Misleading auction

I just won an item through a private auction. It's a place nearby but I bid online. I realized after I purchased that the title didn't match the item (per the provided pictures). The title implied it was a rarer, limited edition version.

I honestly don't plan on flipping it, it's more of a collection item so I was willing to overpay a little, but the price disparity between what the listing title was for vs. what the item I bought is significant. I have a question:

Somehow I didn't complete putting my payment info in. I already emailed the auction owner per their inquiry guidelines. Should I just not put my payment info in until they respond? Or pay for it so that I am in good standing and then wait to see if they refund?

I know it's probably in the fine print that I have to buy the item... I reviewed it hours before I bid but didn't realize the error until after. At the end of the day I could care less if they ban me and I'm not in a pinch for cash. But I feel very deceived.

I know there's user error in this and legal guidelines to follow. But... the auction had properly listed other items of the same exact rarity levels but for some reason this one was inaccurate. Thoughts?
