25 Sep 2025 Amazon.com, Inc.Amazon pays 2.5 billion USD in FTC settlement over Prime sign-up and cancellation hurdles €2.13bn
According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Amazon used confusing order screens to push millions of customers into Prime subscriptions without their consent and deliberately made cancellation difficult. The settlement comprises a civil penalty of 1 billion USD and 1.5 billion USD in refunds, as well as a clear decline button and simple cancellation.
Subscription sign-ups require an equally prominent option to decline and a cancellation process that is as simple as signing up.
