There's a Microserver Wiki which details those RAM kits that are 16GB compatible, amongst other things.
No, I wouldn't buy from ebay, just not worth the risk unless someone can say for sure they were able to claim their cashback after buying from this company. It has to be a *certified* HP re-seller selling UK-sourced stock to qualify for the HP cashback scheme, so you have to be very careful who you buy from. More than a few people have purchased Microservers only to discover their cashback claim is refused as the seller doesn't qualify.
Threads like this one often contain information on the latest deals and also which resellers qualify (or don't qualify) for the cashback scheme. Just because they're a UK retailer doesn't mean they qualify, and you could end up £100 out of pocket. CCL, for instance, do not qualify (presumably because they're not a certified HP retailer, or their stock is not UK sourced), whereas box.co.uk do qualify.
I don't know where you live, but assuming you are not in the UK then I don't think you will qualify for the cashback either. Full HP cashback terms & conditions here (pdf).

From what I read of the HP cashback scheme, as long as it is a UK seller it qualifies but I'd prefer a second opinion before I take the plunge (I'm only considering this over Ebuyer who have the same price because they still have some instock)
