Didn't we already do this topic?
What are you talking about? If Amazon knows where you are, is taht a poblem? If so, shop with somebody else.

Read this carefully and follow ALL the instructions and options to see if it will eliminate your being accessed by Amazon. Given that THEY and others they associate with (perhaps others that you would not be aware of) share information i can foresee that you might NOT be successful.

When one buys from Amazon, there are terms of use for Amazon service. If you do not agree to the terms of service, you should nnot say that you do whne yu don't.

If for some reason you need to keep nyour identity secreft, you need an private agent to help you make purchase using his credit card. You will find such a person locally somewhere in yuour neighborhood. But if you a a Spy, you should already know this. Where did hyou nget your Spy training? From watching re-runs of Chuck?

The minute you logon to your account, they already know where you are and what computer if they wanted to. So yah... I agree with Geek-9PM that if you really want to be annonymous, you need to buy through someone else, through someone elses internet connection and computer. I cant personally imagine a need to be that annonymous when buying items through amazon, unless of course your using amazon for evil intentions.

Well that's not entirely true. Geo-based IP locations are still very inaccurate to the best part, they can usually give you a general location to within maybe 50-60 miles, but maybe it's more accurate on US addresses.

What evidence of their tracking of you do you see? Did you use Amazon again after reformatting your hard drive, etc.?
