So in the dispute, look what this dude has the balls to post:

Had I been contacted regarding the items in question before the buyer proceeded with installation, the issue would not be in question. The parts were listed as original OEM Dell parts and were purchased from Dell direct. The parts include the original OEM LCD panel, LCD bezel, and original top cover for a Inspiron 6400/E1505 laptop. This is how the auction was described and that is what the buyer received. The auction was not advertised as providing aftermarket or "upgrade" parts. The auction was however advertised as providing the original Dell parts that Dell would send you to repair your laptop. These parts require professional installation and must be handled with care, therefor the auction had a no return policy.

First I'm not trying to "upgrade" my screen. The screen that broke was a WXGA+ screen, so that's what I tried to replace it with. Second, why on earth does that matter anyway? I purchased what I thought was a WXGA+ screen, he sent me a WXGA screen, end of story.

BTW, here is a link to the auction in question. You can see right in the listing that not only did he describe the screen as "Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 LCD, LP154WP1 15.4' WXGA+" he linked to another auction that was specifically selling an LP154WP1 15.4' WXGA+ screen.

your screwed....

You are definitely in the right OP. Keep bugging the hell out of ebay and paypal and make sure you that you get this resolved.

So Paypal ruled in my favor. If I return the item I get the refund. I also left him negative feedback.

In other related news, I have a WXGA+ Dell laptop screen that I can't use. The motherboard broke and it's too old to bother with, but the screen is in practically mint condition.
