How do you find small and large businesses with online storefront that we should support? Is there a directory or list somewhere?

How do you price compare at least on some basic level?

Is there something like a better search engine 'shopping' search?

If I were in a hard spot and had to buy from Amazon, do I go to ebay first since some small businesses post there?

Just search for the product with "made in America" on the web.

There are multiple "buy american" directories like chinanever.com/ you can shop at too.

I found something on Amazon I wanted, went to the products homepage and bought it there (with free shipping even).

Also ebay is terrible on sellers. They have no rights and the fees take half of everything they make.

So, use it just to locate businesses?

Wouldn't it still be better than purchasing from amazon if I search and cant find it elsewhere? Is it acceptable to just 'soft' boycott ebay?

I was only an eBay seller so can't compare but I got absolutely raped on there. Maybe the business have an upgraded account that isn't as bad. But Amazon, eBay and PayPal are all part of the same machine.

Just remember the internet hasn't been around that long and people got by before without it.
