I have no idea. Have you tried asking them. I know Google is notorious for being impossible to contact but I haven't heard the same about Amazon.

EDIT: On further thought I wonder if it might have something to do with the name of your site. A person might expect fahrrad-tools.com to be a site where they could buy tools, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I cannot find contact details how to ask a question. I only can find a FAQ but it also is very superficial about what could be done wrong.

So they have no appeal process for this kind of decision ?

I cannot prove it, but it looks at least like that for me. I tried googling and read all the Amazon Associates pages again to find any hint. Maybe I just wasn't smart enough to find it.

Thanks for the link. amazon.com seems to have a different process than amazon.de.

I finally found a contact page where I will send my request to: https://partnernet.amazon.de/home/contact/

I can't imagine that Amazon evaluates the domain in that way, Amazon even accepts URL paths to a personal blog where you are not the owner of the domain.
