registering with amazon does give them permission ( in small print) to use cookies and also to search for cookies for other amazon accounts.

Having said that I have had 2 amazon accounts in good standing on same PC for years, with no issues.
[ except that one got hacked ~1 year ago & so I have stopped keeping any payment methods active in that one, and I had a most frustrating time with amazon refusing to tell me anything useful about the fraud / hack ( a bit like what the OP is experiencing re returns) e.g. they refused even to tell me from what country the fraudulent amazon coin purchases were made or from what type of "android device." ]

You could get around the cookie check in various ways e,g, different browsers for different accounts, ccleaner to frequently wipe browser traces...
I flip my kindle registration as needed to access current book purchases, or older ones in the other account. I have never been told not to , or to stop doing that.

I recall reading the ebay also use multiple methods to stop banned customers simply re-joining with a new name. I think ebay actually blacklist IP addresses.
