Do Amazon investigate MAC address? - Biglad465 - 05-16-2019
I create a new Amazon account , different names , email , card and use a drop address . Along with a VPN whenever I'm using the account.
If they Investigate a refund I do , there's nothing similar between those accounts other than my MAC address. Will they use that to link me to other accounts ?

As far as I know, unless there are special exploits, Mac's don't go over your lan.

Nobody can see your mac address on the internet - that gets lost as soon as your connection is bounced through your ISP. Nothing to worry about.

This ^
As a general example (non-VPN connection):
* You connect to your Router/Modem, and It's that device's Mac address that's In question.
* You then establish a connection to your ISP, and It's their Mac address that's exposed.
* Your ISP's servers then connect you to the website.
Ultimately, It's your ISP's Mac address that's visible.
