Amazon One-Click is Evil

This is just too easy. Doesn't give you any time to back out of your impulse buy while typing in your credit card number.

One-Click + Prime = Crack.

Yeah, I was in the mood for some frosted cherry Pop-Tarts one night. I still have several boxes in my pantry. LOL

Never used it but my CC number is saved so it's really easy to buy stuff (plus Amazon has everything.) Just spent $250 on an espresso machine and accessories.

My checking account would cry if one click was enabled and I had prime, especially as a college student.

I'm going to bump this year-old thread for a simple PSA regarding using one-click at Amazon.

I used it often, but never really took the effort into realizing exactly what it does. Basically, it creates a timed order - I think 90 minutes. All items ordered with 1-click get combined within that 90 minute period and THEN the order gets processed.

Well, if an item is in heavy demand, do not use 1-click ordering. Item availability is calculated at the time of processing, not using 1-click. If it sells out before the 1-click timer, your order will be processed, but backordered.

Just an FYI.

I've never activated one-click, because
