1Amazon me acusó de "imitar" un título. Mientras, vende decenas de libros con títulos IDÉNTICOS al mío —uno con 2.000 reseñas— varios publicados DESPUÉS de cerrarme la cuenta. La norma solo se aplicó a mí. @IdiazAyuso #Amazon #Autores

Nobody talks about the darkest side of Amazon KDP. A friend of mine struggled for months. Wrote a solid 4–5 book series, took risks, ran ads, and worked tirelessly. Last month: $1,000+ This month: Another $1,000+ First time hitting $2k in his life. The feeling was unmatched. Then out of nowhere, account terminated. The most painful part? It almost always happens right between the 18th and 21st, just days before payout. The bot sweeps run, a vague email drops, and months of grind vanish overnight while ad bills are still sitting there. Social media makes self-publishing look like pure passive income: "Upload a book and print dollars." The harsh reality: • One tiny metadata or keyword mistake can trigger an automated ban. • You’re arguing with bot auto-replies, not real people. • You build on borrowed land with zero safety nets. It hurts deeply when you finally find a working strategy and the platform pulls the rug. To everyone pushing through the heartbreak of terminations: take a breath, learn from the trigger, and keep building. This game requires thick skin. Good morning Fams

Madre sola de 3 hijos. 12 años ganándome la vida escribiendo. Amazon me lo quitó todo de un día para otro, sin avisar y sin explicar por qué. He escrito +100 correos y nadie responde. @IdiazAyuso, ¿de verdad no hay a quién acudir? #Amazon #Autores

Amazon está en Luxemburgo, así que me dicen que los tribunales españoles no pueden actuar. Resido y tributo en Madrid, pero quedo indefensa ante una multinacional que retiene mi dinero. @IdiazAyuso, nos pasa a muchos autores españoles. #Amazon #DSA

Amazon cerró mi cuenta de autora y me dejó sin ingresos. En 4 meses NUNCA he hablado con una persona: solo respuestas automáticas que no contestan mis preguntas. ¿Es legal que una empresa te arruine y te responda un bot? @IdiazAyuso #DSA #Amazon

Llevo 12 años como autora en @AmazonKDP. El 15 de mayo cerraron mi cuenta por "imitar" un libro que NUNCA han identificado. Retienen 14.000 € que ya gané. Soy madre sola de 3 hijos. @IdiazAyuso, ¿alguien puede ayudar a una autora madrileña? #Amazon #Autores

RT @ajassy 12-year @AmazonKDP author. On 15 May you terminated my account for “imitating” a book you have never identified—across three notices and a legal letter. All my titles were removed, my earned royalties withheld, and my appeal rejected in just 1 hour. Meanwhile, identical titles remain on sale. @AmazonHelp Case #49776730 — please help. @ajassy @JeffBezos @AmazonKindle

After 12 years publishing on @AmazonKDP, my account was terminated on 15 May for allegedly "imitating" a book Amazon has never identified—not in three account notices, my appeal, or a solicitor's legal letter. Every one of my books was removed. My earned royalties were withheld. My appeal was rejected in about an hour, with no explanation or evidence. Meanwhile, highly similar books remain on sale. I'm simply asking for due process: tell me which book I allegedly copied so I can understand or challenge the decision. @AmazonHelp Case #49776730 I'd appreciate any assistance or visibility from @AndyKasey and others in the KDP community.

🚨 PLEASE READ AND SHARE — even if you don’t know me. Every repost could help this reach a journalist, lawyer, or consumer-rights organisation. After 12 years publishing through Amazon KDP, my account was permanently terminated over an unpublished pre-order. No manuscript was uploaded. The book was never published. No customer ever saw it. Amazon has confirmed that it will not reinstate my account, while my royalties remain withheld. Today, I filed legal proceedings in the Spanish courts. I am seeking journalists, lawyers, and consumer-rights organisations willing to review the evidence. Please contact me if you can help. This situation has seriously affected my health, and my children’s housing is now at risk.

Amazon terminated my KDP account after 12 years. Yet one author has published 103 books in the same series using the same title formula, all accepted by Amazon KDP. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting after 9 weeks for a meaningful human review or an explanation of what policy I allegedly violated. Can someone explain how both of these things can be true? @Amazon @AmazonKDP @ajassy @JeffBezos #AmazonKDP #KDP #IndieAuthor #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfX Please RT.
