I suspect investors (and the SEC) would have something to say if Amazon (or anybody else) reported free trials as paying members.

And how would they know unless Amazon told them? Which seems pretty unlikely.
![]() Amazon keeps all their numbers pretty quiet. |

Prime member. Bought it just for the "free" shipping. Worth it to me just for that original benefit. Amazon Prime video is great. I watch more regular Tv and Netflix...but do occasionally watch Prime...particularly now that I have the FireStick attached to the tv in the bedroom. Haven't really done much with the music service.
But yes, I'll buy aspirins and stuff like that from Amazon that I never would were it not for prime. I'm sure that my style of usage makes Prime a loss leader for Amazon. |

Which would be true for us. We had a Prime Membership -- cancelled it for about a year -- then bought it again in December. When we didn't have the Prime Membership we bought a lot more from eBay and other sites. Free, two day shipping makes a big difference.

Turns out if you select the 2 days shipping (almost automatic for me) for something that doesn't have Prime but did say "free shipping" they may mean "free shipping for regular delivery and then gouge you for 2 day if you select it. The time was only about 2 days difference. |

I wonder if I'm the only one who joined Prime primarily for the streaming video and music. I'm finding some items are priced better on Ebay. Actually just skipped Prime shipping on an item that was more than $4 less on Ebay, and that wasn't the first time. It looks like shipping costs are often built in to Amazon's prices for some Prime items. Perhaps I'm not Amazon's ideal customer :-)
