Is This Misleading Advertising? USB A 3.0 to Type C Cable

Hi All,
I broke my USB A 3.0 to Type C cable last week and am searching ebay for a replacement.
I came across this listing and the first picture shows USB 3.0, however I note the 8th picture shows USB A 2.0 (the red cable colour)!

Most other listings describe "USB 3.1 Type C To USB", but doesnt specify USB 3.0.

Is this misleading?

I need a USB A 3.0 to Type C for data transfer so any help would be appreciated!

Kmart is selling the same cable for $8.00 so surely it must be cheaper on ebay?

Cheers

    It is cheaper, 11 cents cheaper?

    Type refers to the shape of the connector.
    The number refers to the standard it supports.

    Don't mix the two up.

    I'm assuming you need Type A to C connectors, and would like it to support USB 3. I would suggest buying some Blitzwolf cables off Banggood or the like.

    I have had a couple of TC1s that have lasted me years.

        Is there a reason you won't accept the USB 3.1?

          3.1 is fine. Just need a cable to transfer data.
