I think the camera should be ok. It might just not recognise the shutter is open.

Here is some advice for you for what it is worth:
You have bought some goods which were patently not as described to you by the Seller. Can can show this by pictures of what you received compared to the pictures he displayed. You have an absolute legal right (irrespective of eBay) to demand your money back immediatley (you have 14 days to do it). You should do NOTHING to the phone. Leave it as you received it.You should do so in WRITING by Recorded delivery. You should state that the goods are NOT of MERCHANTABLE QUALITY. This will preserve your legal rights and enable you to make a claim in the Small Claims Court if he ignores your demand. If he does a lot of selling he will know all about this. You can state all of this to eBay and put it against his record on there. He will not want this. If he is not a rogue he should return your money. If he is and he has money your small claim (which costs very little to do) should succeed. If he is a rogue with no moeny then not have lost you money. All you can do is make sure that eBay never let him trade again.
This is not a full legal answer but I hope it helps in some way. Good luck.

Sounds like it may work OK if you change the housing and put one one with a working shutter, that may be all the fault is.
The number of times I've bought a phone and it's been worse than I thought - like buying a phone with a broken screen, fixing it only to find it's blocked or trying to fix it and found something like the connectors for the screen are knackered I've lost count of!
It's a bit of a gamble buying faulty phones, sometimes you're up and you can fix the problem without any extra cost, sometimes you're down and the phone is broken. Thing is, you can't prove or disprove whether someone is aware of other faults. They may well have tried to fix a phone, found it's blocked, so they simply put the broken screen back on and re-sell it saying 'untested' or something.
Feel sorry for you mate! Does the phone work OK otherwise - dialling in/out, etc.?

the item is listed as the camera not working, this could be for any reason, you assumed that this would be fixable although it turns out it is not! (and the first thing you do is go crying). The phone may not be in the condition described however you are still stupid for buying the phone imo.

Thanks 4 that advice mate but over the xmas time i cant be bothered with all the hassle. So i will bite the bullet and get a w800 housing, flash to w800 firmware. And hope that the camera is sorted after that. In fact the housing is getting bought just now. I will let u know how i get on . (and do me a favour,cross ur fingers and toes 4 me)

I wish you best of luck
I once ordered a full W800 casing with buttons, screwdrivers and everything from that exact seller. Had mail correspondance with him before purchace, payed through paypal and mailed him receipt for payment, never heard anything from him again, and never received any housing or anything. Mailed him 5 times afterwards and never received an answer. Nothing.
It was my first ebay purchace ever, and it will certainly be my last.
IMHO ebay is one of the biggest scam places on earth.

The guy accepts western union for payment
I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Ebay are currently telling people not to use western union for payments as they can not trace payments if anything goes wrong, ie, there is no paper trail.
