Hi Rakesh,

 

It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.

 

Thanks!

Hi Rakesh,

 

I'd like to confirm the information that Andrea shared with you. You will need to reach out to you card issuing bank so that they can look into this for you. You may also consider another billing method. If you aren’t able to use a credit card or prepaid card or you don’t have an Upwork balance, in many cases you’ll be able to use PayPal. To see the options available to you, click here.

Hello,

I have the same issue I can't send a job offer to the freelancer its very much annoying that I tried 10 times to send the offer but the payment method declined I used a Visa card although it says that your primary billing method is added successfully. But when I proceed to hire the freelancer it gives the error. Please resolve this issue ASAP.

Dear Kumail and all others,
We all have same issues and this is very clear that all banks have no issues. As per banks customer service it is sure that this is at upworks end. But unfortunately all members said that wait n watch. I am sitting and waiting for' the connects to send proposals.
Kindly lets all make a request to upwork team that sort this out on priority.
