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.

Absolutely useless and dearer than the many alternatives.
