Ships from Amazon.com

Sold by Amazon.com

These two indicate who holds the stock and who delivers the product. All prime-eligible items are shipped by Amazon.com (although some other shipping methods provide 'prime free shipping', without a 2-day guarantee), while Amazon also will wholesale buy and sell items themselves if they're high-volume enough, which is indicated by 'Sold by Amazon.com'.

The whole 'Visit the <Brand> Store' is a way to go to a page that only shows products sold under that brand/company. For example, this Corsair ql120[0] has "Visit the Corsair store" under the product name which shows all Corsair products. Amazon generally limits the amount of off-Amazon linking done, although it's not strict and it's not off-limits in product images or the description.

Thanks — I can see that it says who sells/ships the item just above the protection plan up-sell area, which I typically don't look at. It's useful for me to know that the "visit X Store" link at the top doesn't necessarily mean that Company X is actually involved in inventory selection/shipment, which is what I would have assumed based on having seen pages like the olight page, which seem to have been designed by olight.
