I love how straight-forward this explanation is, very clear and informative without waffle or intentionally dragging it out. Followed your channel immediately. Thank you so much!
Very informative video! Thanks. Little question: Is it okay to open a new KDP account (my first one) without connecting it to my private Amazon account which I am using for buying things? (The amazon help site says "Already have an Amazon account? Under Sign in with your Amazon account, click Sign in." which seems to suggest that I should register for KDP under my existing Amazon account.) Many thanks!
I have a question for this too. Just created an LLC for a publishing company. I don't have a KDP account yet but do have a shared amazon personal account with family which I buy things with. I want to keep these two things separate but when I went to create the KDP account with my business email, they required me to add my phone number and when I did, it said the phone number was already being used. So it won't let me create the business account. What can I do? I didn't even think I used my own number as it is with my husband and he set up the personal account. Please help! I don't have a new number for our business yet (if I even get one).
according to my knowledge..I think " No" because they'll be able to detect it's you. also, they can detect from your IP address, your internet service provider and the same device you using. I hope I've being able to answer your question ✌️
Hi, but even if you open a new business account with a different entity, don't you still need to have a "person" associated with that account? And add a drivers license and such for verification? Wouldn't they then see that its the same person?
A business is it’s own identity. When it is a Limited business not just a sole trader it has its own documents for verification. If you have a KDP account that has been terminated then you can’t have another account as per their terms, but people have business accounts because they see them as valuable assets that they can sell.
@@DreamCreativeBee Hi, thanks for your response. That didn't answer the question, because I've had business seller accounts with Amazon but they still required a "real person" verification with ID, even if you had an LLC. I just wanted to know if KDP had that same requirement?
Can you have multiple accounts in the same household my account was terminated but my partner has opened an account and we live together and are worried that her account will get terminated too...
Hi :) Can I start as a private Person (Individual) and later create a business (like a Ltd.) and switch my private KDP Account to that business account?
Thank you for the help. May I ask. Can someone have an account on amazon to shop and stuff, and use the same bank account for a kdp author account payment under a brand name? PS the brand is not registered or official it's just an online business
Your Brand name would have to have a Tax Number. You could have your name as Your name Trading as the brand name. Although I would have your name and then when creating books have different pen names for niches. Basically your brand name is your pen name.
I have 2 personal accounts on KDP and didn't realize this wasn't allowed. Do you know if there's any way to get them switched to a single account without getting banned? Thanks
Hi! My father has a kdp business account with his own email on my laptop. Can I open mine as well with my own email on the same laptop? Or would they block both of the accounts?
What I cannot believe is how many steps you have to take to sign into Amazon, phone numbers, emails, codes sent to your phone and you don't need an ID to vote for the President of the US. Insanity!

Thank you
What if you made an account years ago and never got the account up and running. No banking linked
You can ask KDP to close that account, but usually they don't bother with those as they are not active.

A lot of people have a different email address as they like to keep things separate.
@@DreamCreativeBeeSounds like a good idea. Thank you!

If I open an account with same bank information as in another banned account , is that okay ?
according to my knowledge..I think " No" because they'll be able to detect it's you. also, they can detect from your IP address, your internet service provider and the same device you using. I hope I've being able to answer your question ✌️
As Kiki said the answer is no. They can detect your IP but they will also check your bank account against banned account.
@@DreamCreativeBee so I have to change the bank account name and the IP address too , to open another kdp account??
As per KDP terms you can not have another account once your account has been banned. A business could have an account.
Hi, but even if you open a new business account with a different entity, don't you still need to have a "person" associated with that account? And add a drivers license and such for verification? Wouldn't they then see that its the same person?

Do you need to register a company before you can use kdp now 🤔
No, only if you want a business account that you can later sell.
Can you have multiple accounts in the same household my account was terminated but my partner has opened an account and we live together and are worried that her account will get terminated too...
As long as her account has a different tax number and bank account details to the one terminated, it should be fine, but I am not KDP.
As long as her bank account and tax details are different it should be fine.
Hi :)
Can I start as a private Person (Individual) and later create a business (like a Ltd.) and switch my private KDP Account to that business account?
You would have to ask KDP to be sure that is correct.
Thank you for the help.

@@DreamCreativeBee thanks a lot
So possibly yes if you have multiple businesses
Yes, as long as each business is a separate legal entity and you have spoken to KDP about it.
Can I have one personal account but name it not by my legal name ( first and last name)?
You need to use the name that is link to your bank account and legal documents.
I have 2 personal accounts on KDP and didn't realize this wasn't allowed. Do you know if there's any way to get them switched to a single account without getting banned? Thanks
Honestly I am not sure. Do you use both?
Kdp says you have to contact them and merge accounts. The old published books will then transfer to new account
Hi, I have a question about my personal Amazon account for purchases. Can I have it separate from KDP on a different email?
You can only have 1 personal account.
Hi, if my personal account has been closed, can I create a second one and associate (merge) my kdp account with it?
@@Mahdi-on9obIf Amazon has closed your account, then no.
@@DreamCreativeBee In fact, it is not closed permanently but is on hold for a 3 months ago. They are saying: we can't remove the hold at this time.
@@Mahdi-on9ob You will have to wait for the hold, although I have never heard of any one having an hold on their account before.
Hi! My father has a kdp business account with his own email on my laptop. Can I open mine as well with my own email on the same laptop? Or would they block both of the accounts?
You both can have separate accounts as long as you both have different tax and bank details it should not affect it in way.

It is crazy. We have only just introduced ID voting
