Grr! A book I ordered that seller said was in Good Condition but failed to mention that the cover was badly ripped, the book hardcover has a rip corresponding wtih the rip from the cover, a huge crease down it and the book has a bent to it. While still readable, that is NOT in good condition. I still want to read it but I'm not happy about the sell, any advice. This was through Amazon Market.

I contacted the Amazon seller, described the damage, and she emailed saying she'd refund me, I replied that since I still want to read it, that she could refund me 2.54 of the 3.04 price and keep .50cents, she agreed. I think that's fair.

I had one that came from a supplier in terrible condition (spine was completely loose from the pages). They weren't able to replace it, but I was refunded the difference. If they hadn't done so, I would have gone through Amazon and complained there.

Yes, I try to deal with the seller before going through Amazon (unless it's something I got from Amazon and not marketplace).
Usually the sellers are pretty good with refunds and apologies.
