KDP account terminated. Now reinstated. ✅

A publisher with 3.5 years and a clean record on KDP got hit over a murder-mystery puzzle book cover that Amazon said was too close to another title. He didn't design it — he hired someone who did. The book's actual contents were entirely his own.

Amazon told him to fix the cover and metadata. He started doing it. Two days later, the whole account was gone. 😳

We escalated to executive review and argued the obvious: Amazon's own instruction to remediate proved he qualified for a second chance, and an automated system had overridden that decision. Then we backed it with a full compliance overhaul across his entire catalog.

Account reinstated. 🎉

Outsourcing your book covers? That designer's shortcut is your legal exposure. We've now handled this exact fact pattern four times.

WIN: Amazon Relay account reinstated. 🚛

Our client — a trucking carrier — lost its Amazon Relay account when its FMCSA BASICs safety scores dropped below Amazon's required thresholds. Load Board access: gone. Contract Management: gone. The business lost its Amazon freight overnight.

Here's the part most carriers miss. Amazon's own deactivation email said it would keep monitoring the company's BASICs scores and reactivate the account once the criteria were met. That's not a formality — it's a promise you can hold them to, IF you can prove you got there.

So we built the Plan of Action on evidence: weekly ELD audits to catch hours and speeding violations, random drug and alcohol testing, more frequent vehicle inspections and preventive maintenance, a full re-audit of every driver's license, medical card, and training record — and current BASICs scores showing every category back inside Amazon's limits.

The account is back.

Carriers: your BASICs scores don't fall off a cliff, they drift. Check them monthly. By the time the deactivation email arrives, the damage is already six months old.

Deactivated from Amazon Relay? We can help.

WIN: KDP account reinstated. 📚

Our client's Kindle Direct Publishing account was terminated for "misrepresenting authorship." What actually happened? She got married and changed her last name. Her book went out under her married name — her KDP account was still under her maiden name. Amazon's system saw two different authors claiming the same title.

Amazon emailed her an authorization request. It went straight to spam. She never saw it, the deadline expired, and the account was gone.

We put together the full evidentiary package for Amazon's Legal Department — legal name-change documentation, identity verification, ISBN ownership, and written authorization from her co-author — and made the case that nothing improper had ever happened.

The account is back.

Authors: check your spam folder. Whitelist Amazon. And if your legal name changes, update KDP before your next release. A five-minute admin task can save your entire catalog.

If your KDP or ACX account has been terminated, we handle these every week.
