> so it took a few Amazon returns until I found the right one

This a pet peeve of mine. If you buy the wrong $2 part don't return it. If you don't eat the loss the seller will and the part will wind up in the landfill.

It's $7 part made of a tiny bit of metal.

If it was actually a $2 part, I'd agree with you. But it's enough that it's probably worth returning, especially since he had to try a few to get it right, and then he can return them all at once.

It's not his fault if it ends up in the landfill. That's on Amazon. Also, they have discount stores they ship returned stuff to before it hits the landfill.
