Simple return or file a NAD with ebay.

Edit to add:

Link to seller please and add a negative review with those exact same pics.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Appears not to be the same coin--at a minimum given the presence/absence of ticks and dings in the photos. Denticles seem to vary as well from one pair of photos to the next.

Would love to have a link to the seller. Wonder what the seller may have said about stock photos--if anything.

The one received is an obvious counterfeit & clearly not the same coin. although the "seller" pics are heavily doctored & look to be stolen from another poorly reviewed ebayer.

Agree the one you received is a counterfeit and not the coin advertised. But even the seller's photos show a heavily photoshopped AU coin at best.

OK, so you bought one of the listed 1884-S Morgans from a (obviously bad...) seller with 3 left and 6 sold? Maybe you can pronounce the seller's name...

1884-S-Morgan-Dollar.-Another-Ebay-Scammer

Looks like there were a couple to chose from:

1884-S-Morgan-Dollar.-Another-Ebay-Scammer

I actually get tired of reporting these counterfeit sellers using other's images to sell their fakes...

Too good to be true with those prices. Tourist pieces from Hong Kong.

You are buying a 90% silver Morgan under the melt value on ebay from Hong Kong. That should put up a red flag that you are most likely going to get a cheap none silver counterfeit example. As noted above return to seller for refund. If you ask the seller to pay for return shipping on the counterfeit, the seller will most likely refund your money and will let you keep the coin.
