Amazon Associates
We recently had our account closed but didn't give us any reason. We post links to Amazon products on a couple of facebook pages we run and we also recently started listing them on a website with a matching domain name.
We have no idea why they would close our account, so we reached out to them; at first we were told it was closed by mistake and we were free to make a new account. When we reached out again to find out what would happen to the money we'd already earned we received a rather rude reply telling us the decision to close out account is final and we're not entitled to any of the money we had already earned, and if we were to make another account that would also be closed.
As far as we're aware we hadn't broken any of their TOS, nor were we doing anything spammy. The only thing I can think of is maybe it was because we'd altered URLs and changing .co.uk links to .com links so people in America could go the products using out affiliate link. So maybe they closed it because we require an Amazon Associates US account to distribute affiliate links with the .com TLD extension?
Otherwise we have no idea why we'd have our account closed, does anybody have an experience with Amazon and such matters?
Cheers, Mat.
