Weird, never had this problem before. After ordering on Amazon (FF or IE), there is no link or button to go to checkout, just a picture of the basket with the number of items in it.

Sorted, apparently I have ordered an "add on" item, and this can only be purchased as part of a total of £20 or more. Never come across this before, and have ordered many items for less than £20 with no problem.

I had that last week and I've not come across it before either

Also, I decided I'd like two of the "add-on" items after ordering, which you could always do with previous purchases as long as they were not despatched. You can't do it with "add-ons", it becomes part of a new £20+ order. Tough, I'll get it in Maplins instead. I shan't be buying any more add-ons from Amazon, its just a ploy to get you to buy more stuff.

To many flashing up adds for me to enjoy the "shopping experience" so tend not to use it unless i really have to.

Quite clever though. If I link to an omega on eBay from here, next time I go on Amazon, there it is at the side.

Is it called  'targeted marketing' or something like that -  when you visit certain websites, similar ads appear when you then go on other websites, basically based around what you've been looking up on the web lately. A mate did this, and put up on his facebook status 'anyone else sick of all these penis enlargement ads that keep appearing on their facebook?!' ....

He was then told the terrible truth....

 I like it. Even at my advanced age I know how that works.

It`s also quite handy if you`re already buying something over £20, the items I was after were half the price of anywhere else so I`ll be getting them as soon as I need something over £20
