Great point. The limited times I have purchased from Amazon in recent history was accidentally in this manner. I think that purchasing directly from the creator’s/company’s website might send a message that some folks would like an alternative, but I don’t know that. Either way, it is less amazon.
I think if the only way to buy from them is through Amazon and you have the option to buy it from their site via Amazon you should definitely still take it! Like you said, at the very least they’ll see more traffic going through their site and folks who would’ve probably bought with or without Amazon.
Agreed. Except for one time last fall, I knew it was going to happen and did it anyway, thru the company’s website. That one company had their own portal and everything, didn’t know it came from amazon until it arrived 🤷 I’ll do it again! If I was selling stuff I am sure I would have to look at these few options out there.

As a business it’s possible to use Amazon for fulfillment only so that you can sell anywhere and have it shipped by Amazon.
Huh that’s interesting. I wonder if I’ve experienced this but didn’t notice
