Q: How can I transition from a free books account to a paid books account?

I created a free books account (based on my existing itunes ID) to post 2 books just to test out the process.  Now that I feel like I know what I'm doing, I'd like to update a paid book, but can't figure out how to go about doing it.  I created a second Itunes ID to create a paid book account, but then the SSN I used for that account was the same (obviously) as the one I used for the free account and that's where I ran up against a wall.  What to do now?

 

Thanks!

    You  will need to retain your free books account - its not 'transferable" in any way.

     

    You will need to apply for for a Paid Books account, new "username" email address is required.

    You will need to fulfil the  requirements in the Contracts and Banking section of  your "new account" - you can use the same bank and credit card details and you will to apply to the USA tax office for an EIN.

    I used this.

     

    1-267-941-1099   USA IRS Telephone    - you  may have to  change the country code from 1


    http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf     Its better to download teh PDF, print it off, fill it in and have it with you when you  phone the IRS.  Try to calculate your call to be  6.30pm  East Coast US time - they work till 7pm   so at  6.30pm.. it is usually a quiet  time and should  mean no  waiting online for an agent.
