Default Running multiple accounts - Power User Question

I had $8k monthly sales before Amazon closed the acct. I want to get back but I want to make sure that I do this correctly. I read the Stealth Book and spent several hours today on this forum can you help me out with a few deeper questions?

EIN/SS for Amazon
What is the best strategy for opening multiple Amazon accounts? I think I need at least 3 Amazon accts but how is that scalable with SS#s? Are you setting up 10+ different DBA with 10+ EINs? Running that many LLC accts seems expensive. My SS# is now burned. I could use my wife's but trying to figure out the best plan before I move forward.

Order Fulfillment
I am thinking I could outsource my inventory to Shipwire so that if an Amazon acct gets burned the inventory is safe and I just switch to a new Amazon acct? This is my second job and I have two little kids - I had been leveraging Amazon FBA because I didn't have time to ship items. Now I see how risky it can be to have my inventory under Amazon's control so I am trying to adapt my business model given the family situation. Maybe latter I can do this full time but for now I need my corp job.

3rd Party Software
Would using 3rd party software allow Amazon to link accts? I was thinking about Shipwire's integration with Amazon or maybe integrating mulitple Amazon and eBay accounts with Shipstation and then Shipstation to Shipwire. Thoughts?

For order fulfillment, you may need business modelling counselling. For Amazon accounts, you have to set up via Ghost method to avoid using/re-using SSNs.

Havent used Shipwire or Shipstation so no comment on that.

All the more reason - if true - to make more Ghost accounts

Yes, this is correct. AZ is very 'trigger happy' when it comes asking for tax info now.
