Yep, most of the ebay jobbies are woeful in their claimed wattage. Good Luck getting any satisfaction from the seller, hopefully they will give you a refund or a decent explanation. I'd check it out first and see if you are happy with the output. My 400 watt (claimed, 269 watt actual) bar, will singe the fleas off a roos gonads from a few hundred metres, so it's bright enough for me. Too bright actually if any road signs are around. This time around with the Patrol, I think I'll be going a set of Fyrlyt 9000 250watt halogens. The led bars are pretty harsh on the eyes over long distances.
