Stop worrying about it until you get them.They might be fine!! I've had tires that were folded and looked as bent as Julian Clary but once seated in the rim and pumped up they were fine.Bending in a figure of 8 and folding back shouldn't put a 90 degree bend in the bead but it will make the tire bend when stood up straight. When pumped up it will pull back into shape.Life is too short to worry about things that might happen. Wait until you receive the tires first then deal it with if it needs sorting.
If he sold them as Minty fresh and you receive it in a worse condition then claim your money back through paypal! Kinks can be removed but if your not happy then you have to claim!!
Best hing to do is get your mate to send pics of how kinked they are; not being funny but pics say a thousand words and your mate may be thinking they are bad when in fact they may not be
