You are seriously going to risk buying something on Ebay that
* costs money
* may never arrive
* may not work at all
* may not create a workable PC
* will be difficult to get your money back if it doesnt work
in order to save €25 worth of memory that
* is sure to work
* is sure to create a workable PC
* supports your local economy
* you can get your money back for in case it doesnt work
?

Unless you like fiddling with this stuff, or unless you are a 
masochist, just buy a new stick of memory!

My €0,02
