This is the offending screen that trips people up:
In order to continue with the order WITHOUT joining the Amazon Prime trial you have to click the text to the left of the scam button. That's counter-intuitive as everywhere else you press buttons to action things.
The button they provide there appears to be in 2 separate parts, the upper being "Accept free Prime Trial" and the lower you thus assume is the "No Thanks I don't want the trial" option, but it isn't. Both upper and lower are the same. They both initiate the Amazon Prime Trial.
It is a fraudulent scam any way you cut it, designed to forcibly get people onto the trial scheme so that a % of those that do, eventually pay for a year's Amazon Prime.
This is the kind of problem we get when we make a person or company ultra powerful. The power is abused. Google is no different. A law unto itself.
Complain bitterly imho

Re: Amazon Prime help please
I have joined Amazon Prime on more than one occasion, but only the free trials offered. On each occasion, I make a note in my online (Google Calendar) diary, and ensure that I cancel just before the trial period is up.On the other hand, I completely agree that their underhand methods are disgraceful. The pictures above demonstrate just how easy it is to come unstuck when signing on for a free trial.
Since last cancelling my Prime account, I continue to receive 'offers' to rejoin but, unfortunately, no 'free trials' and I have no intention ever to pay for Prime.

I did try to run Gmail without Javascript and the only option was to use a simplified version which I really didn't like!
