👋 Dear Villagers,

I’m the Minister of Economy, and today I’m answering a question many new members ask:

🕵️‍♂️ “Why can’t I change the Amazon marketplace I selected after setting up my reviewer profile?”

The short answer?

📌 It’s a measure designed to protect both you and the entire Village ecosystem.

🛡️ Why Do We Lock Marketplace Selection?

BookVillage uses the Amazon marketplace you choose to:

✅ Optimize the books that appear in your Library based on their actual availability in your marketplace

✅ Improve the matching between authors and readers for faster, more targeted reviews

✅ Prevent interactions that may appear artificial to monitoring algorithms on platforms like Amazon (and others soon to be supported)

🤖 A Smarter Algorithm Thanks to a Fixed Marketplace

Keeping your review marketplace fixed—regardless of which Amazon account you use to post—allows us to:

✅ Refine our advanced algorithm

✅ Optimize the growth of your ARC List and the entire community’s network

✅ Ensure that the same book isn’t repeatedly selected across multiple marketplaces, avoiding waste and congestion

📢 This way, every review contributes to keeping the Village efficient and fair for everyone.

📌 What If I Selected the Wrong Marketplace?

📢 Don’t worry.

If you realize you chose the wrong marketplace right after configuration, you can:

✅ Contact us via email within the first 24 hours

✅ Our team will review the request and may correct the marketplace for you

📢 A Word from the Minister of Economy

"A fixed marketplace is a cornerstone of the Village: it protects the community and helps your ARC Team grow faster and with greater precision."
