I purchased an item on Ebay advertised with ebay as the selling source 

I paid  money in trust, that trust was killed.

How a company can conduct bussines this way and keep going

Selling hand defective items and getting away with it.

What has this got to do with a question asked in 2014?

And why have you not opened the appropriate dispute?

eBay does not sell anything, you buy from sellers who list their items on eBay

If you got a 'hand defective item' you open a dispute and get your money back

Easy

You do not need to contact eBay to open a dispute 

YOU have ALL the power, use it

Rather than blame 'eBay' when you clearly have no clue of the most basic aspects of buying
