Update.  After talking to Sonos Support, removing the Amazon Shopping App before adding Alexa to my Move in the Sonos App, worked for me.

The Amazon Shopping App can be reinstalled immediately afterwards.

Sorry, are you saying that you don’t have the Amazon Shopping App installed on your device?

Sorry,  I'm not being very clear. My question is relating to if the Amazon Shopping App is installed on your phone or tablet that you are using the Sonos App on?

Where about in this process are you failing: https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/set-up-an-amazon-alexa-device-to-control-sonos
