Would you sell for the £212 you paid for it on eBay with the spok?

^Cheers @dvorkbod and @M_V - very helpful.
It appears that ebay only have the 'return item' option now where you will have to set out the gripe mentioning significantly not as described - I recall sometime back it did have 'not as described' as an option itself.
I spoke to ebay CS yesterday who advised to do a 'return item' and the seller can choose to give a 'partial refund' or 'full refund' after return of the item. If I do this, clearly the seller will opt for refund. This is another get out for sellers to have their item returned if it is sold undervalue.
The alternative option is to open a dispute via Paypal as it does have a 'not as described' option. I will not mention I want a partial refund (even though it suggests I put down how best I would like it to be resolved). See how it goes…

Need a little advice…
Bought a bike from ebay at a reasonably good price with Thomson finishing kit (seat post, stem). Seller stated in the ad that it would come without the Brooks saddle - no mention of keeping the seat post.
Bike arrives rightly without Brooks but the Thomson seat post is missing (replaced with a crappy Bontrager RL seat post). Conveniently the seller says the seat post failed so he did not include it and includes a usable replacement. There were many opportunities to mention the seat post apparently failing during our message exchange just after purchase and before shipping (over two weeks, 6 messages).
I'm happy with the bike per se but other minor problems (late posting time, said he had the bike for years but he also bought on ebay etc) and seat post issue makes me think seller is lying about it and just wants to keep. I messaged him through ebay about this, he's only willing to give a refund of the bike and for me to send back as I got a bargain! Reluctant to send back as I like the bike plus do not have the time waiting for courier to pickup etc.
In a bit of a pickle as I just want the seat post or failing that some money off (of course, I will return the replacement seat post).
Do I go to ebay dispute resolution or paypal? If I do mention the incorrect seat post do I have to accept a full refund and send the whole bike back? Is there an option where I can just ask for some money off? i.e. is it through ebay or Paypal disputes.
With thanks

Dibs please!

^this one I think…was thinking to bid and build a bumblebee also but odd pursuit geo made me think twice and then it was gone. Free bump.

I doubt you would be able to get a full BJ track bike for £300, probably F+F...

^Nice in raw. Good build.

^Seriously...
