Both Freelancer and Client Accounts suspended because I asked a freelancer for a refund

Hi, all.

I have both the client and freelancer account. I recently posted a job from client account and hired a freelancer from Egypt while I am from Pakistan. I awarded the freelancer the job but was not satisfied with the results he delivered so i had to ask for a refund. The milestone amount was $100 whereas I paid him a partial amount of $5 so that the project registers on the freelancer's profil in return for his half work done. The freelancer approved the refund and the contract was ended but i did not get the funds back in my bank account even after 7 days.

 

When I posted about the funds not recieved in my local bank here on upwork community, i was directed towards a ticket and then my accounts were suspended all of a sudden due to "manipulating Upwork's feedback system". Upwork asked me all i had to do to get my account back was to agree to the TOS which i did immediately as i want my account and funds back.

 

Now what else should i do? How much time will this take? Is this a temporary suspension? How do i assure Upwork that I agree to their TOS?

 

Please help me out here.

 

Thanks.
