So you may have accidentally signed up to it. Good news is that it can be cancelled at anytime though with no.further charge or consequence.

When prime first started, I didn't notice at the bottom of the page, you HAD to opt out of signing up. You were automatically signed up to it, which I did. Cancelled as soon as I saw the invoice for payment of the item I had bought. But there was an outcry over this, and it was stopped, but it is still quite a devious set up now. (Add something to your basket and go to the payment stage, cancel at the last minute, but look at the various options and you will see what I mean)

I haven't bought anything from them, however I have withdrawn my bank card from them and changed my password.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
