- ordering products and having them sent to one of the addresses that the user has used before - not very profitable, unless the identity thief is the usual family member or colleague. But if you're John Q. Cracker running around on the internet, you can't get any product.
- previous order history
- whish list if it was not public before
- previous addresses
- last digits of credit card numbers
- making mayhem by submitting spam/insane reviews, but these are moderated anyway

Just note that this list isn't exhaustive. Access could be used to get value by other avenues such as social engineering, a cracked account in good standing could be used to offer "new and used" products and so on. I haven't tried buying or selling used product on Amazon, but I would assume that the used products trade there has the same dynamics as other used and auction sites like eBay. (Escrow scams, people who never send product, phishing etc.)


The main point is that you can't just take over a random account and order stuff for yourself.
