You might be able straighten it out in the vice, or using a block of wood at each end and a clamp at the bend point to gradually pull it back into shape. I’ve done that with an old bevel-edge chisel and with a Groves backsaw, but not tried it on a mortice chisel.
Maybe you could return it as Ed says but a lot of Ebay sellers say that “what you see is what you get” so they might refuse to refund even if their photos might have omitted to show the damage.
