I want to know if my order will be fulfilled by Amazon.
I'm boycotting Amazon for political reasons, and I've brought my business to the independent sellers on Ebay for that reason. I'm even willing to pay a buck or two extra and have to wait a bit longer knowing that I'm not supporting Amazon, but when I do this and get delivery from Amazon Prime, it **bleep** me off. I have other options of where to take my business. Could you PLEASE post in a PROMINENT place on any listings if the order is going to be fulfilled by Amazon. One more Amazon surprise and I'm done with Ebay as well.

I know exactly how you feel.
Here are some tips to find a seller with their own inventory
1) Check the country of Registration on their profile page
Example - here's yours and it says
https://feedback.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/garyrgifford
This is different than the ship from in the listing.
Overseas sellers often drop ship from Amazon or Walmart
2) Read their feedback, disgruntled buyers often leave a note about amazon
3) Look at the photos and descriptions. Does it look like a "stock" photo, or does it look like a photo the owner took. Not perfect is better. Does the description read like it was copy and pasted from amazon?
4) Ask the seller if their inventory is on-hand, or ask them a question about the item
It's a challenge, but there are many many small business owners with their own inventory on eBay. Often not the cheapest price, but you understand that.
