1st Aamazon Sale: They Deactivate My Account
So I make my first Amazon sale....it wasn't much but it was my first and I was excited.
Then I get an email from Amazon stating the below:

It is always very important to establish a solid base of content on your website before you apply to Amazon. I would recommend around 15-20 pages/posts until you apply to this program, and many others that usually do a manual review.
That is why it is covered in Level 3 of the training. Unfortunately this can happen sometimes, but there are many alternatives to Amazon out there and I definitely wouldn't let this demotivate you, rather use this as motivation to get better!
They wait until you make a sale because at that point they have to pay you money. Until they the actually have to pay you they really don't care. I've had a couple accounts deleted for the same reason. Now I build content on my sites then link amazon to them just to keep them happy.

Amazon did the same thing to me! And because we can use their pictures I had a lot of products from Amazon on my website. I was so mad, I had to re-do most my site and I'm still in the process of doing so. My first sale also! Not Happy At ALL!
Yeah it's horrible when it happens
