I hit the "Appeal Termination" button in the KDP help section and got back an IMMEDIATE reply that says "We are confident your account is related to another account that was terminated." SABR's never had another account. So some unrelated pirate account torpedoed us both. https:/

@whyilikebb @amazon @sabr Cecelia - why are you using KDP to publish in the first place? It does not seem the best choice for SABR in any case. 134 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Self-publishing advocate @DaveChesson has some advice on the Kindlepreneur site on what to do if @AmazonHelp has suspended your KDP account. But it says "termination" like this is difficult to reverse without the expensive help of a good lawyer. Argh. https://t.co/RDWUIkLyfj

...but it's made me wonder if someone else is pirating the content of our books and repackaging them and uploading them to KDP. And instead of catching the pirate, sometimes they "catch" who the pirate was ripping off. That's the only thing I can think of that might cause this? 329 views · 6 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

The email from Amazon states our termination was also due to being "related to" another account that was terminated for violating the TOS. SABR has been publishing baseball books for over 50 years (!) and is a venerable book publisher... and not "related to" any other company. ht

Well, here's a shocking development. I logged in to @amazon today to upload a new @SABR book (sneak peek at the cover below...) and discovered our KDP account has been TERMINATED. The email says it's because we have been running multiple KDP accounts (we haven't). https://t.co/S
