There may also be a minimum waiting period of 30 days after your last sale or purchase before you can close the account, in order to make sure everything has gone through and there are no outstanding fees.
After submitting your request, you will no longer be able to make purchases, although you will be able to access your account information for a while. This means your account is in the waiting period before permanent closure. During this waiting period, you can have your account reinstated by contacting customer services.
