So, do you have before pictures to show the condition that would justify a partial refund? I know you said you didn't take any but what do you have that could show you deserve a partial refund? I think one of the reasons a seller might give a partial refund is to avoid needing to take a return and issue a full refund. That's off the table so I am not sure why the seller would voluntarily hand back money when they know you have to keep the knife. Would ebay make them partially refund even though you admittedly can't prove the before condition and have altered the knife?

I'm having some trouble posting pictures, hopefully this link works
Edit: Never mind, I guess the link shows the images directly. That's cool.
These were some pictures I took quickly at work so they may not be the best and it was kind of hard to capture the scratches and scuffs on the liners in the right light and my phone had trouble with the zoom. I'm home now and can take some better pictures if needed. Here's the scratches on the blade that weren't disclosed. The single scratch is pretty deep and the smaller ones are from the blade rub. At this point, I'm passed getting any partial refund or anything.
Thanks, and absolutely not as described. I've been in a similar situation and asked for a partial refund and got one. Thing is, I was fully committed to returning the knife if my partial refund was not granted. I did not touch the knife until the situation was resolved, after which I cleaned it up nicely.
I realize you are not intending to return the knife and you don't expect a refund so this is just all sort of "for what it's worth" advice, not necessarily for you but for anyone reading this. If you are going to file a claim or ask for a partial refund or even are going to complain about the condition of a knife to others on the internet, do not touch it! Take lots of good photos. Then, start whatever process you are going to do (either return, partial refund, or warn other like you have done here). Essentially, get your ducks in a row before you do anything. Do not get in a huge back and forth with the seller. There really is no need if you paid reputably and know the rules of payment.
Your biggest problem is cleaning the knife up. You admit to doing it. The seller can say that the damage on the knife was caused by you. There is no harm in just waiting to fix something. Let whatever you are going to do about the issue with the seller play out, then fix what you want. Also, the seller offered a full refund, no? In cases like that, ebay will often side with the seller, including removing any negative feedback you leave. Thing is, you can't return the knife because you changed the condition. The seller has got you.
Last, photos, photos, photos! I almost stopped reading your thread when you said you wished you had taken photos. There is nothing more aggravating than a victim not doing simple things, like taking photos, to protect one's self.
Enjoy the knife, you earned it!
