    Not sure where to put this... or whether anyone else is bothered by this.

    Amazon have removed the 'open orders' function which allowed you to filter to see what pre-orders you had in place. This was a very helpful tool in conjunction with their pre-order price guarantee. I would order things when they appeared for pre-order and then, if the price didn't come down, or I found a better offer, I could cancel. This is now not possible. I can find no mention of why they have done this...maybe it is to stop people using it the way I do. Personally it has had the opposite effect and now means I am likely to use Amazon far less ...and I did spend a lot on their site. Ultimately this is a good thing. Whilst I tended to buy my vinyl from my local store other things such a Blu Ray and PS5 games are not as readily available in town and Amazon was the best place to get those.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Agreed - noticed this last week & will also be using Amazon less.
    It also doesn't help that a lot of orders I place seem to go down in price very shortly after I buy them!

    Yes ! Noticed this yesterday! Seems the only way now to keep tabs on what you’ve ordered on Amazon is to write it all down ! Hmmm :mad:

    It may be paranoia, but I’ve noticed whenever I add anything to my wish list it often goes up in price quite quickly!

    I've stopped using the wish lists - browsing history for me, but no doubt they have some sneaky way of monitoring that!

    Yes they do. Their bots pretty much monitor everything you do.
