Best way to avoid Amazon asking for my SSN for an LLC account?

[pb1234]

Hi. I currently have an LLC set up for my online activities with its own EIN. However, if Amazon wants to take the time to look, they will see that I am the owner behind the LLC, especially if they ask for my SSN and dig around. If I set up another LLC and have my other LLC own it, will I be able to avoid ever giving my personal SSN and just be able to use the EIN of the owning LLC if they request additional verification? I would really appreciate some input on this. Thanks!

Im Not sure if you can set this up with LLC's I pretty sure that you can Though.

I Know that you can set it up by Incorporating (INC as opposed to LLC) once you have a "Parent" Corporation you can set up Sub Chapter Corporations Independant tax wise but owned by the parent Corporation
