To leave a 1 star review (Vinted)

Bought an item - admittedly very cheap. When it arrived it had lots of marks on fabric, stitching coming away etc. I double checked the original sale post in case I’d missed photos/description of the defects, but no. Seller agreed my request for a return but I’m not happy about paying for return postage if it’s not my fault. Seller won’t agree and thinks I’m being over the top and that it’s second hand so I should expect wear and tear.
My argument is that if I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have bought it in the first place so why should I be out of pocket? It clearly says on the app when you list the condition of an item to include photos of any faults.
So AIBU to keep the item, put it in the clothes charity bin and leave a 1 star review instead of paying to send it back?
YABU - pay the postage and move on
YANBU - keep it and leave a 1 star review (and no doubt get a 1 star review in return 🙄)

YANBU. Some sellers really do have no shame. Doesn't matter if the item was just £1, all defects should be described. I'd leave a 1 star review myself as I don't place too much importance on being 5/5, I'm currently at 4.9 as the Evri terminal near me was banjaxed for a few days so couldn't send the item in a timely manner. Hasn't affected my sales in the slightest.

So I cancelled the return, accepted the item and left a simple one star review just saying it wasn’t as described - they’ve left me a one star review in return saying that I failed to return the item?! 🤦🏻‍♀️
I’ve just responded to that saying that’s incorrect because I’ve actually accepted the item despite the defects due to return postage costing more than the item.
