I once bought some mapping software e-bay listed as suitable for PalmOS and WIndows Mobile PDAs. My specific PalmOS device was listed as compatible. What I received was only suitable for Windows Mobile PDAs. I complained and the e-bay vendor refused to compensate me because I should have known it wasn't suitable for PalmOS devices! I only got my money back by claiming through PayPal.

So you got your money back. Why do you think PayPal refunded it? Dare I suggest it was due to a false description. I am suggesting that the poster explicitly asks, the responsibility then lies with the seller.

I got my money back because I paid by PayPal and the vendor didn't respond to the PayPal complaints procedure. If I had paid by any other method I might have been left in the lurch. There are a LOT of shady characters on e-bay - it is too easy to take money and run. I wouldn't trust any private seller who seems to be running a business with the volumes sold.

I agree that the vendor should ask. In practice I don't think it counts for much with private sellers on e-bay.

Even if it is b grade is it still the same router if you went and bought a ST585 v6 brand new, also did you say that the DSLDepot website was out of stock of them now?.

I purchased a b-grade 585 V6 from dsldepot back in February month. Came in original Speedtouch box. Looks brand new the only thing different came with an OEM power supply. Can only get 2Gb on my line due to distance but since replacing my old generic router my line connection is very stable.

The website still showing them in stock but don

yes is the same router as the new V6. The only difference appears to be some people report the 585v6 used to come with a stand I didnt get a stand but that doesnt bother me at all.

you correct, they appeared to have added it now.

Anyone who wants to know which to get order this one.
