Say i want more than 1 amazn account i will need to keep the mac addresses unique across each account.

Lets say i have a mifi hotspot that sorta acts like wifi and i have a internet adapter which i plug into my PC which will allow me to connect to the internet (mifi hotspot)

I think both of these items have mac addresses? is that correct?

Would amazn see both mac addresses? or just the one from the internet adapter?
 
Both will have a mac address, but I'm not sure if amazon would be able to detect them, they defiantly do the internet adapter.

Better off using a windows RDC.
 
Mac @PC / Operaring system.
so if amazon wanna different mac, so you must use different operating system (pc) not wifi address
One wifi / provider is safe if you use different pc.
 
Websites cannot read your MAC address, as they cannot access your OS.
 
So how would amazn link accounts?

If i use different user accounts on my PC and also use a different internet connection, would that be enough?

Yes, but make sure you clear all browser footprints such as cookies and localstorage, or use an incognito window.

This. All the posts you see about changing your MAC address for a website don't know what they're talking about.

While you're at it also ignore the daft advice about changing your user agent. If you spoof that and it doesn't match the browser fingerprinting you're just sticking out like a sore thumb. Use the latest Chrome/FireFox/Edge either use one for each or a separate profile for each account.

What do you mean by localstorage? And won't cookies be kept seperate because of the different Windows user accounts?

Is using firefox enough to stop this?
