Yes it is, you will receive the money by 28 or 29. When did you create your KDP account?

Are you sure? Check your bank payment details, if there's nothing there, it will bounce back. Use grey.co app, watch YouTube videos to see how to use it.


I don't use any tools.

Pls lulú book st0re is asking for one time fee of $5 to publish my book. What do you think? Is it a worthwhile investment?

I tried to register on barne and noble but after registering, they asked me to verify my account. While at it, I was given a list of countries to select but Nigeria is not among the options.

Who have been in a similar situation? Help me guys

I don't think Nigeria is accepted there, you need the address of any of those countries.

LoL, Dem don attribute and connect the name NIGERIA to FRAUD & SCAMS, very unfortunate. A friend of mine went to D2D and he used his friends details that lives in one of the he (Black countries ) l used the Word black countries to Hide the (guys and the countries identity that he used to publish his books) and D2D helped him distribute the book to B&N, Kobo, and more than 12 publishing channels globally, they even helped him to place the book on several library platforms globally.
I doubted it initially but when he opened his laptop and showed me everything, l felt so sad 😢 for genuine Authors in Nigeria who are suffering innocently of what some working boys have cause due to FRAUD and Scams related matters in the past , nawaooo

See as this thread take die.. nawa oo


Anyway, I have a question guys..

Last month, Amazon said sent a payment to my account but I didn't input any bank account, could it be that my account has been hacked?

I even saw the ending of the account number in my dashboard

Hello

This new kdp policy for Nigerians to update their tax info.

How should we go about it?

Hello

This new kdp policy for Nigerians to update their tax info.

Just tell them you don't have TIN and allow them cut their tax
Or you still fill in your TIN if you have any

I uploaded 2 books(book 1 and 2) a week today. 2 days later, i edited the content to link up to two books (you know something like.. if you enjoy this book, here is lînk for book 2)

Now, I clicked submit and went to sleep. But wen i woke in the morning, volume 1 went live but volume 2 was blocked(something that was live before o.. and had even sold more copies than volume 1.. infact it top the new release in that category)

I'm pained because I didn't break any rule. Other publishers books were topping that category before mine(volume 2) started topping. I didn't do any black seo.. I used same keywords for book 1 and book 2

I sent an appeal yesterday explaining that the blocked book is a sequel to the first book and that I only added lînk to each book so that readers can easily find (book 1 or book 2.. depending on which one they're reading)

And tey promised to get back to me. Now, i just received a mail that they're upholding their decision due to a disappointing customer experience shvt..


My anger is that this book in question is a sequel to another book.. and the volume 1 is selling like mad.. and the link(which will show not available) to volume 2(blocked book) is inside..

What do i do please?


Though I've sent another appeal but I'm afraid because it might change nothing because Amazon rectifies fault later wen it's too late.

So am asking, should i just change title and subtitle and re-upload the book(as book 2)?

superonyi ilegendd cheehumer Predestin Emceecee AngelicBeing and other publishing gurus in the house pls helo me out.. don't ignore pls 🙏🏼🙏🏼😭

@ComeComing, forget about it. You're talking to a bot, you will keep getting that same automated responses. These big companies don't care.

I'm sorry but be careful with the account. Once the bot flags your book down and blocks it, every book you upload will be automatically blocked.

Jesus Christ. Are you serious?

Do you advise to create new account?


I can be careful in doing that?

SuperOnyi:






One of our books were blocked. We are pausing publishing for a month, I don't know what to expect but I can only hope and pray for the best. We sent an email apologizing and asked them to delete the book, they replied and at the end, added something about being happy to have us publishing.

As a Newbie, stay away from True Crime especially if it was also written by a big author. It's even worse if it was recently.

how did this later end? were you allowed to continue publishing?

i tried publishing a book yesterday and it was blocked (first time amazon is blocking my book) and i don't know what to do or what to expect. please guys, i need your advice.

Live chat their support center from your dashboard. Tell them the book is of top quality and you want it to be reviewed properly, just be polite about it

Let Me give u an advise which I know u will likely not heed to: FORGET ABOUT THAT ACCOUNT AND LEAVE EVERYTHING LIKE THAT THE WAY IT IS, LOG OUT COMPLETELY AND KEEP RECEIVING YOUR MONEY AND CHECKING MAILS....IF YOU MUST CONTINUE PUBLISHING, GET A NEW DEVICE WITH NEW DETAILS AND INTERNET SOURCE AND CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT TO CONTINUE YOUR BUSINESS (Create new books)... I know why am telling u diz, stop pursuing that book, shutdown your emotions else you'll loose your account very soon... In fact, you are very close to loosing it presently if u dont take this advice...

I've listened to your advice sir. Once I get another device next month, I'll will create another account in December and do the needful. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I just received this mail from Amazon. I put a grey $$ bank account early last month.. which was even approved by grey then. I'm now confused on wat to do with this mail 🤔

Prior to this, Amazon sent around $5 to the account and grey took about $2 leaving $3.. which is still there.

Nice advice there.

But I guess kdp is f*u**d for Nigerians.

Because of this issue I got a new device, new internet and all. New books.


But guess what?

Any book I upload would be blocked.

Reason?

The vague "misleading customer experience"


Kdp wasn't like this back then, I wonder where this misleading customer experience sh**t is coming from.


Now what's the guarantee that if I get another new device and start all over it won't be the same?


Mehn, kdp is f**ucked for Nigerians.

What's the hope of a hustler that wants to earn online?

Bro,I'm Just tired.
All My investment in kdp this year has been messed up
Like I'm just confused and heartbroken
Earning online for Nigerian's is soo hard now

So guys i asked AI some questions and below is the answer it gave me. I don’t know how true it is but i believe we can all learn a thing or two

There are many complaints from Nigerians about KDP blocking, rejecting, or shutting down accounts/books — but the good news is most of the issues are avoidable once you understand why Amazon acts the way it does.
Here are the real reasons this happens:

✅ 1. Too Many AI-Generated Books With Low Quality
Amazon has been cracking down on AI content since late 2023.
A lot of Nigerian authors:
upload low-quality AI books
don’t edit or fact-check
reuse the same templates
publish multiple books in a day
KDP flags this as:
“low-quality content”
“repetitive content”
“spam publishing”
This often leads to:
book removal
or full account termination

✅ 2. Using Copyright-Protected Materials
Some people unknowingly (or knowingly) use:
copyrighted images
copied recipes
plagiarized text
downloaded PDFs rewritten by AI
KDP bots are extremely strict.
Even 10% similarity to existing books can trigger a takedown.

✅ 3. Reusing the Same Content on Multiple Books
Example:
same introduction
same chapter layout
same exercises
same prompts
Amazon calls this “Content Duplication Across Titles.”
You can lose your account for this.

✅ 4. Bad Payment Cards or Suspicious Login Patterns
Many Nigerians use:
VPN
Verve cards
virtual cards
unstable IP addresses
multiple devices
shared WiFi networks
Amazon’s automated system sees this as “fraudulent behavior.”
They can restrict or close the account.

✅ 5. Keyword Stuffing
Putting keywords like:
“free,”
“best seller,”
“2024,”
“AI,”
“Money-making,”
“adult,”
Or adding irrelevant phrases in the metadata.
Amazon flags this as:
search manipulation
guideline violation

✅ 6. Publishing Low-Content Books Without Original Value
Many people publish:
notebooks
journals
planners
But they look like everyone else’s.
Since 2022, KDP has been very strict with low-content books.
If yours looks too generic, they block it.

✅ 7. Repeated Upload Attempts After Rejection
Some authors keep re-uploading the same rejected manuscript.
This triggers:
“system gaming”
“policy evasion”
Which can permanently ban the account.

✅ 8. Wrong Categories, Wrong Claims
Examples:
medical books with no credentials
financial advice written by non-professionals
health claims without references
KDP removes such books under "sensitive content guidelines."

⭐ So Is It Because Nigerians Are Targeted?
No.
KDP does not target Nigerians.
But because:
many Nigerian authors use VPNs
many use virtual cards
many follow “KDP hustle” shortcuts from YouTube
many rely heavily on unedited AI
many upload too many books too fast
…the system ends up flagging more accounts from here.
It’s more about patterns, not nationality.
