Account suspension risk factors
These questions catch the account-level behaviours that get authors banned. Answer what applies. Skipped questions are not scored.
Are you enrolling this book in KDP Select?
KDP Select requires 90-day exclusivity. Answer Yes if you are signing up.
Have you offered anything in return for reviews?
Payment, a free copy with a review requirement, or any review-exchange programme.
Do you own or operate more than one KDP account?
Is this the same content as a book already listed on Amazon?
Same manuscript under a different title or ASIN counts.
Have you published 3 or more books in the last 30 days?
Does your author name contain descriptive keywords?
For example: "John History Books" or "Jane Bestselling Romance".
Is your pen name identical to another published author's real name?
