Am I Being Unreasonable?

OK - I've seen a few of these on here before, and have finally come up with a situation where I need a sanity check.

A few weeks ago I purchase a 1943 MP&Co strip from an eBay seller. Here is the link:

The strip arrived in a FedEx envelope - no cardboard backing or protection. But here's the kicker - someone FOLDED the strip (badly, I might add, so that the strip is almost separated down the middle and one of the middle cards has been creased multiple times).

I have emailed the seller twice, and have received two replies. As best I can tell, the Seller is claiming either that it was already folded when they listed it, or that I should have expected it to be folded since how else would it fit in a FedEx envelope. But that either way it is worth more than I paid and I should be happy.

Needless to say, the Seller has refused to give me any credit or adjustment. It is still worth what I paid, and I want it for my collection. So I am keeping it, but .......

Would you agree that I should give this Seller a bad feedback?
