The FCC just saved Netgear from its router ban for no obvious reason (www.theverge.com)

I don't think the FCC ban is really effective anyway. I was able to easily order a foreign-made router recently from the same reseller I've used in the past.

Also even if they did police the retailers for router sales, I doubt anybody on eBay is going to give a shit so there will be lots of routers for sale there.

The ban is on giving fcc license approval to new models, so stuff that's out now can still sell
