I've messaged the seller hoping to sort something out, I don't like the idea of a forced return process through eBay as I have sold stuff before without noticing an issue and would rather just have had a chat with the buyer and reached an amicable solution.

I just wouldn't bother myself.
Yep. Even if the fork is replaced, the frame could be weakened from that impact.
That's how my first Kinesis cracked.Also, I'm pretty sure you can't sell dangerous stuff second hand, ie. if you crashed this because the fork snapped, the seller is still liable as he sold it to you with a faulty fork. Something like that, no?

That is true ^ (Dogtemple)
but in my opinion, a fork isn't a consumable part of the bike, the frame and fork are the basis on which the bike is built and if everything needs replacing, I would expect the frame and fork to be sound. You could chalk it up to experience, and replace the fork fairly cheaply. I just wouldn't bother myself.
