I would like to build my business but not use globohomo online sellers and distributors.
 
I use eBay often, Etsy occasionally, what other sites am I missing?

Seller? Shopify plus marketing dollar out the wahzoo for long term. Set your model on "amazon or walmart but not amazon or walmart" and you will either run into dead ends or find yourself dealing with the same problem later on but even worse due to your growth.

Aha. I have found making my own market does work better than when I sell at a maker's market or farmer's market.

Yeah if you can get the eyes on your product, as it sounds like you can do.
  
If you are selling quantity of a smaller variety (less than 100 different) products you can use inventory aggregate software like sellbrite or inkfrog and essentially hook up infinite online storefronts to one physical inventory. For small or niche platforms you typically need to export csv data and have pictures organized separately to be added in on the target platform, which is why I suggest it only if you have low variety / high quantity inventory.
  
I have high variety / single quantity inventory so my opinions are limited due to the labor impracticality of handing any inventory migration that requires any level of per-item attention instead of "just werking". I have thought of changing my direction just to get away from that and get inventory for which data is easier to manage.
 
It represents a "hail mary" attempt on the third party platform model, but with diversification to pad dead ends.
