replacing inverter on Prius 2004

Hi,

The inverter of my prius is damaged, as per Toyota, and need to be replaced.

Supposedly because the battery was charged with wrong polarity. I towed it to the shop when my car did not start, and the fuse was blew up at the time. They replaced both fuse and battery. About 24h later, my car was not working fine and I brought it back; they then told me the inverter was to be replaced.

Does the story makes sense ? it would imply somebody in my family charged with wrong polarity and did not tell me... hum hum...

Anyway, if I buy the part on eBay, is it reasonnable for me to do it myself ? what documentation would I need, and approximate labor time ?

Thanks !
