Kdp AmazonReviews of kdp.amazon.com

Their lack of error messages for why your books fails to upload is driving me insane. It just says failed with no reason whatsoever.

If I could give amazon negative stars, I would. Several months back I created a KDP account, created a couple of books which were reviewed and approved by amazon, both my books went live as approved by amazon once more. I even ordered several author copies for myself which of course I had to pay for and all copies were mailed to me. As soon as I received my last copy, I went to sign on to my KDP account to only not be able to see any of my books but all I could see when I logged in was "This account has been closed". I was in shocked and decided to email them and apparently I received an email that if you do your research, a lot of people have been getting. I will paste it below so you can see.

Regards, Amazon KDP Thank you, I emailed them this information on 3/22/23 and they emailed me back the following day. I'm extremely disappointed with amazon after all the hard work that I did to make these books come to life. Just to go off topic a little bit, I also opened their credit card some years back and they closed my credit card without notifying me, mind you I have excellent credit and always pay head of time, if not, pay all of my credit card off every month. I was thrown off but left it alone since I didn't need the credit card and now this comes up. And I've read that this has happened to other people with excellent credit that opened an amazon card. On another note, I bought anything and everything on amazon constantly, have subscriptions with products for them for years. It was my go to place. Well, I'm cancelling all of my subscriptions and will not order from them anymore. I will support other businesses that want to do better and honest business. I would not recommend dealing with anything on amazon.

Nach Paragraph 5b Abs.3 UWG müssen Online-Händler darüber informieren, ob + wie sie sicherstellen, dass Kundenbewertungen von tatsächlichen Käufern stammen. Amazon aber stellt sich über das Gesetz. Als kdp-Autorin musste ich erleben, dass alle meine kdp-Titel plötzlich von globalen Bewertungen geflutet wurden, denen nachweislich keine Buchverkäufe entsprachen. Meine Rückfrage bei Amazon/kdp führte dazu, dass ich an 5 versch. Stellen verwiesen wurde, bis der Fall mit dem Hinweis, meiner Mail-Adresse sei kein Verkäuferkonto zuzuweisen, versandete. Ich kann nur jedem Selfpublisher raten, sich von kdp fernzuhalten. Zum Glück gibt es mittlerweile gute Alternativen hierzulande.

I have not signed in my KDP for quite some time. When I tried signing in, it automatically sends me to a page to put an OTC (One Time Code) in to access my account. But, it sends it to my old number, obviously of which I do not have access. The system keeps looping me back to this page no matter what I do. No number to contact them. I called Kindle. They can't help. They can't even understand what I need since I keep getting routed offshore to someone who "parrots" a phone script. I wasted over 2 hours of my day trying to update my phone number in KDP. I have no way of taking my book off of Amazon if I wanted to. ALL I NEED TO DO IS UPDATE MY PHONE NUMBER IN KDP!!!

KDP has been terminating massively publisher's accounts in error by their faulty AI Bot. There is no explanation on their side or contact with someone else than a Bot. They don't want to explain what happened just closing the account instead. When I asked for an explanation they said I manipulated services (which is not true and they don't have any proof) and "cannot offer any more details about it". So they closed my account, took my 5000£ in royalties, and don't want to explain what happened. I appealed many times saying that this must be an error and tried to explain myself but they don't even reply... I sent an email with the official complaint- again no reply. They steal the publisher's money without any explanation or contact on their side. KDP used to be a good platform but now is rubbish... So many publishers have been banned in Feb and March and KDP just took our outstanding royalties and charged us for ADS. Horrible!!

loved it; easy to use, the only downside is i could not upload the cover for the book i wanted but the team helped me solve it .

KDP terminated my account without telling me exactly what I did wrong for just one of my books; they said I had misleading information but would not tell me what exactly. They refused to pay my royalties and send generic replies to my appeals - stating they are withholding their decision to terminate my account. There is no one to talk to. Advice to potential KDP users - don't create all your books on KDP platform; if they shut down your account, they will remove all your books from the shelf and you may not recover the account back - all the hard work!

The editor posted the book with the wrong title and jacket cover. They know we changed it due to the title being too similar the work if another author. I paid for a marketing package that was not produced. They refused to correct their errors . Now I have to fix it. Out $2500 for zero editing. I would call it a scam!
