Guidance on Opening a KDP Account Alongside Existing Amazon Seller Account

Please help

I currently have an active Amazon Seller Central account through which I sell physical products using the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) service. I am now interested in expanding my business by publishing digital books through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).

Before proceeding, I would like to seek clarification on a few points to ensure compliance with Amazon’s policies:

1. Can I create an Amazon KDP account using the same email address and legal company name that I use for my existing Amazon Seller Central (FBA) account?

2. Will opening a KDP account in any way affect or risk deactivating my existing Seller Central account?

3. Is it recommended (or required) to use a separate email and company information for KDP and Seller Central accounts?

I want to ensure I follow the correct procedure and maintain compliance across both platforms.

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.

Hi @Seller_BxYqpsZFhiwlL

Connor from Amazon here, thank you for reaching out to us.

Thank you for your detailed questions about expanding into KDP while maintaining your FBA business. I'm happy to clarify these points:

Good news - you can absolutely have both a Seller Central and KDP account! Here's what you need to know:

1. Yes, you can use the same email address and legal company name for both your Seller Central and KDP account. The platforms are designed to work independently.

2. Creating a KDP account will not affect your Seller Central account at all - they're separate systems that don't impact each other's standing.

3. While you can use separate email addresses if you prefer, it's not required.

The key is just ensuring that whatever information you use (email, company details, tax info) matches your official business records consistently.

Note: If you were to violate a policy on one platform (e.g., KDP) that leads to account termination, it could potentially trigger issues with your other Amazon accounts, especially if the violation suggests a broader pattern of problematic behavior. This is not a direct link between the platforms, but rather Amazon's overall system flagging a problematic entity. As long as you maintain compliance on both, you should be fine.

Hope this helps clarify things for your expansion into digital publishing! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,

Connor
