As such, it's probably irrelevant who the legal owner of the LLC is - it could be your personal name even if you own other Amazon accounts or have been suspended before. The WY LLC ownership info is private. So no need to jump through hoops of multiple shell corporations owning other corporations, I know it sounds cool in the movies but I don't see why you would do that.
The Point of Contact that you would enter on Amazon could be anyone, connected or not connected to the WY LLC you created. If things get hairy later and Amazon starts asking for articles of the LLC, you could add that person to the LLC at any point. (they also don't require SS or any info on the members of the LLC)
If anyone sees things differently, correct me
FYI. Currently on Amazon there are TONS of Sellers who are using the exact same Registered Agent address used as a Business Address and they all seem to be running fine. I think Amazon realizes that the laws in WY require the use of a Registered Agent and also there are only so many registered agents in that state so it is reasonable to think that large number of the corporations formed in that state will have the same Registered Agent and same address.
