I\u2019ve documented it all\u2014emails, screenshots, videos\u2014and published the unfolding story here.<\/h4>\n<p>At long last, Amazon has acknowledged the scale of the problem. Ethan R., from their Executive Customer Relations team, wrote to me today with words I\u2019ve been waiting to hear:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cThe issue has proven more complex than initially assessed, requiring additional time and technical resources to resolve properly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is no small admission. It means that my case is not just a matter of clicking the right button or resetting a setting. Something deeper is wrong in the way Amazon handles Two-Step Verification for international authors like me.<\/p>\n<p>I want to acknowledge Ethan\u2019s professionalism. He has apologised\u2014three times now\u2014for the delays, and he has promised to keep me updated, with the next milestone set for September 27.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the reality remains stark:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I have now been locked out of my account for over a month.<\/li>\n<li>I have not been able to access my royalties or update my payment details.<\/li>\n<li>The stress of fighting this battle has been considerable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So yes\u2014I welcome Amazon\u2019s honesty. Yes\u2014I am willing to give them the time to fix it properly. But no\u2014I will not quietly accept the cost that this lockout has imposed on me and other authors who may be facing similar barriers.<\/p>\n<p>The clock continues to tick.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lesson-for-leaders\">\n<h3>Lesson for Amazon<\/h3>\n<p>When problems are deeper than first thought, honesty is your best ally.
