first step is to sign in with your username and password. find the item that you want, add it to your basket then click checkout, it might ask you to put your password in again.
Try that bit and let me know how you get on.
agree with woofgang - you then get the option to pay, or to carry on shopping.
Although I've answered hundreds of questions here in Technology, I'd not ordered anything from Amazon until very recently. It's incredibly simple!

Simply find the first item you want to buy and click 'Add to Basket'. If you want something else, do the same again (and again, and again and . . . if you're buying a lot!). When you've got everything in the basket, click 'Proceed to checkout' and simply follow the instructions.

If you need more detailed instructions, they're here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=502528
but, for me, they make a simple task sound complicated; it isn't!

One word of caution though: DON'T put a tick where it offers free one day delivery with a free trial of 'Amazon Prime'. If you do that you'll be signing up to a service which (after the trial period) costs £49 per year!

Don't worry if you haven't got a clue as to what they are. Just start shopping, following my instructions. Amazon will then regard you as a first-time user.

Don't buy anything from Amazon ! They don't pay enough tax in Britain, and they treat their workers like dog poo.

In the summer of 2011, I worked on the Census and one of my colleagues had worked for Amazon previously...we have an Amazon warehouse here in Swansea the size of Gatwick Airport.

( just thought of another reason to boycott Amazon...they call those places "fulfillment centers" not warehouses....American company, hence the tentative attachment to the English language )

His working conditions were dreadful...hardly any meal breaks, and he could only pee at appointed times. One day he turned up for work but his card wouldn't work the carpark barrier. When he managed to phone his Manager from the road outside the "fulfillment center" he was told that they didn't need him today and to try again the following morning, at 06.00. Can you imagine that sort-of thing happening elsewhere in British workplaces ?

Amazon are crap and we should encourage them !
Here's a short video. This will help you out !

Thanks Buenchico. terrible coughing fits every hour or so.
Cough and catarrh driving me nuts. Been a few days now. Just as I think I'm lots better --there it comes again. Thanks for caring xx
Coughs are just so wearing - seem to knock all the stuffing out of you all day & then you don't get enough sleep either.

Hope you can shake it off soon.
