So here's what's been happening with my extension submission, and I'm losing my mind a bit:

First submission - rejected within hours.

Fixed it, resubmitted - rejected again within hours.

Fixed everything they pointed out and made sure permissions, description, and privacy policy were clean. Resubmitted.

That was 10+ days ago. Total silence since then. Status still says "Pending review."

The quick rejections were actually fine - at least I knew where I stood. This radio silence is way worse. Did getting rejected twice flag my account for some deeper manual review? Is this just the new normal for Chrome Web Store?

If anyone has been through this recently, I would love to hear:

- How long will it eventually take

- Whether you contacted support, and if it helped

- Anything you wish you'd known

Appreciate any wisdom 🙏

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from fellow extension developers.

Here's my situation:

- I submitted my Chrome extension for review.

- The first 2 submissions were rejected almost instantly (within Days).

- I fixed the issues they flagged and resubmitted.

- It's now been 10+ days and still no update - status is just stuck "Pending review."

A few questions:

1. Is this kind of delay normal after a couple of rejections? Do they put your extension in a slower/manual review queue once it gets flagged?

2. Has anyone else had reviews take this long recently? What was the eventual turnaround for you?

3. Is there any way to actually contact the review team, or do I just have to wait it out? I've heard the One Stop Support form sometimes works, but I don't want to spam them.

4. Would withdrawing and resubmitting reset the timer in a bad way, or is it safe to do?

Any insights would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been working on KDP for a while now and am currently making around $600 to $800 per month completely organically - without spending a single dollar on ads. Everything is running through SEO, keyword research, niche selection, and good covers/titles.

Now I'm seriously thinking about giving Amazon Ads a shot. But here's the thing - I've never run Amazon Ads in my entire life. Literally zero experience on the paid side. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous about burning money without seeing any return.

A few things I'd love to understand from people who've been there:

1. If organic sales are already steady, won't ads just cannibalise those sales? Like, I'd be paying for clicks on books that would've sold anyway.
2. What's a realistic starting budget for a complete beginner? Should I start with $5/day or go higher?
3. Is it better to start with Sponsored Products only, or should I also test Sponsored Brands and Lockscreen Ads?
4. What kind of ACOS and ROI should I realistically expect in the first 30-60 days? Loss, break-even, or profit?
5. Manual targeting from day one, or run auto campaigns first to gather keyword data?

If anyone here has made the organic-to-paid transition and scaled their KDP business, please share your experience. What mistakes did you make, what worked, and did ads actually grow your profit or just inflate vanity numbers?

Not looking for guru talk - genuinely want to hear from people who've actually done this. 🙏

Thanks in advance!
