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?

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.

Unfortunately, I didn't get my sears catalog this year.

Lol true I was in Sears during a closeout a few years back, fuckin barren. Now your local store is a dropshipper with a copypasta website.

But in the sticks there are big "buy local" movements and stores are open.

Aside from groceries, clothing or feed, for some folks, "buy local" is doing some craigslist or facebook swap and meeting a dude at a gas station.
