Is this style a top bearing or bottom bearing flush trim router bit?
Clearly the two sellers don't agree. Personally I think they are top bearing trim bits. I always call router bit up and down by the position they take when hand held, NOT table mounted. Spiral up cut bits for example should pull cuttings toward the router which is on top in hand held operation. When using a table mounted router the router is upside down and you reverse the directions of the descriptions to determine which way things go.
Both these pictures, though, show the bits as they would be in table mounted operation. Still I say the title on the right is correct... these are both showing top bearing bits. Although both of them show the bits in the inverted position, as they would be in a table mounted router.
Directions for router bits , up, down, top, bottom, and direction of rotation are with respect to the router on top in the handheld configuration.
Its easy to get confused. The one on the left is wrong. But, hey its cheaper, and hey, it's handy per the description. Everyone needs a handy router bit. Zokmok, Jooyle, I don't think I am buying either brand.
