Adding Paypal Payment Method without Credit Card Number

Hi! Good Day,

 

        I would like to buy connects, yet I'am having trouble in adding a payment/billing method. I would like to use my Paypal account but it keeps asking for a credit card number. The problem is I don't have a credit card, or a credit card number. Can you please help me. Thanks!

Good day, the problem is I want to buy connects, it keeps askin for a
billing method. When I choos paypal as billing method, it is asking for a
credit card number. The problem is I don’t have a credit card.

Hi John Renmar,

 

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. You can check out the options available to you and learn more about acceptable billing methods.

 

Thank you.

I need to buy connects using paypal without connecting to a bank. please assist

Hi Linda,

 

I'm afraid, that's not possible. In order to use PayPal as a billing method, it needs to be verified and be set with a valid payment method. Check out this help article for more information about acceptable billing methods.

I can't add paypal as payment option because I don't have a debit or creditcard is there any other ways?

 

Hi Abraham,

 

You can check what other payment methods are available to you by going to the Get Paid section on your settings. You may also check this help article for more information on how you can get paid.
