STILL Haven't Gotten Paid by Kindle (Amazon)

10 replies
I published a few books and over time I have made over $100.00 ...
2-3 months ago I set everything up with my banking info and Amazon/Kindle ... but there isn't a "Pay Me NOW!" button or anything.. I can't even coherently view my earnings since they inconveniently put everything in spreadsheets that you have to add up manually (Which I've done) ..

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Is this normal ? .. I could really use the money right now :/

    Amazon pays you automatically you cannot request a payment. I think the payments are coming with a 2 month delay. Earnings from August are going to be paid in october. Earnings from september are going to be paid in november.

      Keep in mind that you are paid 60 days AFTER the end of a month in which the balance accrued meets the threshold pay out.

    Getting Paid - Amazon Kindle


    Just like what they said, you'll get paid after 60 days.

    It's not cumulative for all the stores either. You have to earn the minimum for each separately. Pretty sure the minimum for direct deposit is $10 though. If you had the bank info entered by the cutoff date in September for the US store, deposit date is Nov 29th.

    There's about a 2 month delay. WHy don't you try giving them a call? I had an issue with them a few months ago and got them on the phone pretty quick and the problem was resolved. They have great customer service.

    Its kinda like fiverr you have to wait so long until your paid for your work, if its past 60 days i advise contacting the support team.

    David,
    You can pull up a daily report that you don't have to download. I agree-that spreadsheet report is a pain. I pull my daily "month to date unit sales" every morning from the Kindle Direct Publishing page. That may help.
    As far as payments. My first couple of months I didn't get any(even though I had sales). Since then, I have been getting a monthly email that shows what they will be depositing. I am set up on direct deposit. Haven't had any issues with getting paid that way. Perhaps your direct deposit setup isn't complete?

    Their payment process is quite long, however you will get your payment soon if you have made over $100
