Is anyone else having trouble finding the checkout link? I've looked on the main site and the accessible one, and I don't see it. No joke. I've run into some pretty annoying accessibility issues on Amazon, but this one takes the cake!

Why does it say we are ignoring? That is not good for our group.

Last time I bought something, and this was recently, I had no trouble finding the checkout link. Although when trying to use one click ordering, I found that to be inaccessible. I noticed recently, however, that at least on the main sight, that the review page, which was accessible isn't their! Does anyone know where it went?

It is there, it just doesn't say checkout anymore, and that is what is confusing.
It hasn't been there for a long time on the regular site I use, so I just assumed it was marked on the other.
It seems that "link" is going away on many sites, and now you just click the word, or the symble, and that symbol is audible, it just doesn't say, "next" or whatever.
Might be due to web design changing.
I'll copy it and show you what is says.
If you are using Firefox and Webvism you can label it on the page.

I went to Amazon this morning, and I couldn’t reproduce what you see.
It is possible they’ve fixed it, or due to my keeping updated on software, the issues is resolved for me.
I see labeled Checkout.
Now, if you are buying a CD or something you only see the words confirm purchase, and it doesn’t say link, but you know just to press inter there.
So saying that, when you see something where the checkout button normally should be, simply press the enter and it will take you to the review page.
Unless you have one click ordering, there is no fear of buying before you are ready. Even the one click gives you 30 minutes to change your mind.
I am Sorry I can’t show you what you experienced, because that be the best way to help you. Smile.
Oh, and last, I forgot.
If you are putting things in your MP3 cart, you have to click that on, not the regular cart.

For some reason, the gift card process for Amazon is really slow. I ordered a gift card, so I can split a transaction across two different cards, and the website said five minutes for delivery. The customer service person said a couple hours; wtf?

A couple hours is really slow? You tweakin' hipsters need to learn how to wait, hold your pants on.

Depending on the day, you have to remember this is gift buying season. Lots of people shopping.
This might account for the process bing slower.

Just wanted to leave a quick update and let you guys know that the checkout link is back, just in case anyone else was having the same problem I was. Not sure why all the links keep disappearing. Maybe the site has a bug. All I know is that I finally got to make my purchase! lol

They may have been updating. Amazon is always changing, and if you've noticed the page has lots of new things on it.

Wayne makes a good point.
not to get off topic, but I notice that the Facebook app has recently made it to where I'm no longer able to write on people's walls, which I'd guess is likely due to the fact they've updated the app.

I recently had to update my credit card info on Amazon, and remembered some of you had trouble with this, so here is my method of doing it.
In my account, I click on payment methods.
I click on the one click ordering instead of trying to change the card in the regular settings.
In their it lets me alter the payment method.
This works on both the mobile and regular site for me.
Easier on the mobile site however.
