"I typed in YamzWorld into the Amazon app and lo and behold there were all my products there with my pictures from my website as well," Montes-Tarazas said.

While he receives payment for sales, Montes-Tarazas said the arrangement strips away his ability to build direct customer relationships.

"I do get the sale and I do get the money, but customers never get to interact with my website, they have no ability to sign up for my mailing list. They have no idea who I am as an artist or what I stand for," Montes-Tarazas said.

I have been trying to break my Amzon Addiction for years. This did it. Walmart is lesser evil now.

Try eBay. You're much more likely to find a small business selling whatever widget you need.

I bought a tool on eBay and it arrived at my doorstep... fulfilled by Amazon. I was so pissed I wrote to them. They replied saying Amazon did all of their fulfillment.

Yeah, that happens fairly frequently. I don't have an Amazon account, so I personally roll with the punches.

What's really fun is when you have to return one of those items and they don't know what to do.
