Hard to say for sure without a few more photos, but it looks like just paint damage and maybe a bit of scratched resin. If you buy anything used it will likely have chips in the paint, if not you will be chipping it yourself soon. So it does not worry me.
Real carbon damage can be another worry.

I assume the price on this bike is low enough to want to deal with the condition issues. Do the tap test I described on any suspect carbon parts. If there is a break the sound will change. Instead of ringing, it will sound flatter. If there was carbon damage, that would also be a fairly easy straight forward repair.

Here's the

Maybe it's wiser to go with this
Macario I posted previously (around 930e listed), and sell the frame afterwards since it's too small for me. (I'm 185cm tall)
