Is Your KDP Account Suspended Or Blocked

Has your KDP account been suspended or blocked? What do you do when your Kindle publishing or Createspace accounts get terminated? Find out my answer in today’s video. Recently, a viewer reached out to me with a big issue. He recently had his KDP and Createspace accounts blocked. Having made a significant income from these two sources, he was at a loss and found himself with a deep back catalog of books and no idea what to do next. Regardless of what you get your Kindle publishing or Createspace account terminated for, Amazon can do it with no real recourse. Amazon really doesn’t have to have a reason to suspend or block your KDP account. That’s why they keep their guidelines ambiguous, so they can make up the rules when it serves them best. It should be noted, there’s a difference between a suspension and termination. Amazon appears to have no hard and fast rule when it comes to account suspensions and terminations. Suspensions typically happen when Amazon determines you are in violation of their policies and guidelines. It’s essentially a slap on the hand and will last as long as they deem necessary. After their “further review” of your violation, they’ll usually reinstate your account with a stern warning. I’ve known some people to get suspended twice followed by a third strike resulting in termination. Whereas, other self publishers get an immediate termination with no exact rhyme or reason. They’ll usually get some canned response stating essentially “you know what you did.” In regard to suspensions, you typically have to just wait it out. The smartest idea is to only give information when specifically asked. In their minds, you’re guilty until otherwise proved innocent. Don’t stack any evidence against yourself by sharing more than what Amazon wants to know. Here are my recommendations should you ever have your KDP and Createspace account terminated. 1 File an Appeal 2 Consider the Alternatives 3 Do-It-Yourself Hey, these few options aren't the only way you can recover from an account termination, but it’s certainly a good start.
