Those two black 3x3 corner low-slope pieces are not supposed to be loose in the
6497 box, they're supposed to be in one of the polybags. Were any bags already
open, taped or otherwise resealed? I'd say this is rather suspicious
considering those pieces are rather popular and not all that common. Maybe the
seller decided to lift the pieces he wanted and sell off the leftovers to
unsuspecting eBay bidders. Too bad if that is the case. You should try
calling Lego Consumer Affairs, and consider contacting the eBay seller to
inquire about this suspicious behavior.
