Wait the appropriate amount of time before you file your eBay dispute. EBay requires buyers to wait a minimum of 3 days after the estimated delivery date before they can file a dispute for not receiving an item. If there was no estimated delivery date, you can file a dispute on eBay 7 days after you paid in full. The system will not allow you to initiate a dispute on eBay prior to this. The only exception to this is if the seller's account is closed or suspended before the appropriate time period has lapsed, in which case you can file immediately. If your dispute on eBay is over receiving an item different than the item you paid for, you can file as soon as the item is received. Regardless of why you are filing, you must open your dispute on eBay within 45 days of the end of the auction or you will be barred from initiating a claim.

btw.. you shouldn't care if it was shipping or seller fault.
You paid for a working object and you haven't received it.

Use the eBay buyers protection and get your money back.

EDIT:NVM o.o

pretty much the same, dont you think?

not even a hammer could dammage a gameboy screen that way.

It is surelly seller's fault.

edit: and btw who cares..  let's try a refound!

It cant be shipping fault, trust me.

LOL! If the LCD was already stressed from the pressure of the backlight between the case and LCD then it would only take a small knock to crack the LCD.

"It can be a shipping fault, trust me. I'm from the internet."

I'm going to use this as the silver bullet dispute ender from now on. "It can't be XXX, trust me"

Open an ebay dispute and return the item to the seller for a complete refound.
