Watch Next - More Reasons for KDP Account Termination: • 3 More Ways to KDP Acc...
One of the most common questions I get asked and that appear in the KDP forums are around the subject of KDP accounts terminated, banned, suspended or warned. It is a serious problem and you may be at risk without even knowing it. For many people an Amazon Kindle Publishing Account provides a significant proportion of their monthly income and is sometimes their only source of income. Therefore, it is essential to protect that account and avoid a warning, suspension as it can lead to a ban or termination. I look at the common causes of getting an account blocked and what you can do to prevent it. I discuss what you can do if you get a warning or termination and then strategies to continue earning money online.

My sales are growing month over month & I am close to $1k a week this month. I awoke this morning to a terminated account with a link to contact them. I checked my emails & there was a message about a book published 6 years ago & the content being freely available online. They requested that I remove titles with similar content. First I had to reply to the email promising to do this. Then I unpublished all of my old non selling titles - I dunno how many maybe 100 or even more. The less they have to complain about the better. I think they have too many publishers & this problem will only get worse. I intend to upload my titles to Lulu & set up a shopify store. Gotta have a backup plan.

My account had been closed today, maybe because I bought a coloring book from etsy and uploaded it. I think its not allowed to upload the same book which has been uploaded by someone else before. Another issue I had: kdp said that the statement by the author leads to confusion among buyers. But I used this name in other books which were live and had no problems. maybe a bot recognizes a lot of things as wrong that aren't wrong, and if that happens more often, you get banned. This means, you can't do anything against it, all you do could be wrong 😢

Hi Paul, really enjoying your vids..... excellent presentation skills. Super quick question. Presumably if I wanted to do some lined notebooks, squared notebooks, dotty notebooks etc and each of those with several different cover designs, that would be okay? I guess this wouldn't raise red flags for duplication issues, due to the nature of the product? Also true for record books for various hobbies? Is that okay or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

That's absolutely fine and yes, also tru for record books for different hobbies would be fine. Good idea.

@chariots8x230 3 года назад

Thank you for making this video! It is helpful, but it also leaves me with a few questions. *1)* Duplicate content seems a little bit vague. What exactly qualities as duplicate content? *2)* Also, how do they know if I have the licensing to use certain content? Do I have to enter this information somewhere to prove that I have the licensing? (maybe this is a silly question but I’m really not sure how this kind of thing works) *3)* What if I decide to make a separate account for KDP instead of using my personal account that I use to buy stuff? Would that be against the rules? I would technically only have one KDP account, even if I have 2 Amazon accounts with different login information. It’s just that one account would be only for personal use and the other for KDP. I was thinking of doing this because I don’t want to mix my personal account with KDP, but now I’m wondering if that’s against the rules.

@paulmarles 3 года назад

1. Duplicate content is one piece of content identical to another. 2. They don’t but if your content blatantly breaches trademark they will contact you or if your content gets reported they might ask for proof. 3. I would email KDP support and ask for clarification.

So if I get an email in the future, I will use this as my defense. But our portfolio is 100% different and with NO overlap in our products.

Hello Paul, my account was terminated today. The mail said it was due to my title misleading customers. I had two books published with similar titles together on the same day (both had different interiors only the 1st page was the same). One of them got a warning saying it was misleading customers and was blocked while the other was still under review. As I was dealing with the 1st book the other one went live and guess the amazon bots thought that I intentionally uploaded the same title again and terminated my account. Do you think this was a mistake and I could have my account back? Ps: the 1st book was actually automatically unblocked and went into review again on its own.

Hi Paul, I have 2 Amazon accounts but not a kdp account yet. Do I need to close one of my accounts before opening a kdp account or if I only open 1 kdp account will this be ok. I have looked at the t&c’s but can’t make sense of it. I would value your opinion, regards Mick. P.s. many thanks for all the great info vids.

If you open just one KDP that should be fine.

Each font comes with a license. It will explain it’s allowed usage in the license.

how do you recommend testing coloring book covers? Publish one copy and unpublish if it isn't a winner?

@paulmarles 3 года назад

You can change the cover without having to unpublish.

I did a review for my own book and did not know I couldn't. The Amazon account is under my husband's name and I used a pen name for the author. Also our checking accounts are seperate and are not joined. I'm so stressed they are going to ban me. I'm hoping they won't notice its me it so I can quickly delete it.

It's potentially an issue but impossible to say. I would just avoid doing it again.

Thank YOU Paul ! Unfortunately I have written a children book story for bedtime, l’ ve published the book and a few days after they send me an email to review my bank information. The email got into spam and l just find it today( after 18 days). In this time l tried to get log into my account and my book didn’t appear on, like before.. ( in the mail there was a time of 24 h to review the bank information, and then my account will be looked permanently). Do you think that can l solve this 😑? As l didn’t see the email before.. l’ m wondering if the bank information means that my card number expired, and l need to send the new card number.. I read the terms and conditions but didn’t find anything to understand this situation..thank you 🙏

Great video! Very informative, I'm a beginner and just wanna ask about the IP address reason for termination of account....I usually travel a lot, I have a personal pocket wifi, which is different from our home internet connection, will I be in trouble if use the pocket WiFi to log into my Kdp account and upload some work while out of town? Thank you!

@paulmarles Год назад

I've done that a lot with no issues so I would consider it to be fine.The problem is more often if the ip address is being sharedd by others that are also publishing on Amazon.

Hi Paul I wrote a children book and translated in three languages..if I upload the books on my kdp uk account will they be distribuited in the countries I translated the languages also?

They don’t do it automatically based on the language. You have to choose from the countries offered just before you hit publish.

@smartappeal7296 Год назад

Hi Paul, hope you're doing well and thank you for your explanation. If I use some free facebook group to promote a book through a give away during a couple of day hoping to get some reviews, do you think it can possibly be a reason for betting banned from Amazon KDP ? I've read on a group that Amazon is detecting ip adresses and may consider it as an infrigement. Do you have any clue about this question please because I read somethingand its contrary at the same time not knowing who to trust. Thank you in advance.

@paulmarles Год назад

If you're offering a free book in return for a review then yes, that is against the Terms of Service and could lead to a ban. It would be dificult to give the books away and then get a review becuase the review would then be coming from someone who hasn't actually made a purchasea dnif you were to get a bunch of those it would appear odd in the Amazon algorithm and again attract attention to your acount.

Two scenarios I've been wondering: 1. Taking a photo of something man-made such as a car or a group of objects or an item with or without a logo and using it in a photo or manipulated graphic. They do it in movies all of the time without showing the logo or paying the company to show the logo. So a recognizable car with the logo hidden, is that ok? 2. Using photo manipulation software. Say I take a picture of something and manipulate it with a filter. Is whatever is created with that filter owned by me or the filter company? This is why I only take nature photos :/

@paulmarles 2 года назад

If you take a photo through a filter I think it’s safe to say you win the copyright to that photo.

On the subject of multiple accounts, be advised that KDP will not allow you AND your spouse to both have KDP accounts. My wife and I had both of our accounts terminated for violation of the "multiple accounts" rule. They never warned us or suspended us, just terminated us. On one of the terminations, they wouldn't even state the reason for the termination. Fortunately, after some serious groveling, we were allowed to have one account reinstated - but ONLY after several appellate emails, multiple rejections from KDP, and more appellate emails. We had NO idea how serious of an offense this was.

@giorgiadallavalle 3 года назад

Hello Paul! Hope you can help me. I just got my account suspended for the low-quality issue. KDP say that they receive complaints from the client but this is impossible because the book was even online. Also, the quality of cover and interior was good, because I am a graphic designer. I suspect that what they call low quality, and bad client experiences, are related to the fact the low content book I upload was similar to others already there and had a similar title. It was a book to write a password in it. It's that possible? I now I am kinda scared because I don't seem to get what you can and cannot do. It seems to me that they are trying to block new low content account ( they were the first low content book I upload) and the quality assurance system is really obscure. Have some advice?

@bigbodreampack 3 года назад

Same for me ! I just received the notification that my account was suspended because of "complaints" for books which never sold .. I am totally frustrated

@bigbodreampack 3 года назад

@Giorgia - Have you recently received any mail from KDP which says: "Action needed for one of your books" ? That´s what happened to me.. The changes which were requested by KDP could not be made from my side (Author name was a Keyword and Author data cannot be changed after submission) and therefore they ended up suspending my account temporarily I guess... Let´s see if I manage to get it back somehow.

@giorgiadallavalle 3 года назад

Yes! I was asked to change the author name of three book, but only one of them was available to be modified, the other two were still pending. So i reply to that email saying I fixed the problem for one of them, but i wasn't unablw to take action for others. Then they send me that email that the two book i wasnt able to fix were violating their quality and get the suspension.

@bigbodreampack 3 года назад

@@giorgiadallavalle - So then both of us had the same issue .. let´s hope our accounts get "unbanned" - KDP told me that they expect a response mail from my side, saying that my future books will be compliant with KDP´s quality requirements and they also requested a proposal that I will remove the "flagged" books.. let´s hope for the best.. but honestly speaking.. this is kind of frustrating as we both tried to make that change in our meta data in order to solve that. It just feels unfair. - I will let you know if my account got unbanned - what about you? Do you have the chance to get your account unbanned?
