Some e-Bay sellers of various flash remotes SPECIFICALLY say that their products will not work with the later Canon flashes ...................

Let me be very specific, they will work on a 580EX II (you are interchanging 580EX II with 580EX, they are very different flashes). Hook the receiver to the PC terminal on the flash...don't use optical slave adapters. If the Cypersyncs don't work the way you want them to PaulCBuff will send you your money back (within 60 days). And if you bought his 'chinese' wireless stuff, you can send that back in for a full credit on the Cybersyncs, no matter how long you've had them.
