My freelancer refund me but it doesn't show up in my balance

[Laughing F]

Hi,

 One of my freelancers refunded me but it doesn't show up in my blalance amount.

According to the email from upwork it is suppoed to be in my balance amount but it doesn't.

 Transaction reference ID: 116795103

Anybody let me know what is happening or when would I get back my money to my blalance?

Cheers,

 Dey.

Hi Laughing,

I checked and the money is already on your Upwork account. You can go to Reports> Transactions to check it.

Hi,

 Thanks for your quick reply.

That balance amount from my previous transaction I believe. 

My previous transaction ref id: 106187486.

If it is not then where did my previous balance go?

Please let me know if you have any question or need any more information.

cheers,

 Dey.

Who is Dey? and who is Laughing?

Two accounts?

Nichola,

It appears the client is using the name of his company on his profile. I don't think we need to worry about duplicate accounts yet.

Thanks Valeria. There is no need to chide me though, as freelancers as you know, are not privy to client profiles.

Hi,

 Please let me know if you have any update on my issue.

I was using my company profile but anyway let me know if you have any query regarding my issue.

cheers,

 Dey.

Dey,  just a theory from what you shared so far:

Is it possible that the previous refund was sitting in your Upwork account, then was used to pay the new freelancer, and when it was refunded returned to your balance?

Say you had $ 100 sitting in your account from a previous refund.

You then hired Freelancer X for $ 100 and the money went to pay, or towards paying Freelancer X (rendering your balance $ 0)

When Freelancer X refunded the $ 100 returned to your Upwork account which is why you are seeing just one amount?
