    Is the warranty officially transferable, or have the repairers assumed you are the original purchaser?
    If not you have to wait until the manufacturer/repairer decides, out of goodwill, that he is willing to replace it. No harm in asking though, except of course that the repairer may be alerted to an invalid warranty claim.

    You could ask the ebayer you bought it from what he is going to do about it.
