This is a pretty common problem within the 'loose' collecting community. One way to avoid this conundrum in the future is to pay close attention to the photos. When viewing a potential loose score on eBay, I utilize the zoom feature of my laptop touch-screen to closely inspect my nabs prior to committing to purchase **I buy many things out of the package - less for me to throw out** If the figure looks dusty, or unkempt, there's a good chance I'll pass opting to pay more for a figure that looks to be from a 'collector's' stash.

Here's a former thread on ideas to rid your toys of unwanted odors (pay particular attention to jabalong and Erland; they've provided the best suggestions IMO):
