Open an eBay return and select the 'doesn't match description or photos' reason:
You can leave appropriate feedback to warn others.

You open a case for item not as described, this is all the report eBay need.
You have received an item not as described, go right of the item in your Purchase History and from More Actions select... Return this item selecting the reason Item Does Not Match Description or Photos.
The seller needs to accept this case within 3 days and refund, if they want their item back first , they need to pay for that fully tracked return postage, then on receipt of their item they have 48 hours to refund you. If they don't , need to escalate the case, ask eBay to step in, and they'll force the refund.
Never listen to any excuse or promise from the seller to close the case early, and do not forget to escalate.

If leaving negative feedback, keep it brief. Saying the wrong thing and seller can get it removed.
Avoid using words Ebay, Fake, Return, Opened case. Just say Unsatisfactory Transaction, and mark down the Star Ratings.
You should read sellers feedback before buying, their star ratings are well below the minimum of 4.7 expected by ebay, plus several negatives and neutrals.
