I, buyer Apple watch returned it; seller unlocked it; now technical fault can I get refund scratched

I bought an Apple watch, but had to return it for seller to unlocked it from their account . 

Seller unlocked it, than returned it. This was in August 2020, it was fine. 

I have scratched the screen, so its now not perfect.

However, now a technical issue, the screen now blacks-out constantly; Apple can't do anything, can I return it for a refund?

Doubt seller could sell with technical fault and now damaged screen.

What are my legal rights please as a buyer?

Ebay and PayPal can legally only assist with items which you can see are faulty, damaged, or not as described on receipt. They can't help with items which develop faults in use.

And as you appear to have bought this as 'used' from a private seller, you have no legal recourse either. When you buy used goods from private sellers, that's a risk you take.  But if I've misunderstood, and you bought this from a business seller, go to the CAB's website for advice. Not sure how far you'll get, though, due to the damage you caused to the screen.
