You are referring to 'Amazon Prime', yes, they do try to trick you into signing up for prime with a big default 'YES' button and a tiny 'No, I don't want to sign up for Prime, just let me order the normal way' alternative button. I know several people who fell for this but they all got their money back as soon as they asked for it.

While I agree this practice is reprehensible on their part and should be jumped on by trading standards, you won't get caught by it twice, so it seems a bit extreme to never use them again for that one reason.
