Account Suspended / Transactions Limited

[geoffla]

 I posted a job last yesterday evening 11-26-22 and that was that. This morning I login to see how many people applied for the job and find out my account has been suspended, but I never got an email or anything reason why about it.  I log in to support.upwork.com to see that there is a recent ticket in "My Requests" to verify my profile in the middle of the night and the status was already solved before I knew anything about it. I'm guessing this is the reason why my account is suspended?

Edit* I sent documents this morning hoping this gets resolved quickly.

This must be something new.  I was under the impression that buyers don't need anything to post their jobs!

Avery: is this something new?

A step in right direction.
