I used images from Amazon, and got my account approved.
I think you just can't take images from amazon reviews section.
I'm not sure though. It just worked for me with product images provided by the seller on Amazon.

Thank you! I will use the Amazon images then
 
Do not use images from Amazon unless you are using thier API.

AAWP is what most people recommend.

AAWP requires API Key. Since she is new to Amazon Affiliate, she may not have the API key available.
Edit: Me and my friend got 2 accounts approved with images downloaded from Amazon.
 
I'm using images from Amazon, hosted on my server, and got my account approved. I'm not sure if this is really allowed, but I did it because otherwise they get hidden by ad blockers. If you're worried, then you can use images hosted by Amazon. After you sign up as an affiliate, you'll see a toolbar at the top of product pages. It will give you HTML code for the images.
 
When creating your main image, take a look at Amazon's guidelines:
the photo should only display the main product that the buyer will receive - without the use of texts, logos, watermarks;
the photo must be professional;
photo is placed on a white background;
must have an extension of at least 1000 pixels in order to maintain clarity when increasing it;
the product should occupy 80% of the photo area, the rest falls on the background;
product drawings and illustrations are not permitted;
be only in RGB color mode;
conform to acceptable file formats - JPEG, TIFF, or GIF. JPEG is preferred;
books, music, video / DVD images must show the cover and fill 100% of the picture frame;
a total of 9 images are allowed

Those are guidelines for sellers, not affiliates.

Using Amazon images with out using the API is against their guide lines. Sure some of you do it and that's great. I would not risk my account over something so easy to implement properly.
 
If you take images from Amazon then there might a chance to lost your account. I have seen that many people has already lost their account. Use API to get image of any product that will good and for this you can use AAWP plugin.
 
If you read their guidelines you will find out that using their images it's against their rules and might get your account suspended. Yet, many affiliates use their images without any issue, but I've read a lot on this subject and saw many affiliates who got their account suspended because they used their images. If you plan to build some long term income with them, I would strongly recommend not to use their images. Here's what I do and I'd suggest you do too: Take the product name from amazon and do a search on google images for that product. Most of the time you will find that product on the manufacturer website, walmart, ebay, aliexpress, or on other websites rather than amazon. Skip the websites where you think are using the same image as amazon, or use similar product images if you by no chance find that product on another website. It won't be as fastest as you download the images directly from amazon, but it won't take that much time eighter, but the most important thing is that your account is safe. Good luck!
 
You are allowed to use their images, providing

You do not edit or modify the image.

So you need to upload it like it is from the amazon website. And you must be using it on the page where you are promoting that product.

What you cant do, is say "top 5 lawnmowers" then rip 5 lawnmower pictures of amazon, and combine them.

After you create your account as an affiliate in amazon there you will have an option "stipe" for taking the images of the product.
