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.



Some goods are now subscription on Amazon and often the default tick
setting is NOT "one time purchase".


Random Example (note the default is a 4 times a year subscription)

Check your Amazon order record for anything that may be consumed on a
regular basis - in the above example Vitamin D tablets but I've seen
cleaning products and pet treats with the same type of listing.



I recently got them to have a chat with me, to correct an accidental click
on a subscription order, they cancelled it immediately.
