Lathe Tool Grinding Helper

DRO arrived today - one week from the order date.  The original confirmation from eBay stated that the item would ship from China and the ETA would be 23 January, which sounded reasonable to me.  One of the two packages had obviously been opened and re-taped.  Because of that and the early delivery, I suspected that I was getting some else's return <sigh>.

And so it seems since the "Y" axis display doesn't function.  I swapped the connector for the "Y" scale to the "X" input on the display cabinet and still no reading.  That seems to indicate that the scale is disfunctional and not the circuits within the display cabinet, right ?  Should I just ask for a scale replacement or ask for the entire rig to be replaced ?

I suppose the thing shipped from a local distributor for the Chinese manufacturer.  I' did the eBay return thing and hope for the best.  Anyone else ever returned something purchased from eBay ?  Was the process a reasonable one or did you have to fight for a refund or replacement, LOL ?

Weather is cold and rainy so all in all, it's not a major setback, I may have been too lazy to work anyway.

Edited to add:  Just received an e-mail from the seller, he asked for a photo.  Wow, that was a quick response to my complaint and sounds promising !
