I’m sorry to say but AMZ has it figured out. I went looking for a widget among other things. I shopped Target, Home Depot, almost every B&M store in my area and no one had the widget. But AMZ. AMZ had the widget. I’ve ordered at least 3 things from AMZ this week. It only takes one day to get an item, and I don’t have to go from one B&M to another searching for the widget. I need some business cards and went to 4-5 stores, no one (except Staples) had the cards, and I didn’t want to travel to Staples. Target had the cards, but not in store. It would take days to get the cards through shipping, so I went to AMZ.
As for AMZ boxes, they encourage sellers (and others) to reuse their boxes. Maybe Ebay should give sellers (free) their branded shipping items. Instead of sellers having to BUY their packaging items.

I really don’t get it or the buying from Amazon.
I only went there for books I couldn’t get and then it became harder to find them.
Then there were more merchandise and you pay more for them than getting off your butt and purchasing them.

(I understand about some of the home bound people, but . . . (and if they have kids, shame on the kids in not helping out) )

I hate when I see an Amazon box come to me by a seller that I purchase from on other sites. I will mention in the comment section about this.
