Well its not that bad. I hate ebay, and many many sites are totally
inaccessible to blind users, and to me normally, Amazon have been fair and
helpful when I contact them or their sellers.
If you decided every time you saw an advert down the high street and buy
whatever then you would be a little mad.
I've been to many shops where they have given me a free gift but I've
always enquired if there are strings attached and sometimes there is, read
the small print.
which I get them to do if I might be interested of course!

Amazon signed me up without my say so for 'Prime' and if I had not
taken prompt action it would have cost me £75 a year.

SFAIK, it is illegal for you to be enrolled in a paying service without
your consent. However, if you have, at any time, accepted a trial of
Prime, you have agreed to it being automatically renewed when the trial
period ends. Given the way they present the options, it is not
difficult accidentally to chose to trial Prime when navigating to the
checkout.

Except that having been caught that way once, I am uber careful.

I have just given up using Amazon. Except in extremis, where no one else
has what I want.
