https://www.ebay.com/itm/203519104466Fecking eBay muppets. Bought a digitizer to repair my laptop after it was brutally assaulted by Johnny the
Tackling Alzheimer's Patient Randomly Leaping Xylophone (long story, and Johnny belongs to SWMBO so no way to win on that one); whole screen assemblies were in the neighborhood of $150 by the time they get to me, so when the guy accepted my $50 offer, I thought I'd gotten lucky.

Now the cynic in me wants to say the guy deliberately took the listing photos such that it obscured the damage... but I don't wanna be
that guy anymore; I wanna keep the generally good feeling of
DILLIGAF...? I've cultivated since moving to the GWN dropped my internal stress level by 20-40dB.

Under any circumstances, this was very prominent damage and must've been visible from the front of the thing before he even took it apart to scrape the digitizer off of the cracked LCD; so I was really dreading the return process and trying to get my money/shipping/duty, etc back.

Fortunatley, eBay.ca has a customer support link to have someone call you; which I did, and they started the "dispute resolution" process I've long associated with eBay. Depending on the response from the seller, I should just have to post some pics I already have to get my money back.
Oh, and y'all would be proud of me... I didn't go all
rabid dwagon nor nuttin'; just simple & sweet as sugar in my request:
"This part was listed as "used" from a working laptop. It is "damaged". There is a very prominent gouge in the digitizer film right in the middle of the screen. I cannot use this part, and quite frankly it never should have been put up for sale."mnem
