Unfortunately being in the States I cannot help with a direct answer.

My general suggestions apply no matter where you do business:

1. Ebay parts are crap. Suppliers on large online public marketplaces have little incentive to provide high quality parts. They also face very few real-world or long term consequences for deliberate false advertising. The eBay seller who sold you "OEM" sold you a fake. Its that simple. They will continue selling hundreds of these screens until enough users complain and their account get shut down. They will then lose money equivalent to a only couple dozen screens due to charge backs and Paypal disputes. They will then open a new account within 24 hours - rinse and repeat. Ebay sellers can only practically compete by lowering costs, which means cheaper (read: lower quality) parts and close to zero staff. Real staff is required for real customer service.

2. Amazon parts are crap which come with better customer service

3. Find a vendor that requires you to register an account and login before they will display pricing or allow you to make purchases. These are wholesalers that service BUSINESSES and are competing to meet your BUSINESS needs. They serve you better by not wasting their resources dealing with every hobbyist wanting to make a one-time purchase of a single part. A true wholesaler will have a sales representative you can reliably contact by phone or email.

4. Choose vendors that offer lifetime or at least 1 year warranties on their parts. This will not seem important in the beginning when you are buying just 1-2 parts for 1-2 customers. But what happens when your customer returns in 31 days with a mint condition screen which suddenly has gone black, or touch has started to fail? "Sorry Miss/Sir, your outside the 30 day warranty period by 1 day. I can't help." Later on when you are busier and you buy screens 10 at a time or 50 at a time, there will be that ONE piece that somehow has sat on the shelf for 10 months never having been used. If you bough that part in January and you discover its defective in December, you are still going to want to send it back.

5. Find a vendor that can offer multiple grades of the same part. My preferred iPhone parts vendors in the US sell 3-5 different grades of the same model screen. So in a market where the Apple Store charges $149 (USD) to fix a screen, I can choose to buy a $25, $35, $60, or $99 part to perform the same job. Which part I buy depends on my specific market and customer. If my customer wants to save $10 vs Apple, I can use the $99 (usually refurbished OEM) part, promise a repair that is %#*@ near just as good as Apple, then charge the customer $139. If the customer is more cost conscious, I can explain how some aftermarket screens will be have lower brightness, less accurate colors, then buy the $60 screen and charge under $100 to my customer. If the customer absolutely will not go above a $70 budget, I could set their quality expectations very low and use the $25 part. In using a vendor that offers many options, you will eventually learn what quality you can get for your money.

PS. Make sure your mailing address for your repair business is publicly available. Many large vendors here in the states advertise to prospective business customer by sending out post cards to every repair business they can find in a Google search. Honestly, most of them not worth your time, but I have found one or two good vendors just by checking my mail.

@burb not a good question to ask in here since we really can not give you an objective answer. On this forum you find a bunch of volunteers that give advice on repairs. Even so we have a lot of professionals with their own shop on here, on this forum they function as excellent advisors but not as sales reps etc. When it comes to parts etc. (other than iFixit parts being the best ) the best place to ask would be with the pro's on here http://pro.ifixit.com/
