AMAZON KDP beware of their deceptive practices. I had an account for two years, spent quite alot of money and time on their ads and never came out ahead. I do not know why i wasted my time. I worked hard publishing over 50 books. My account was terminated over one book and i could not get a straight answer as to why. Amazon kept my royalties, refused to respond to my inquires and continued to try to charge my card for ads after my account was terminated. I think they need to be investigated for fraud. I would never do business with them again in any form. Jeannette Azar

I paid 149 at the beginning and decided it’s better to not go through with this company. I called for a refund and everything seemed okay and I was told I’d get a call back about going through with the refund. I got no call back so I tried calling all the numbers I was given for them and all of them have been disconnected. I’m currently trying to get my money back from the bank through disputing the transaction.

English is not their first language, so don't expect much more than a scam. Would you give your business to a publisher who's English language is so poor they can't even get a simple sentence right - Read their page intro image! = "Publish Your Book With Us In Just $199". I think they are sitting in a call center in Delhi India somewhere, LMAO......

Une catastrophe ! Les étapes pour s'inscrire sont nombreuses et si complexes que parvenir au bout de ce parcours du combattant est un exploit ! Mais ce n'est rien quand on veut publier un livre... Les formats sont nombreux mais il n'y a même pas le classique A5. Quant à réussir à quitter ce bazar... J'ai demandé, je vais bien voir comment ça se passe. À fuir de toute urgence !

My experience with Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) was a nightmare. I published three books through their platform. On December 2, they terminated my account, overpriced my books, and continued selling them worldwide without my consent. In four months, I received only £6.45 in royalties. My books are still available for sale, but only for their profit. I attempted to recover my books by submitting takedown requests to Amazon's copyright service and contacting their managers, but unfortunately, nothing changed. If you're considering starting a writing career, consider finding an alternative and avoiding Amazon Kindle in all its forms.

Ho pubblicato i miei libri digitali nel 2021, esattamente 6 libri, dopo 3 anni hanno chiuso definitivamente il mio account accusandomi di aver violato le loro normative, a distanza di 6 mesi ho aperto un altro account kdp e pubblicato uno dei miei libri, stessa storia, prima ha superato tutti i controlli e l' hanno pubblicato regolarmente, poi mi hanno chiuso anche questo dicendo che avendomi chiuso il vecchio account non posso aprirne altri, dopo varie email che ho mandato ad Amazon dicendo che non avevo infranto nessuna regola e che i miei ebook erano scritti di mio pugno e per mia esperienza personale, hanno confermato la loro decisione di bloccare i miei account, pessimo sistema e privo di prove per lo meno riguardo il mio blocco e sottolineo (dopo 3 anni che vendevo da loro) ..

They removed my books and cancelled my account, stating that I "tried to manipulate" the sales. I asked them why is that and what did I do. They said, they uphold their decision. I asked 7 times, always got the same template message. No real answer. I asked for their supervisory body's details. Also no answer. I've also been banned for life (!) to open a new account. Without any reason. No answer, no reason, nothing. Just someone banned and I can't do anything. It seems like they are above the law.

Absolute scam and terrible customer service. I don't know why it's so hard for amazon to have book customer service when they do billions of packages just fine but can't figure out how to help authors? literally have wasted over 2 hours for 5 different people not able to tell me why the book is printing differently than preview by wide margin and colors are terrible. This appears to be a big scam with the 30% payout to authors and high print costs. A $9.99 you make .87 cents and amazon makes $9. BS the govt needds to step in and protect consumers from this predatory company raking in billions and soon trillions off the public.
