It was NOT. Today (05-12-21) I received an update that it was delivered today. I checked and the only thing that was delivered was an empty, opened Amazon Prime envelope that contained a receipt for the item that was not in the opened, empty Amazon Prime envelope. There are two problems:
1. I still do not have the fuses.
2. Why did it come from Amazon. If I wanted to buy from Amazon, I would have ordered from Amazon.
I will once again contact Ebay to question why they allow sellers to list items on Ebay that will be processed through Amazon. I think this form of selling is deceptive at best. Either send a refund or the fuses.  I have sent numerous messages to the seller, including photos at the sellers request.  The sellers final solution, I should report it to the police.  Trying to resolve this issue with Ebay resolution center has proven to be a JOKE.

Go to the resolution center below and select, the item doesn't match the description.
The seller will have 3 days to accept the return and pay return shipping or refund without returning.
If they don't, return to the case on day 4 and ask Ebay to step in.

Thanks, I will try it.

@kensgiftshop is right. I would open an INAD case. Also I did a bit of research and amazon is a online retailer. So what your buyer is doing is against eBay's selling policies 

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/posting-items/setting-postage-options/drop-shipping?id=4176

Drop shipping, where you fulfill orders directly from a wholesale supplier, is allowed on eBay. However, listing an item on eBay and then purchasing the item from another retailer or marketplace that ships directly to your customer is not allowed on eBay.

So the seller is going to feel the wrath of ebay

It depends.

Some sellers sell here and on Amazon and they have Amazon store and ship their orders, which is fine to do.

If they are listing here, selling, then buying from Amazon and having them ship to their customer, then that is against policy.

I agree.

On Amazon it is called Multi Channel Fulfillment. It is the seller's inventory, but they sell on both platforms, Ebay and Amazon, for example, and pay fees to Amazon to process shipments from their warehouse(s).

They are not supposed to do that.  However, it in NO way prevents you from filing an item not as described case in the resolution center. Link at lower right of page.  It's still an eBay case no matter how or where the seller sent it from.

Receiving parcels from Amazon in response to purchases made here on eBay from eBay sellers has happened to me at least 3 times in the past 18 months.   I didn't complain because I got the merchandise but I did think it was odd and, I felt, a bit unethical.  I specifically don't support Amazon whenever possible to support a seller elsewhere so I felt betrayed when I saw that the sellers I was supporting were, in fact, supporting Amazon on my dime.

...wrath of eBay! Thanks for my first big laugh of the day!

Make sure that you ship back the empty packaging when requesting a return..ONLY ship to the address ebay provides.
