Upworks pulled too much from PayPal

[5ae71474]

My VA I hired has a 130/wk, she only charged 10 hours at 6.50. Upworks pulled 200.85 from Paypal to pay the VA. I don't understand why. If the VA only charged 10 hrs then it should've only been 65 + fee.  How do I get a refund back on the difference?

Because you added a "weekly salary" when you set up the contract by clicking on advanced settings, where you then added $ 130 per week to be paid in addition to any hours that have been logged by the freelancer.

So the system charged you for the hours logged, and the salary you added to be paid in addition.
