returning USB-C Dock that does not charge phone. Amazon claims it is not supposed to but doesn't understand difference in ports. Noticed I can charge something using USB ports 0.9A but cannot charge the phone with the USB-C port.

Fakespot analyzes the reviews authenticity and not the product quality using AI. We look for real reviews that mention product issues such as counterfeits, defects, and bad return policies that fake reviews try to hide from consumers.
We give an A-F letter for trustworthiness of reviews. A = very trustworthy reviews, F = highly untrustworthy reviews. We also provide seller ratings to warn you if the seller can be trusted or not.
What dock? There's so little info in your post
OP is vague in the issue, but he described it more here: https://old.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/comments/jabx7d/usbc_dock/
The PinePhone itself: https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/08/13/the-linux-based-pinephone-is-the-most-interesting-smartphone-ive-tried-in-years/
So OP is trying to use the VAVA dongle with an extremely experimental device that's absolutely not designed for mere mortals, and complaining that it doesn't work. I'm chalking this one up to user error.
Definitely user error. The Amazon description says that they don't recommend charging a phone via the dock. There's not even a single image with a phone being charged, just using the dock for a display output
