laptop question

Long story short...

I started selling on amazon on my desktop computer at home. A friend gave me the run down and taught me how to sell there. Later, he was banned. I didn't know that he was banned. I went to his house and logged into my account to show him a few things. A few days later, Amazon banned my seller account as well...(for life!) because they thought I was him I guess. I presume they can track people by their, IP addresses, email adds, which bankding account information is given, and matching inventories (like, if the user tries to open another account)

1. If I were to get a laptop computer with an air card, would my IP address always remain the same no matter where I travel in my city (or other states i venture to) ?

2. If i were to get an internet service on my laptop in my name, could they determine what my real goverment name or real address is...or would they just know me as just another IP address?

Because the money was so good, I plan on setting up another account, in my best friend's name. Using a brand new email, a brand new checking account (not in my name of course) and internet connection (I need mobile internet now more than ever anyway, so might as well kill two birds) Do you think I'd be safe? Or do you think Amazon would find me some how and ban me again ?
 
well first off you have to wonder why the banned you friend in the first place. I'd start by calling them and finding out what you did wrong and if the process is reversable. In regards to your questions i'm sure with the air card your ip will change from time to time because usually running a static ip costs extra and the average user would have no need for that especially when using mobile broad band. Also the only way they would find out any information about you would be if they contacted your internet service provider (which i doub't they'd do) and even if they did i'm not sure if your ISP would give up that kind of information about one of it's customers. So you'd probably be safe, but i'd start by calling them and asking them what you did wrong if you don't already know. Odds are it was some sort of honest mistake and they might fix your account and unban you.
