Wealthy Affiliate #CaptainsLog: Just when I thought It was safe to go back in to the Water - Amazon
Ruff week! I'm sure this is all my fault. I'm sure I missed the fine print. Though I thought I covered it all and was on m way to "Sell-Ville". Then bam! I go to my Amazon Affiliate site to add some more items that friends and family are interested in and I get a message saying my Amazon Associate account (affiliate) is Closed. I called to find out why and they explain that I violated one of the rules. "You can Not put static prices on Amazon items on your website". In the back of my head I was wondering how I was going to keep up with Amazon's continuously changing prices, but now I know.... I'm not. So please don't take a "Nose Dive" like I did and create a bunch of websites with pricing, just to be told you have to redo them and re-apply.
Signed,
Lesson Learned I hope :0(

This seems to be coming up a lot lately, I know I am guilty of a few of the no no's that I have to fix. Sorry that this happened to you.
You probably already know this but if you use Amazon's Image or Image and Text combined links the prices are updated automatically so you never have to worry about it.
I had to learn the same thing when I started.
So are you saying there is a way to link to amazon where it can update the price on your website? Or do they just have to click on the link to see the updated price?

Tough lesson to learn. All of the best with re-applying.
So I was able to re-apply and so far so good.... but definitely looking at the rules again.... provided by @Marley2016 below 25 Reasons to Get Banned from Amazon's Affiliate Program
