The danger of buying open box computer from bestbuy for Amazon business?
I have heard so many people complain about issues with using used computer for their business on Amazon. I want to really understand this. Is it dangerous to buy open box computer at bestbuy and use it for Amazon business? I know someone might have logged in on those computers and access their Amazon accounts and we know what cookies do. Are we better off buying new computer to be on the safe side? Can we really do a complete cleaning and reset? My concern is NIC /Hardware address. Does amazon keep the hardware address of the network card apart from IP addresses?
comments are appreciated.

I've pondered similar questions myself; while I think that the chances of encountering any problem, IMO the overall risk is still too high. Even though it shouldn't matter, it's not worth risking my livelyhood to save a hundred bucks.
But this is all guessing. I don't think that IP addresses really matter; think of all the people using public wi-fi without having problems. I suspect (but don't know) that the MAC address plays a bigger part, and there are other identifiers that can be detected as well.
