Default Amazon Prime - inertia selling?

Brian Gaff (Sofa) wrote

Are you sure, on the web site at least I've never had such an experience,
indeed before check out it will ask you if you want to continue. Maybe its
like that in the app or something.


Its actually the reverse here. I did want the prime free trial
because it was coming from the USA and prime gets you
a cheaper shipping rate and faster. Couldn’t work out how
to sign up for the free prime trial on the app, had to do
that on the browser.

I found a "subscription" charge for £7.99 marked Amazon Prime.
I have never knowingly signed up.

I think it might be one of those almost-concealed bits of wording that
could easily be missed.
Next, you've got a monthly £7.99 charge!

I think this amounts to inertia selling which is illegal under both UK and
EU law.

I am determined to follow thus up.
