Kdp AmazonReviews of kdp.amazon.com

Am a new beginning learning on this oil and gas business.

Either a very complex scamming operation. Or just have no respect whatsoever for authors. Immediately after I blocked people I had become sure were scammers I lost access to my account and royalties, with no clear explanation why. I was also completely blocked from using Amazon as a customer.

Ho ricevuto notifica dal direttore generale di ASCOM Confcommercio Bologna della ricezione da parte loro di 31 copie del mio Libro: La città con le tende rosse - in data 12/10/2023, ciò significa per forza che ASCOM abbia precedentemente pagato i libri. Al 16/10/2023 sul mio report kdp questa vendita non compare in toto. Ho contattato varie volte il team di specialisti kdp che ha ammesso, sempre e solo tramite e mail, di sapere che sul mio report mancano delle vendite ma non sono in grado di spiegarne la causa. Insomma, Amazon ha incassato ma la vendita non compare sul report! Se a tempo debito quando mi pagheranno per il trimestre in corso mancheranno i soldi di questa vendita sarò costretto a ricorrere alla autorità giudiziaria fornendo prove inconfutabili e testimonianze. Spero vivamente di non dovere giungere a tanto ma sottolineo che il servizio di assistenza clienti è pessimo e che le risposte che danno ai quesiti sono sempre vaghe, lacunose, come se lo scopo fosse solo quello di portare la controparte allo sfinimento e rinunciare ai propri diritti. Un muro di gomma a costo di indurre i richiedenti supporto a ricorrere alle vie legali. Basterebbe da parte loro un verifica della situazione descritta dall'utente ma a quanto pare ciò non è previsto.

I have been self-publishing under various personae on Amazon, and it has been great. Easy to order paperbacks and high-quality hardbacks to sell / give away, and the e-books are delivered seamlessly to Kindles. Of course they take a cut for all the work they (or their AI bots) do to publish the books and manage the sales, but it's a lot better than dealing with a traditional publisher if you are not a celeb / big name (I've gone down the trad publishing route in the past and I don't recommend it unless you have friends in the industry or are selling your public image rather than the story). Unlike trad publishers, the bots at Amazon KDP also root out fake reviewers (while they can be overzealous and block friends who posted honest reviews of each others' books, it is still better than the trad publishers' and book reviewers' system which is more about networking than honest reviewing).

Great experience. It's very easy to navigate and get your book listed on Amazon.

I warm everyone to give something important like a book to the hands of this company. We lost access to our kindle account and they are still selling our book without our permission, and without paying our royalties. Every time I call to ask their help they invent all sorts of excuses or they play the game of balling me through different departments. In the meanwhile they keep cashing in. They are not worth the trust to give them your important work.

KDP is the worst publisher on earth. Because Amazon is a behemoth they don't care about the customer experience. The only positive thing I can say is that they do call you back within 5-10 minutes when you request a call during business hours. You never get one person dedicated to your case. Every single time you ask for help someone different answers. I can order the same book and it will come sometimes with glossy paper sometime with matte. They'll tell you glossy paper doesn't exist but my book has come in glossy paper multiple times--they just don't allow you to select it. If I order 10 copies of my children's book half will be good, the other half will have inconsistent white borders at the bottom or sides. I go through the same exact issue every month and it's never resolved. I can't tell you how many times Ive send pictures and order IDs.. It just happens again the following month. If you are a children's book author, please do yourself a favor and avoid Amazon KDP.

The worst possible program EVER! After 1 millions emails asking them to stop debiting my bank account, as I am out of the program, here I got 155 $ debited to them. I don't know how to get out. Even Emma said I couldnt! What should I do?!? Those scammers are the worst ever they don't care about you but just about the money you got.
