Were your messages after you won or before?
If before, they may have responded but it would have been blocked. ebay won't allow any contact details to be shared unless you have completed a transaction with someone. Very annoying in these situations.
You can also contact ebay and request the sellers phone number on the basis that they haven't responded to messages.
Even if you pay them they can ignore you.
If you were unsure of the condition then inspecting them before bidding or clarifying with the seller is usually the way this works. If you bid and win on incomplete information...well that's your bad, or a calculated gamble that's priced in. Sounds like it is.
