Prior to usb-c - USB cables were only wired to work in one direction, and using an adapter like this can short circuit a USB-A host because voltage is not supposed to travel back in that direction.

4 pack instead of 3 for $3.99 and they are USB 3.0 so you will get full 5GBPS transfers instead of usb 2.0.

If you're the type of person who thinks plugging a surge protector into itself gives you infinite power, then maybe these aren't for you. But if you have a single clue about how electricity works, then it'll be ok.

The ones I posted still show as available for $4.49 so yeah it's $0.50 more now but still a better deal than the usb 2.0 ones.

How annoying.
Only deal I see right now is a 2 pack for $3.99 and I'd still pay the extra $1 to get the 4 pack for $5
Or perhaps a 3 pack for $4.39. https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Wa...B09W9HCRMJ
If they go up any higher here's another seller with a 4 pack that's usb 3.0 for $4.95: https://www.amazon.com/VAKS-Adapt...B09NXTV

*update* These are now $4.49. Still a preferred deal.
Those adapters are designed differently besides being larger. The usb-a on that is female and type c is male. In order to get usb 3.0 speed with a 3.0 adapter, people need a usb 3.0 port and to use the thicker 3.0 cable as well. I have the Amazon Basics thick 3.0 cable.
With the basesailor, it is the opposite as the usb-a is male and type c is female. I am using these for charging with my portable anker bank charger and anker plug charger.
I haven't felt the need to use these for data transfer. I just use the cables.
