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?

Use eBay.

Yes this, I will often find a product on amazon with the reviews and such, then find it cheaper on ebay, but I also try to buy directly from the manufacturer if I can. Frys electronics is also good, and newegg.com are good places to check too. I have also canceled my subscription to amazon prime.

many ebay sellers simply are fronts for Amazon. Plus Amazon acts as the warehouse for many sellers. it is a safe bet that multiple sellers of the same item with the same picture and within a few cents of each other then are likely fronts for Amazon. The clever seller will have a different picture but is still an Amazon reseller--and there are times I will send a msg asking if they are Amazon reseller and a no response confirms my suspicions

Fulfilment by amazon. They will hold your items in there wearhouse and have integration to every major and most minor e-commerce platforms.
