I verified there is a serious problem going on.

Data for the US and UK stores seem to be on the estimate graph, but when you download the spreadsheet, all the sales and pre-order data is missing for both stores.

KDP help chat took some convincing, and might be putting in a report. Have to wait and see what comes back.

But yes, there is definitely a problem.

And it's August, when all the truly great KDP problems seem to occur.

I just googled Book Report and got the site.
It had a warning on the page so I guess Liam is aware of it.

"Warning: KDP is inconsistently reporting eBook sales royalties as of August 23rd. Since Book Report relies on KDP's data, this means that your sales data may be incomplete or inaccurate until their spreadsheets become reliable again.

We have contacted KDP support, and they said: "Our technical teams are aware of this problem and are working hard to fix it as soon as possible."

Now off to see what the program actually does. :-)

If the system works properly, it may reduce the impact of some kinds of scams. We'll have to wait and see.

Where is the identity page?

If you login and click "Your Account" it should be a tab on the Account page, called "Your Identity." The direct link for me is: https://account.kdp.amazon.com/identity

I suspect the upload ID section will happen after clicking "Save and Continue," however for me, this simply takes me back to the account tab.

In case it's not rolled out to all countries, this is what it looks like:

I do have the new identity page but it's not asking for me to upload my ID anywhere. I wonder if they plan to roll it out to all authors, or just the suspicious ones like Tim says.

Hopefully this makes a dent in the scammers and spammers, though the cynic in me wonders how easy it is to fool them with a fake or photoshopped ID.
