    Good morning, Let me introduce myself, I'm ************************* and I'm a self-publisher (I publish books and eBooks under a pseudonym and collect royalties mainly in the American market "amazon.com" and Canadian "amazon.ca") that I sell through Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). Unfortunately a few days ago Amazon KDP sent me an email accusing me of having another KDP account in the past that they had closed (on KDP it is forbidden to have multiple accounts associated with the same person) and consequently they permanently closed my account, thus losing hundreds of books published in almost 5 years and obviously not even paying me the royalties to which I am entitled for the last 2 months (Amazon KDP pays every 60 days). Amazon KDP does not want to provide me with any additional information, so I have been accused of having done something that I am not responsible for, they do not want to provide me with evidence of this and I should accept that my account that generates over $23,000 every month is closed and that they do not even pay me for the last 2 months. I wanted to understand if it was possible (and possibly the times and costs) to do something and somehow recover the closed account or at least recover the payment of the missing royalties to which I am entitled (about $******). Surely the Amazon KDP automatic system did some checks and it turned out that my kdp account and some of my personal information were WRONGLY associated with other KDP accounts closed in the past.This is totally unfair, also the Amazon KDP support is not answering me anymore.I want my KDP account to be reactivated and consequently I will also receive the royalties that I have already generated and that Amazon KDP is unfairly withholding (about ****** which are exactly the last two months).The email associated with my KDP account is ***********************************************

    This company. Scammed me out of $4900 a year ago i pay for a marketing package that hasn't done much of anything at all to help in me getting sales on my books. This company's social media team even got my ******* account suspended because of Spam activity. I always get the run around and they said I couldn't get a refund until the end of the marketing. But I've gotten no sales at all still. Well, and nothing of that marketing package has been fulfilled. They just tell lies and they don't follow through with anything. They say they're going to do very frustrated. Hoping for a refund eventually.
