It looks really sick, mabey you can get them to give it to you. Or for a reduced price.Let them know that you have experience with tortoies and you can get it proper care. Poor little thing...:(

It's impossible to tell the health condition of this tortoise by the photo. It's clearly not a very good photo. And a single photo should not be used to judge the condition of the tortoise. I would ask for more photos (better focused ones would help).

What species of "African tortoise" is this supposed to be? I think I would find out a lot more information before deciding whether or not to purchase the tortoise.

I would want more information and pictures myself. I am thinking I am seeing a poor picture, not a poor tortoise.

I do not think veterinarians are equipped to deal with grainy and low-resolution tortoises.

:D Good thing it's a rare condition.

Yeah, I'd ask the seller to provide more info, like age, species, and a better photo, and see what you end up with.
