They should be required to add a photo for each.

> They should be required to add a photo for each.

Each entry there is a link, and the pages they link to have images. So no need require anything, it's already done.

Wow Then just a case of terrible UX? Nothing indicates anything is a link. And then clicking through there is a single composite image in a tiny header? Would it be hard to show the model numbers with the product image next to it?

Thanks. I was under the impression that EU sites weren't allowed to force consent for advertising cookies.

I did notice that Anker's web site is an actual store now, taking and shipping orders. It used to only link to Amazon.

such a shame, their stuff is quite good.

GP is incorrect, they haven't been banned from Amazon unless someone else is selling their products under their name:

Only some batches of these model numbers, though. I got an email saying mine had been recalled, but when I put in the serial number on their website, it said the batch was unaffected so mine is still safe to use.
