That $79/year was intended to REPLACE the price of shipping on individual items.
If the price of those items increases by the cost of shipping, after you've payed the $79, Prime is now a sunk cost of $79 that has ZERO returns.
This is the basis of the lawsuit, this is very easy to understand.
Amazon should be covering the shipping cost associated with Prime items, Instead they collude with sellers to make them "Prime eligible" and those sellers increase prices by the cost of shipping. That's a scam.
I've had prime since it's inception, I have 500+ orders on my amazon account. It used to be a great deal, it's basically just a scam to get you to use their video service now.
