Kdp AmazonReviews of kdp.amazon.com

This company KDP Amazon is the worst I have ever had the unpleasure of dealing with in my whole internet life!! They are a huge company with no phone number first of all! 2nd of all how many times and again does everyone have to validate to KDP that they are who they show on their specific Valid Drivers License! And Now Again and again and again and again after 4 different emails that I have used to try and get a lucky hit. And during a 3 month spand of time I figured maybe this time (just today) this dumb AI will except my Valid NJ Drivers License, and yes I am a U.S Citizen since the day I was born in the U.S! And so this day I anxiously tried again to see if another email of mine will workout.. Nope everything was fine until I tried to verify my Real Valid Drivers License again, and of course this AI wont except it, like every other pass times through the months and different email accounts, it just does not want to accept it! And not only that your whole account gets permanently shut down of making any money because of this horrible flaw in their AI software, that is determining if you are valid or not.. But also the time and frustration of getting an account and up is almost not worth it for me!! And here's an example, today AGAIN this software told me that my Valid Drivers License does not have the same name as my account, well yes it does! This outdated AI system they have is flawed! Fix it PLEASE!!!! You are probably losing a lot of unhappy potential customers because of this! P.S why not have at least a live person chat to help unsatisfied people to help with mishaps like this?? Or at least change this flawed software system!!!!

Pour avoir été auteur pendant des années, je quitte la plateforme. Le contenu est envahi d'ouvrages écrits avec de l'IA au contenu médiocre voire faux soutenu par de la manipulation marketing assez caractéristique (auteur bidon, mauvaises catégories pour améliorer le classement artificiellement, faux commentaires initiaux pour inciter à l'achat, publicité agressive...). Malheureusement Amazon KDP ne fait pas grand chose pour limiter le problème, on se retrouve avec une concurrence déloyale qui fait baisser le niveau et qui profite uniquement aux escrocs du marketing.... Quel dommage !

Mi chiamo Alberto e scrivo per segnalare quanto accaduto a una cara amica, che chiamerò semplicemente A.K., autrice indipendente con una lunga esperienza su KDP. Dopo mesi di lavoro onesto e trasparente, l’account è stato chiuso improvvisamente, senza alcuna spiegazione chiara. Nessuna prova. Solo accuse vaghe, poi riformulate più volte: prima contenuti non conformi (non specificati), poi presunto multi-account (senza mostrare alcun collegamento oggettivo). Dopo l’intervento di un legale, è seguito il silenzio più totale. Anche le successive pec rimaste prive di risposte. A dire il vero una cosa inquietante su una pec, visto che la pec non è facilemte rintracciabile, evento assurdo: strane minacce in stile “sextortion” (arrivate proprio in coincidenza con l’azione legale). Una coincidenza inquietante, troppo perfetta per non sollevare dubbi. Il tono delle (poche) risposte ricevute da KDP è stato sempre arrogante, freddo, come se l’autore fosse un minus habens. Nessun rispetto, nessuna reale volontà di dialogo. La piattaforma, che dovrebbe essere un ponte per gli autori, si comporta come una fortezza inespugnabile, piena di potere e completamente priva di trasparenza. Centinaia di segnalazioni simili a questa si trovano già qui su Trustpilot. Ma nessuno da Amazon risponde. Nessuno smentisce. Nessuno chiarisce. Mi chiedo: perché tanta arroganza? Perché tanto silenzio? Forse perché sanno che la maggior parte degli autori si sente sola e non ha gli strumenti per difendersi. Non si tratta solo di un account chiuso. Si tratta di dignità, di correttezza, e di fiducia tradita. Se sei un autore su KDP, sappi che potresti perdere tutto da un giorno all’altro. Senza spiegazioni. Senza appello. E senza che nessuno, lì dentro, ti tratti come una persona.

Cancel culture at kdp is in full swing! No wonder they have not claimed this trust pilot account. It reveals them for what they really are. Beware, they have an enormous sense of entitlement to go with their 80% market share and they will set their own self righteous standards of acceptable conduct for kdp books based on their own interpretation of their rules. Then, when they deem you violated them, accidentally or knowingly, 1st time or 50th, they will ban your account for life with a generic and vague reason. They will ask you to be honest and plead your case and after you spend 3 hours on your meticulous email to them explaining yourself, they will send you a 3 line email saying you violated their guidelines and will be banned. Understand this is a very possible reality if they don't like your content, before you dream of making your full time income selling on kdp. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, HOW MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOUR WORK, OR THAT YOU ARE A NEW AUTHOR WHO MADE AN HONEST OR SIMPLE MISTAKE. They will tell you it was your responsibility to know the rules, yet they are the ones who decide when a violation has occurred, so nothing is clear and straightforward but left up to their own individual judgements of when a violation has occurred. I was having great momentous success with a book series that was taking off, until Sofia decided that I violated their terms and permanently banned my account. No warning, no suspension, no communication or negotiating or compromising or informing me of the rule with a stern 2nd chance, although she tried to make it seem like she was willing to work with me. Just woke up to a lifetime ban for violating their terms and misleading their customers? Despite all my work being created by AI. That's exactly who and what you are dealing with here with KDP. You could have a 5 figure income selling ebooks through them for years and then one day they decide they don't like something you upload or uploaded years ago and they just delete your account like they are throwing their garbage away. Be very clear, before you put your time selling on KDP, that this is a very real possibility. You can tell they don't like their authors, they have a sense of conviction towards them. Any way they can get rid of you. No mercy. Like cutting a toddlers hands off for stealing, they will give you a lifetime ban over a very small violation and will make it seem like you stole millions from them. They are cruel and harsh, and I am really grateful this happened now and not once I had hundred of books on KDP. Sofia was sure to tell me I couldn't make another account either or they would further ban me and they would take all my sales if I tried. I told her, that was all she could do, her power ended there. That my books live on with other sites. So quit power tripping and enjoy the review Sofia. They treat me like I'm the worst type of person, i'm disgusted and done with KDP, as I can see many are. Over next to nothing they bully you to satiate their own overgrown egos. Good riddance to you KDP.

Amazon Kdp have a so called strict policy against people buying and selling kdp accounts, but are still letting company brokers advertise and sell accounts for big amounts, brokers like Flippa and Empire! At the same time KDP are also ignoring abnormalities and fraud in big selling kdp accounts, while being tough or cancelling low income accounts for no reason. Seems very corrupt to me. And also they are impossible to get in contact with, no customer service, no assistance.

Before I begin this review I have been associated with them since their very launch and createspace days and when their reports were good and clear and now their reports are scammy and fudged so they can underreport the sales and scam you. Initial years when createspace was there it was good and as time passed they have become complete thieves. my total sales generated on the platform is in six digits so I know what I am talking. As I have a website and I run a promotion and I have readers coming back to me I know that I did sales for 56000 in the two months prior and the same was visible in reports but now they have suddenly decreased my royalty payment and only 15000 is showing as payable and from my website I know and the community members tell me that there is serious under reporting of sales as my readers can click on a button to tell me they have purchased so my website tells me I have sales of 56000 and the kdp software also was confirming the same but when royalty report is generated suddenly 2/3 royalties have disappeared. This is pure theft and scam. Apart from this 1. Kdp has their own authors they promote and their own books which are promoted well and it earns for Amazon 2. Indie authors they limit how much they can sell and your book will never be visible 3. They limit your payments 4. They steal your royalties if they think they are too much and they will put that in their own other accounts as there is no watchdog 5. They have already done a billion dollar scam plus and they need to be reported to DEA and other authorities for theft, manipulation and jail time for those running the indie authors divison. Every author needs to report them to FBI, DEA, agencies for the biggest scam in history, accounts must be checked. 6. The new reports are in place so that they can hide all the information, and the new reports they can fudge easily and steal from you. 7. when a new book is launched here it never shows now It is better everyone quit this scam and do other things as the good old days party of kdp is over and they are pure scammers, manipulators and thieves.

Mi trovo costretta a scrivere questa recensione dopo mesi di silenzio da parte del supporto di Amazon KDP. Ho avuto il mio account sospeso erroneamente il 2 ottobre 2024, e successivamente chiuso definitivamente il 21 ottobre 2024, a causa di contenuti trovati gratuitamente su piattaforme esterne senza il mio consenso. Non appena sono venuta a conoscenza della violazione, ho preso immediatamente provvedimenti per rimuovere le copie non autorizzate e ho fornito tutte le documentazioni necessarie, inclusa la prova di copyright. Nonostante le mie continue e ripetute email e richieste di assistenza, sono stata completamente ignorata dal supporto KDP. Ho inviato più email, ho seguito tutte le istruzioni, ma la mia situazione non è stata mai risolta. Il trattamento che sto ricevendo è frustrante e ingiusto. Ho lavorato per anni con Amazon KDP, pubblicando libri di crescita personale, aiutando i lettori e seguendo sempre le linee guida della piattaforma. Mi sento completamente abbandonata, senza alcun rispetto per il mio lavoro e per le legittime preoccupazioni che ho sollevato. Sono emotivamente ed economicamente stressata da questa situazione. Mi aspettavo un trattamento più giusto, considerando il mio impegno come autrice e il mio rapporto di lunga data con Amazon. Ma ora, dopo mesi senza risposte concrete, mi trovo a dover cercare supporto altrove. Chiedo urgentemente che il mio caso venga esaminato e che il mio account venga ripristinato. Non voglio continuare a essere ignorata. Questo comportamento da parte di Amazon KDP è inaccettabile, e spero che altri autori possano prendere nota della mia esperienza.

Follow up. They kept stringing me along asking me to continually correct manuscript. I'm too busy to do this. I thought for the $AUD1000 I paid they would do this. Now they want another $500 (which I will not pay) to proceed! Is there a side scam going on? Does anyone know Gary Maxwell, Managing Editor?
