KDP Royalty Payments for Sales in Other Countries

I recently changed banks and had to make the related updates regarding all online transactions, deleting the old banking numbers and putting in the new.

When updating my Amazon KDP account, I thought changing my home country, my US settings within KDP as for royalty payments, would be like an automatic default for all the others.

I was wrong.

So if you are making sales in Germany, Canada, Italy, France, England, Spain, Japan, India, Brazil, Mexico and Australia, then you need to check your KDP account and change each setting accordingly.

For example, the other countries were set to "issue a check" (with a minimum of $100 required and a fee may apply before issuing) and the form of money was that of that particular country, not mine. So my UK sales were defaulted to issue a Check and payable in Pounds. France was Check + Euro.

I set all mine to EFT (electronic funds transfer) + USD (US dollars).

You Indie authors out there may have money waiting to be paid to you from countries around the world.

Check your KDP account and see.

C. C. MacKenzie is Famous in Sweden

C. C. MacKenzie is a fellow author although across the pond--living in England but born in Scotland (forgive me, C.C., if I have this wrong). I met her on a shared online writing community and she is "a hoot and a half" as we say here in Texas.

Anyway, her latest post is a happy tearjerker (all of hers showcase her wicked sense of humor) and I just have to share it with authors everywhere. For in this one, C.C. finds out she is famous for the first time.

What a thrill!

I look forward to my own such experience.

Plus, as I said in my comment to her post, her life is just way more interesting than mine on a daily basis. So I live vicariously through her. And my book characters.

Here's C.C.'s link:

P.S. Copy editor disclaimer here: Per CMS16 Rule 8.4, periods follow initials representing names with a space in between, unless the initials are used without a last name--then periods remain, but no space is needed in the middle of the two. Note that C.C.'s covers and blog posts reflect no punctuation for her use of "CC" and I think that is her particular preference. Were it not for the two huge publishers I freelance for and our strict adherence to The Chicago Manual of Style and this public forum, I would go along with her preferred spelling.
