Be carful when submitting to KDP
Ok this is a copied post... not my account but I wanted to share, to warn people when they submit to KDP to make sure they fill out the AI generated section carfuly
"Warning to all fellow Amazon KDP creators!
I want to share a painful lesson I recently learned, hoping it will help you protect your hard work. After 3 months of daily effort pouring my heart into creating educational materials and books, my Amazon account was permanently terminated.
The reason? A simple human error regarding the AI-disclosure checkbox (using Google Gemini for illustrations) on one of my latest books. Even though I spent hours manually designing the layouts and structures, missing that single checkbox in the metadata form triggered an automated alert that ended in a full account termination for 'manipulating services'.
What I want you to learn from my experience:
- Be 100% transparent: If you use AI (even just for illustrations or content assistance), always disclose it during the publishing process. Amazon does not play around with their Content Guidelines.
- Don't take risks: Their algorithms are incredibly rigid. Any suspicion of undeclared or duplicate content can lead to an immediate ban, loss of bookshelf access, and forfeiture of your royalties.
- Double-check everything: Even if you are tired or in a hurry, double-check your submission forms. A single second of oversight can wipe out months of genuine, passionate work.
Protect your accounts and stay extremely vigilant with their rules! I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I am facing right now. Wishing you all the best of luck with your projects!"
