I've only dealt with clean breaks myself, so I'm not really sure how to handle the chips. Maybe glue the main piece on first and let it cure. Then get the chips in place and glue them together one at a time or something?

Okay, I might give that I try. I messaged the seller asking if he would be alright with an attempted repair and £100 refund, but if it didn't work out I could just send it back. Waiting on a reply.

This also protects you by having a written record of your discussion saying exactly what condition a statue was in when it shipped, so if there is an argument about refund then ebay will have more evidence for your side.
I third on this, I've had a seller refuse to show me images of a statue direct (image was of the box only) and was instead told 'it's fine, you can see the statue on the box.' Needless to say I didn't bid despite it being my most saught after piece. Just gotta bite the bullet sometimes. Sorry to hear of your terrible experience
