This - "...$79 per year and offers free two-day shipping on all eligible items"

I have bought a lot more NON-eligible items then eligible items in the past year. So what makes the distinction?

If its got a Prime logo on the item, it doesn't matter the price, its free two day shipping.

If its an "add-on item" that just means you need to bring the total up to $35 instead of $25 in order to get free shipping.

This is more of an issue for non-prime members and items that are only sold by Amazon and not third-party vendors.

It really has mainly to do with who is shipping it. If it is actually purchased from Amazon, or from an affiliate that Amazon actually fulfills the order, it is generally eligible for prime. There are many items that are listed, that are actually sold by other companies, and they do their own shipping. The only thing Amazon does is show it to you, and then do the billing for them.
