My first eBay problem :(

OK, reading further.

He says it's a 4Gb kit. He's wrong.

He says 100% tested - Well if he tested it, he'd know it's not a 4Gb kit but a 1Gb kit so he's either telling porkies or misleading on purpose.

I'd contact him (always use eBay mail) to explain that the auction is incorrect, that a simple google for the part number will indicate that the memory sticks are in fact 256Mb each making a total of 1024Mb, hence the part code.

I'd then contact eBay to try and cancel the bid with the reason that the auction details are incorrect and misleading and that you will not be paying for it.

Then it's down to them. If it comes to feedback then at worst he gives you negative and you get a chance to respond to that - If his writing style is as you describe then expect an "DID NOT PAY, OMG DNT TRUST HIM, SCAMMER!!!!!!!" type comment then you can put a nice intelligent comment to explain why. You also get a chance to leave him nice negative feedback which if you word correctly, he'll have no comeback for as well.

But from the item description providing you get eBay involved then I don't think it'll go that far.

I'd seriously suggest not paying for it though. He doesn't offer Paypal so you have no buyer protection through that method.
