To me it would be like a used car dealership selling you a car with an empty gas tank and telling you gasoline is an "accessory" and absolutely none is included...
That is not the same thing. At least not based on what you described in the listing. I highly doubt the listing stated "no accessories because absolutely none are needed"... But that is only one point.
When it comes to a used car, there is no "standard" amount of gas that it must come with when sold. I mean, do you expect a full tank? A half a tank? One gallon just to get you to the nearest gas station? Regardless of what amount you get it with, it was simply done as a courtesy by the dealer.
The other part in your original post that works against your claim, is the part where you yourself have already accepted responsibility for "assuming that the charger would come with it". This implies knowledge of a possibility that it did not come with one.
Just an FYI, I am posting as someone who has in fact bought a laptop off of eBay, and before bidding on it, I messaged the seller to ask "besides the laptop itself, what else comes with purchase". Her reply was "battery is built in an is included, but that is all I have for it". So when I won the bid, I went online and ordered an AC adapter which arrived a couple of days after the laptop.
Lastly, the only thing that could work in your favor is if the seller had posted a picture of the laptop showing any of these additional items that you would consider essential, but ones that you did not receive.
