Oh no you didn't! Why no Gigabit?

I ordered a 100ft Cat5e cable. Plugged everything in, blinking lights on the Trendnet gigabit switch and boom 100Mbit light goes on not the more desirable 1000Mbit light. Groan!

I noticed my cable was exceptionally light and flexible. The $2.75 + shipping is just too good to be true especially when the next best price is $19.99.

Is this a new wrinkle to ebay selling: selling goods that aren't quite standard (e.g. Cat 5e) for way less, it will work for most people and just refund the rest.

Ugh.
