This guide provides a step-by-step process for buyers and sellers to transfer a Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account on the SiteFlea platform, ensuring a secure and efficient transition of assets.
To facilitate a smooth transfer of KDP accounts, including books and related assets, between buyers and sellers on SiteFlea.
Both buyer and seller must maintain responsive communication to prevent delays.
Open communication is essential for a seamless transfer process.
Fund Approval & Escrow Confirmation
The buyer transfers the agreed funds to SiteFlea’s optional escrow.
Once funds are secured, SiteFlea notifies both parties, signaling the start of the transfer process.
Required Buyer Information Before merging, the buyer must provide the seller with:
Full Name (as registered on the KDP account)
A Link to One of the Buyer’s Books (if any) Note: If the buyer lacks a KDP account, they must create one (see Appendix A) before proceeding.
Seller Initiates the Merge Request
The seller emails Amazon to request merging their KDP account with the buyer’s account, including both parties’ email addresses.
Amazon acknowledges the request and sends a confirmation email to the buyer.
Buyer Confirms the Merge Request
The buyer responds promptly to Amazon’s email, approving the merge.
Amazon processes the request within 24–72 hours. Both parties should respond to any additional Amazon inquiries.
Monitoring the Transfer
The buyer checks their KDP Bookshelf multiple times daily to confirm when books appear.
Once transferred, the buyer confirms with the seller via SiteFlea’s Deal Room chat.
Accessing Manuscripts & Covers
After confirming books in their KDP account, the buyer receives a shared link from the seller for manuscripts and cover files.
Buyer Confirms Asset Transfer & Releases Funds
The buyer verifies all transferred assets (books, manuscripts, covers) match the agreement.
Once satisfied, the buyer releases payment to the seller.

Understanding Amazon’s Billing Cycle
Amazon bills monthly, starting at $500 ad spend, increasing over time.
Contact Amazon to raise the limit sooner if needed.
Ads should be reactivated immediately post-transfer to avoid disruptions.
The seller may assist with setting up the buyer’s Amazon Ads account and assigning ad management rights for a smooth transition.
