I used really cheap thread for projects for years before I realized that the problem wasn't me but my thread. Once I started buying what I knew the art of the craft deserved---maybe not the top of the line, but adequate, not bargain basement stuff, sewing and quilting started getting easier.
If you can't get satisfaction from the seller or e-bay, just chalk it up to experience, and forge ahead with new fabric that you can see and feel before buying. Please don't let this deter you from doing something rewarding.
