# Amazon Book Listing Fixes for Authors > Amazon book listing fixes: correct merged editions, wrong categories, missing series links and broken details so readers see your book properly. Free quote. Source: https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/listing-fixes/ Publisher: The Author Publishing Last updated: 2026-10-28 --- Amazon book listing fixes are the corrections made to a published book's page when something is wrong, such as merged editions, a missing series link, the wrong categories, an out-of-date description or a Look Inside preview that does not show. Our Amazon book listing fixes service finds the cause, corrects what we can in your KDP account and works with KDP support on the rest. A faulty listing costs sales quietly. Readers see the wrong cover, the wrong price or the wrong edition and move on. This service is part of our [Amazon book publishing services](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/), and it goes deeper than [Amazon book listing optimization](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/book-listing-optimization/), which improves a healthy listing. ## What our Amazon listing fixes service covers - **Edition merges and splits.** Help when a different book has been merged into your page, or when your eBook, paperback and hardcover are not shown together. - **Category and keyword repair.** A review of categories and keywords that put your book in the wrong place, with changes made in KDP. - **Metadata corrections.** Fixes to title, subtitle, series, contributor names and description where the page shows old or wrong details. - **Content and preview problems.** Help when Look Inside, the table of contents or the sample does not show correctly, including file corrections. - **Author page and series links.** Checks that your books appear on your Author Central page and series page. ## Who this service is for - Authors whose listing shows the wrong cover, title, edition or price - Authors whose paperback and eBook are not shown together - Authors who changed a title, cover or edition while the old details remain - Authors who cannot find the cause of a problem and need an experienced eye ## How this service works 1. **Gather the facts.** Send the link to your listing and a short description of the problem. 2. **Diagnose the cause.** We compare the live page with your KDP settings and files to find where the mismatch started. 3. **Fix what is in your control.** We correct the details in your KDP account and republish where needed. 4. **Escalate and follow up.** When the fix needs KDP or Author Central support, we prepare a clear case and follow it up with you. ## What kinds of Amazon listing problems can be fixed? Most listing problems come from a handful of causes: old metadata that was never updated, editions that share an ISBN or a title, or files that did not process properly. These often have a clear fix. Other problems sit entirely in Amazon's systems, such as a delayed update or a catalogue merge, and need a request to KDP support. We tell you which kind you have before we start, so you know what to expect. ## Why are my paperback and eBook not on the same page? Amazon links formats of the same book using matching titles, contributor names and, where relevant, series details. A small difference in the subtitle or the author name can stop the link. We compare the details across your editions, correct the mismatch in KDP and then ask Amazon to link them if they do not join within a few days. Waiting a short while is sensible, because updates are not instant. ## What if a different book has merged with mine? A merge can mix up covers, descriptions, reviews or editions. It often follows an ISBN problem, such as reusing an ISBN for a different edition. We help you collect proof, such as your ISBN record, file dates and screenshots, and write a clear request to KDP support. We cannot force Amazon to act, and some cases take several attempts, but a precise case with evidence gets the best response. ## How do I know my categories and keywords are right? Check whether the categories on the live page match the ones you chose in KDP, and whether similar books sit in the same places. Amazon can change category names and move books, so a once-good choice can drift. We review the live page, compare it with leading books in your genre and recommend updates. Our [listing optimization service](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/book-listing-optimization/) can go further if the listing needs a full refresh. ## What should I do before I contact KDP support? - Note the exact link and the date you first saw the problem - Take clear screenshots of the wrong details and of your KDP settings - Check your ISBNs, titles and contributor names for small differences - Wait a few days after any change, since Amazon updates are not instant - Avoid creating duplicate editions, because they can make the problem worse ## How long do listing fixes take and what do they cost? A change in KDP can show within a day or two, while merges and catalogue problems can take longer because Amazon controls the timing. We do not publish a price list, since a quick metadata fix and a complex merge are very different jobs. You receive a free quote with a fixed price in writing before work starts, so the full cost is clear in advance. ## Questions about amazon listing fixes ### Can you guarantee Amazon will fix my listing? No. Amazon controls the retail page, and some fixes depend on its teams. We remove the causes in your control and present the strongest case for the rest. ### Do you need access to my KDP account? No. We guide you by screen share or written steps, and the login stays with you. ### Why does my book show the wrong cover? The old cover can remain after an update, or a different file may have processed. We check your files and settings and then contact KDP if needed. ### Why is Look Inside missing? It can take time to appear, and files with problems may not process. We check the file and the preview. ### Can you fix reviews that went to another edition? Reviews follow the way Amazon links editions. We help correct the link, but Amazon decides how reviews appear. ### Can you help with an Author Central problem? Yes. We check that your books are claimed and linked, and we guide you through contacting the right support channel. ### What if my listing was taken down? We read Amazon's message, find the reason and help you correct the issue and reply. We cannot override an Amazon decision. ### Can you stop it happening again? We give you a short checklist for future updates, such as keeping titles and ISBNs consistent across editions. ## Related services - [Amazon book publishing services](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/) - [Amazon book listing optimization](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/book-listing-optimization/) - [Amazon Author Central setup](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/author-central-setup/) - [Amazon series page setup](https://theauthorpublishing.com/amazon-publishing/series-page-setup/) - [ISBN and copyright registration](https://theauthorpublishing.com/book-publishing-services/isbn-copyright/) ## Why authors work with us - You keep your rights, your royalties and your accounts - You receive a written scope and a fixed price before any work starts - You approve every file before it moves to the next step - One project manager keeps you informed at every stage
