    I do most of my shopping through eBay, although some of the sellers use Amazon for fulfillment. They’re hard to avoid entirely.

      This has been a serious bugbear for me lately. I switched to eBay, NewEgg, Etsy to spite Amazon’s monopoly on e-commerce but I have neither the awareness nor the “spoons” to sort out the vendors on those sites who ship through Amazon

      It deflates my spirit a little every time one of my orders come in with that damn smirking logo
