Excellent used condition item arrived, it's manky but washable.

[notso]

Is it worth the hassle of complaining or shall I just bung it in the wash?

Complain first and see what they say first before washing it - once you have washed it you could say that you have accepted it.

It is part of the ebay terms that items are sent out clean - pretty foul to send something out dirty I reckon.

Thanks fergoose it's a footmuff and covered in hair, crumbs and what looks like dried bogies .

Have taken photos and messaged him.

Jeez, that sounds really revolting! Would definitely complain.
