That was my first reaction, but nobody is that stupid surely, so 2nd reaction was that the bolt heads were rounded out and seller is being economical with the truth by just saying bars are stuck.
Aye, right.

I had a steel stem from my Sbike with a solid piece of aluminium stuck in and I managed to get that out eventually (with some help from the freezer). I'll message the seller and tell them if they send me it I'll remove the bar and send it back 
Tell them you'll remove the bar and send them the bar back, make them sign it and hope that they don't realise they just gifted you the stemI had a steel stem from my Sbike with a solid piece of aluminium stuck in and I managed to get that out eventually (with some help from the freezer).

I'm a generous guy. I'll even pay the shipping.
Both ways even. No bother.
That's shorter than the usual for a TrailStem. Yummy!

A lump hammer and a large vise is the best way forward with this problem"right side of handlebar has small hole drilled into the end by original owner"
roughly translated
"I tried and failed to turn the stuck bars by drilling a hole through the end and turning them with a rod"
