for (int j = 0; j < dataGridView3.RowCount; j++) 
{
    if (dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[1].Value != null && (textBox4.Text == dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[4].Value.ToString()))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Item Already on List!");
        dataGridView3.Rows.Remove(dataGridView3.Rows[n]);
        return;
    }
    else 
    {
        dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[1].Value = textBox43.Text;
        dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[4].Value = textBox4.Text;
        dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[2].Value = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
        dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[3].Value = dateTimePicker3.Text;            

        dataGridView3.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = n;
        dataGridView3.CurrentCell = dataGridView3.Rows[n].Cells[0];
        dataGridView3.Rows[n].Selected = true; 
    }
}

You are looping over the complete array and if it is not yet on the list it goes in to the else part of your if. In that block you assign the current entered values to your row, for every single row you already have.

To fix that I separated the Check for duplicates and the Add part more clearly.

Do notice that if you would have run this through the debugger and stepped on each line of your code (hitting F10 in Visual Studio) you would have spotted this bug easily. Have a look at the blog from Scott Guthrie (among others) http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/debugging-tips-with-visual-studio-2010

    // check if we already added that one
    for (int j = 0; j < dataGridView3.RowCount; j++) 
    {
        if (dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[1].Value != null && (textBox4.Text == dataGridView3.Rows[j].Cells[4].Value.ToString()))
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Item Already on List!");
            return;
        }
     }

     // lets add it!            
     int n = dataGridView3.Rows.Add();

     dataGridView3.Rows[n].Cells[1].Value = textBox43.Text;
     dataGridView3.Rows[n].Cells[4].Value = textBox4.Text;
     dataGridView3.Rows[n].Cells[2].Value = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
     dataGridView3.Rows[n].Cells[3].Value = dateTimePicker3.Text;

     dataGridView3.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = n;
     dataGridView3.CurrentCell = dataGridView3.Rows[n].Cells[0];
     dataGridView3.Rows[n].Selected = true;
