Thank you Paul, I saw that video. My particular project has not been uploaded onto Kindle yet or KDP whatever they call it I have a company doing the formatting editing proofreading and cover I was just looking for assistance on uploading it myself or having a professional like yourself help me upload it onto Amazon platforms I was just curious what your fee would be if there is such a thing that you do for people

[@deanatureshop6431]

I would not claim so confidently that there is always a reason when you do not actually know people's cases. I have NO more than one account, I DID NOT use any trademarks, I DID NOT used same content. I DID NOT publish low quality or author names books. I DID NOT receive email ..in the inbox or in the spam folder. Just tried to log in and my account was closed. I could log in but it was closed. It said access removed and account closed....that is all I could see when I logged in. So this video is not so accurate

[@gareththomas3234]

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 Then I unpublished all of my old non selling titles - I dunno how many maybe 100 or even more.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 😢

Violation of terms was the only answer that came in first email..

[@heathjarvis2362]

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.

[@paulmarles]

Thank you for sharing. Glad to hear you got one of your accounts back.

[@dominio2011]

PAUL I need your help. I just got my KDP account terminated today. Here’s the thing, when I first completed my first book, my book publisher was the one selling it with through their KDP account. They didn’t meet our contract requirements so we ended our contract together. Then I created my own KDP account and started selling my book on my own on Amazon. The termination email says my account is related to an account previously terminated. Do you think this could have anything to do with the termination? I need help please!!!! 😢 🙏🏼

[@sorjourn_joaquin]

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.

[@paulmarles]

Without knowing the title of the book and specific detials it's difficult to say. Once an account is terminated it is very difficult to get back. The only thing you can do is contact KDP support.

Thank you Paul, for this video. I received an alert email Monday 12. June 2023 11PM and 60min later I received an email with a suspension of my account - even though the first email granted me 5 days to make the modifications they asked for. I saw this in the morning and with the account saying closed, I have had no chance to amend anything..... I have emailed them back and not heard anything thus far.... very very frustrating :) Strangely I can see that Amazon is still selling 2 of my books... I thought when the account is suspended all my products would be suspended ? - have you come across this ? I guess I just have to wait and see if I receive a reply. Would you recommend I try alternative platforms like IngramSpark, Etzy or Barnes Nobles ? Thank you again for all your guidance, Inge

I got a termination email and I have NO idea why. I'm wondering: IF someone knew you were selling books on Amazon and they wanted to cause you trouble, COULD they open an account, with an invented email and YOUR name, so you would have two accounts open, even though you don't know about it, and THAT'S why you got terminated?

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]

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.

I'm targeting a certain set of keywords for my books that I like putting as the title of my book.

The interior contents are reflected precisely by what's in the title. Mahalo.

Yu can do that but I would perhaps target a different but related keyword with each book. Your books then wouldn't be competing with each other and one particular keyword may get more traction than you would expect.

Still great info a year later. Quick question on dupe content.. I have some teen/adult activity books.. with various puzzles, 2-sided pages and including a few select coloring pages (8-10), but want to also use those coloring pages in a much larger themed coloring-only book (say 36+ images) on premium paper, one-sided for the serious coloring buffs. Would that be a problem? Not sure if that's an issue.

Could potentially be an issue with duplicate content. If the books are aimed at a different market and they are mixed up with others it may be fine. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

Hey Paul love your video's. I have Made almost 10 books now and some of them I have been using interiors from creative fabrica. I have noticed that some of my books have the same interior as other books in the same keyword. Is this ok? Will I run into issues in the future? The book in question is a Log book fyi

[@paulmarles]

If it’s a log book it should be ok.

[@giorgiadallavalle]

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]

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]

@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]

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]

@@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?

[@giorgiadallavalle]

@@bigbodreampack I think yes. They told me to reply that I will improve the quality of my content, and I did it. But I also reply to the email that was requesting actions because I did explain there I was unable to make the changes they want to. Their reply was vague. I keep checking if the books became available to change until today that I receive the suspension notification. Seem quite unfair to me too. I will check on you as soon as I get a reply.

Hi Paul I have a quastion plz. I just knew that my wife used my phone to create her KDP account in which I created my acount the first time. Does that count as having multiple account ? Knowing that her account is not active she does not log in and never published anything. Plz a really need an answer and a satisfying one plz

[@paulmarles]

I don’t know.

[@lunathinkstoo]

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]

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.

[@sohanurrahmanrimon103]

My KDP are banned for trademark issue. Have any way to back account?

[@paulmarles]

Not usually I'm afraid. They are very strict on trademark infringement.

[@bellashiny9763]

Hi! I was terminated in Merch by Amazon 3years ago and now Im considering to try KDP. Do you think I should make a different KDP account with whole new information like name, address, bank info etc since it's also controlled by Amazon? your answer would be really helpful!

[@paulmarles]

I think you would be ok.

[@lisamcintosh4800]

I don't want to use my personal amazon account. Can I make a business account?

[@paulmarles]

I would write to KDP to confirm it in writing.

Hi Paul, if I use free canva images, will it be called as infringement?

[@paulmarles]

Check the canva licensing page.

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.

[@paulmarles]

If you open just one KDP that should be fine.

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?

[@paulmarles]

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

[@linhanhoffical1421]

Great tips. Thanks

[@paulmarles]

You’re welcome.

[@SimranSweetsim1598Seth]

@paul. If I make plain note books with simple plain lines and having multiple covers, then also KDP will ban the account?

[@BrettSirrell]

What stops you from just opening up a new account with new details etc

[@paulmarles]

Against Amazon’s terms of service and they will just close your new account.

Will do.

If I have 20 books with different cover and the same content (120 line pages), will I be banned? Line page is low content book and all the books are the same content and number of page. Can I reuse content page of low content book?

That’s fine be with a lined interior.

Lined pages are fine.

I know that I opened an account under a different email address a while ago so thanks for the heads up! The issue I have is that I was going to get mine going and then show my parents how to do their own account and we live together. How can they terminate if the accounts have different names and bank accounts?

You should be ok especially if you make sure to use different email addresses.

[@splatterdaynightmares]

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]

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