    Sometimes when I buy things on ebay, they are shipped by Amazon anyway. I wonder if there’s a way to avoid this?

      These sellers post the same items on every marketplace and use their Amazon marketplace to fulfill it. It’s easier to manage inventory and deal with shipping. So you never really know who’s just shipping from Amazon.

      The only way to avoid it is to buy from businesses directly, and not from the marketplaces they run.
