It's unlikely eBay will do a fraud investigation and even if they do then they won't tell anyone except the seller and that will only be after the investigation is complete.

It could be natural pigmentation, mild sunburn or edemas, though the latter is more common in cooler/wetter weather. Without a picture, it's hard to tell. Can you upload a picture here or on an image...

I'm glad you've advertised your product here. If you hadn't then I probably would have never heard of it and wouldn't have been able to benefit from its use.

Another Sediera japonica!

I was without japonica flowers last year but not 2019!
I kept it quite dry and cool (under 60 average temp) for most of winter which seems to have done the trick!
