandals on Ebay described as BNWT but now that they have arrived I can see toe marks in the suede insole and the heels are scuffed.

Bought a fake item on eBay
Listed as genuine but definitely fake. I've checked it against a genuine one I have, plus looked online at other discrepancies. Do I report it to eBay or to Paypal? I remember reading on here that one of the two will make you return it, and the other one will make the buyer prove it is NOT a fake, which of course suits me…
