There's been a development with Draft2Digital, a platform I used to publish to many different sites. For new authors, they're charging $20 USD to sign up. For authors who make less than $100 USD in a year, they'll charge $12 USD. To make matters worse, every payment option now has a payment threshold. For PayPal, there's now a $10 USD minimum in order to get paid that way.
I'll do a blog soon, but I've decided to delist all my books with Draft2Digital. I have direct accounts with Amazon KDP and Kobo, so those will be the only places you can buy my books for now. It's shameful that they're punishing authors who don't make much money. None of my books have made $100 in a year on any platform. I didn't even make enough money last year to buy a bag of Doritos. 99% of my book sales last year were free copies, and this didn't lead to a surge in followers on my site or Mastodon.
Even if there was no fee, the threshold requirement is a major turn off. Kobo has a threshold of $50, which I can't recall if it was always there or added in after I published in 2018. I only had one paid sale on Kobo, but since it's way below the threshold, I've never been paid. D2D payout through PayPal used to have no threshold, but I don't know when it got changed. Kobo might be worth delisting too down the line. If Amazon also forces a threshold minimum and a fee on poor authors, I'd definitely quit publishing altogether.
