Amazon should stop allowing their zero inventory items from being allowed to be seen by seller accounts.

It is a hole to allow competitors to see. Link but the forum mangles

So have you @professor cracked the secret how @insider gets these first hand updates on new releases --> Zero inventory items on Amazon? or may be not?

For the USB-C to.Gigabit Ethernet Port… I would prefer a Proper USB-C hub instead of the single port adapter…

Kind of. Not fully.

Anker uses their seller central account to create new product. An ASIN is created. They upload an image or so. The ASIN once known is then a URL we can all see.

What I do not have is:

  • a seller account, to search Anker manufacturer for new products.
  • a spider account to send Amazon MWS API calls to do the above.

So yes, I figured out plenty but no, I cannot simply replicate what Insider is doing unless I spend $/month, or get someone who has an Amazon seller account to share their password.

You can see what is happening via the Powerstrip in the Testing Club. Initially it is just an image, then some text added, and slowly a full listing. Amazon will not let you search for it until inventory. Insider is showing the steps before, no inventory.

So when Insider says coming soon, he is seeing this

Then when he edits, it is because Anker edits the listing. So it becomes fuller with more information.

The ASIN is the created by Amazon unique code when a manufacturer creates new product. If you know the ASIN, you see everything. I don’t know it as I have not spent any money getting a seller account.

This Gig-E adapter, if I had the ASIN then it would be amazon.com/dp/ASIN and we’d all see the exactly the same.

This is a new/upgraded release, no? I believe this has been out for a while.

Yep, new design.

I guess I never realized that a lot of laptops might not come with Ethernet ports. I have mostly been a Dell person (new one every 3 years probably). Cool product to side step that issue though :+1:

Correct. For example my Chromebook from 6 years had no Ethernet, it was proprietary PSU and USB-A only. In some situations Ethernet required so I bought then a A - Ethernet.

Modern laptops are making the issue worse by not only not including Ethernet, but also moving to one USB-C port only, so use of this dongle would preclude charging, so you’d be wanting a pass-thru power hub with PD in, Ethernet, PD out.

I’m keeping an eye on my next laptop and seek two USB-PD ports, so can charge + something else concurrently, as hubs add their own wrinkle, another thing which can get in the way and make a fail.

Right now, the price is higher for this USB-C to Ethernet, add $6.30 better go for a 5-in-1 USB-C Hub for $26.39 … this already include Gigabit ethernet port (there may be more at sale)
