Bought item arrived contaminated

Bought a PC CD video game, inside packaging bubble wrap has extremely strong smell of urine, presumably animal in nature.

Don't know what possessed me to open it further but there's also wet spots on the inside, which again I'm sure is piss. Didn't check game contents as it reeks so bad the smell filled up the room in seconds and needed airing for ~2h to clear.

My issue is Vinted doesn't want to give me a full refund including postage costs and seller is no communication before and after, he just accepted return and I have to pay for it.

Mistake or not I don't see why I have to pay for a return and not get 100% of my money back given It's not my issue.

What options do I have for a full refund, I'm keeping the game and packaging outside but initiated a return, will not post until last day/days after I've had some advice.

LGA 1150 how to remove cooler hardware

beQuiet Pure Rock 1 cooler, want to replace it with Royal Pretor Ultra but can't get the backplate stubs with spacers out, they just spin freely. One came out but I don't know how I did it as it was still attached to the cooler. Spacer attached just for reference. Did try to attach cooler again to remove the rest but it just spins or tightens, unless I have to pull or something at the same time.

Can't remove spacers with the hardware still attached, even if I could think it would just spin and maybe scratch the PCB instead.

Columbia Sportswear Merino socks

No longer bifl, or well as long as bifl socks can be. Got 3+ years of wear out of previous socks, new ones in same model, different colour just went to crap after one wear and one wash. Shrank significantly, feel stiff, difficult to put on and get off, washed on same settings and using same detergent as old ones, yes it might be 40 or 60 degrees instead of 30 like on the label but still 100£+ down the drain for single use socks.

Green ones are old, still as easy to wear as day when bought, and it's not like they're worn out completely, just some pairs probably used more than others and either heel worn out or holes where the toes go, or slightly above. Columbia refused warranty for improper washing, maybe I'm a tosser but still don't like it.
