I really don't understand how this happens. Surely there must be a logical explanation?
This is so sad, unfair, and discouraging. What is going on with Amazon?
Ik they're trying to look out fir illegal activity, but couldn't they look out for verified purchased? :\ Hope they'll have a petition to unbanned them. That's sad...
I'd be cautious about taking sides when we don't know all the facts about the case. Sure, they claim innocence, that doesn't mean they are.
I keep hearing weird things about Amazon lately...worrying!
Are wonder if they're doing a petition, what with Amazon's doing.
We haven’t got all the facts to know if these authors were involved in something that somehow gamed the system. It’s very ‘he said, she said’. I would like to hear that Amazon gives reasons for kicking authors out rather than just deciding it’s their right to do so.
That's true. But didn't the other author said that Amazon didn't send an email the reason why they bamned him? I wonder if they could ask if they reviewed verfied purchases.
Amazon aren’t always well known for explaining themselves in some of these cases. I may have misread the article but I was under the impression the authors are exclusive to Amazon and therefore getting page read royalty payments as well as royalties from sold copies. I’m not saying those authors were guilty of it but others have used book stuffing to game that system and get an unfair share of the royalties.
