Cover creases are fine. If they're excessive, I'd think it would fall under the excessive wear category, but only if the cover was pretty badly damaged.
From the Help Center -
Cover:
- Must both be present (front and back)
- note that a paperback missing its front cover is usually an illegal, unsold copy
- "cover" does not = dust jacket. Hardcovers do not need to include their dust jackets to be swapped here.
- Cover not water damaged (there may be no water damage to any part of the book)
- Cover not torn or chewed/gnawed
- some used book stores cut out a small part of the cover; if the amount missing is less than 1 inch, this is OKAY
- a small rip (less than 1 inch) in the cover is OKAY
- yes, that does say "chewed/gnawed" above. That means no pet-chewed (or human-chewed) books.
- A bookplate inside the cover or on the flyleaf is OKAY
