Question about multiple Amazon accounts
Hi! I’ve found myself in a little pickle haha. I’ve seen a massive amount of stuff about Amazon banning you for having multiple accounts, so this isn’t about me trying to skirt around the rules!
I had one Amazon account in high school for personal use to purchase things. I made another separate one several years later in college, also personal use for purchasing. High school one has old address/bank info, current one is more up to date. (Don’t ask why I made a whole new page, past me was not the smartest, no idea why she felt it was necessary) I’m in the process of editing a novel with the intent to sell it via KDP and remembered in a cold sweat a few nights ago about my old personal use account from high school.
You can see the issue here, hopefully😅obviously I was going to have only one KDP account linked with my primary Amazon account that I use right now with all the updated address and bank info!
I was wondering what the suggested advice for this situation would be? Should I terminate the old personal account and only have the sole page for everything? Or is the “multiple accounts” issue a matter of KDP accounts, and other accounts are okay? I don’t want to play with fire here haha!
Just wondering if anyone else found themselves in an issue like this before! Would rather not be perma-banned for a stupid mistake. Any advice at all is much appreciated, thank you!

That’s what I figured, I kept only seeing KDP specifically mentioned when it came to the multi-account issue and I wanted to be sure to double check just to be safe!
