I have a verified PayPal account, which is linked to my Upwork account. I can see in my PayPal account the billing agreement with Upwork escrow. Still when Upwork tried to charge it says on the Upwork page "charge failed".

How can I purchase new connects and get started with Upwork?

Please help me with this

Hi Ankush,

 

Could you please contact PayPal customer support to check if your PayPal account is set up correctly and check the preferred payment methods you have set in your Wallet.

After a long time interviewing freelancers, I would like to hire a freelancer and it is not possible to make an offer because it tells me that there is "Charge Failed"!


I have contacted your customer service since 12.july and they have even asked me (Client) to go through an ID verification process and despite all these and lots of emails back and forth, I still can not make an offer!
By the way, I have contacted my bank and every thing is OK from my side. 
I need an immediate solution as I have attempted for about 10 times up to now to connect my Mastercard or Paypal accounts and no success to make an offer.

The ticket number is: #29148998

Hi Mohammad,

 

I`m sorry about the inconvenience this has caused you. Rest assured our team will update your ticket with more details as soon as possible and will assist you further. Thank you.

Same problem with my account too..

Hi Sandeep,

 

In order to use Paypal as a billing method on Upwork, your Paypal account must have a linked credit or debit card for recurring payments (for example, for membership fees). For cases like this, a funding source is required to add Paypal as a billing method.

 

Please check the options available to you and learn more about acceptable billing methods.

 

Thank you.

I have linked my Paypal verified account to Upwork and it shows "Charge failed".

Please help me to figure out this error.

Hi Soham, 

I checked your account and can confirm this transaction was declined. You may need to add an alternative payment method to your PayPal wallet in order to add your PayPal account as a payment method on Upwork.

I have same issue. I have tried all my cards and paypal option. Nothing works. Please help me.

Hi Hadil,

 

I have checked your account and see that the transaction was declined by PayPal. Could you please retry the transaction using an alternative payment method from your PayPal wallet?

~ Joanne

Same issue. Added new card to paypal, which successfully made a test payment.

Indian debit cards require OTP make a payment. Maybe upwork isn't handling OTP well ?

Hi Nikhil,

 

I checked and it looks like PayPal declined the transaction, could you please try using an alternative payment method from your PayPal wallet?

~Andrea
Upwork

I can't send more proposals because I have no connections, so I decided to buy connections.

I added paypal, but I can't charge from paypal.

What is the issue?

I am also purchasing connects using PayPal. I didn't find any issues. I think @David, you need to recheck once and then proceed or you can also talk to PayPal support and I can assure you that they will resolve your problem asap.

Hi David,
 
I checked and it looks like PayPal has declined the transaction, could you please try using an alternative payment method from your PayPal wallet? You can also check out this help article for more information on the available Billing Methods for purchasing Connects.
