Where the ends separated.? If not This may have caused the 3 phase wire to short.

I've fitted more than 100 of these and only had about 3 faulty on first fit and only 2 or 3 actually fail in use within the warranty period.

If your sure you didn't cock up then It's unacceptable and Ebay will act if you contact them but don't go showing them those Pics. It wasn't wise thing to do stripping the VFD and breaking the warrenty seal.
However in all my dealings (lots) with the Chinese they never ask for damaged or faulty goods to be returned but keep stum don't tell you stripped it.
