I've just logged into my Amazon Associates Account, which I haven't done for a while, only to discover that it has been closed. I saw the notice below, after I signed in to the account :
I've googled why my Amazon Associates account was closed and I realized that it was closed simply because I missed the COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) email that Amazon sent to me last year.
In the email, I was required to declare that none of my sites are directed at children under 13 and it was clearly stated in it, that accounts that fail to complete the declaration by October 31, 2015 will be closed.
If you also missed the mail and didn't take the required action, I can bet that is the reason why your account was closed. You can search your mail for "Child Directed Policy" to confirm.
The Amazon associates account cannot be reinstated but you can reapply by creating new amazon associates account with all the same login details including same email and billing address. You will be issued a new associate ID though.
I now have to pay better attention to my emails. lol.
If you’ve experienced this, let me know in the comments on how you got it resolved.

Please how did you manage with the phone verification from Amazon Associates? I have tried several Nigerian numbers yet I am unable to receive their phone verification call.
