Hello. About 2 weeks ago I solved the task for the client, he paid.
And now he has requested a refund. I was surprised because the task was successful. I could not find reasons for refund anywhere in my account. I have never dealt with the same. What should I do?
P.S Before the payment, he said to me that he forgives the Upwork password and he will create a new account. it guarded me

Hello,
Do not accept the refund request if you are positive that you are the right side.

I don't know in what part of the site I would be able to accept or refuse

Hi Denis,
Unfortunately, when the client fails to pay for hours logged by the freelancer, any hours that aren't covered by Upwork Hourly Protection may be reversed.
Our team will reach out to you directly via email with more information about your specific case.
Thank you!

Bojan, answer me, please
If I had spent 100 hours for the task instead of 1 hour, the Client would could simply cancel the payment and return the money?

There was no returned money. The client never paid in the first place.
Had you used the tracker correctly, Upwork would have paid you out of their own pocket.
And yes, that would be the same for 100 hours.

Denis:
If you were using the Upwork desktop time-tracker application correctly, then that is a good thing.
I would encourage you to continue using the tool correctly in the future.
The reason that Petra suggested you may not have used it correctly was because a Forum Moderator checked the records and said: "Unfortunately, when the client fails to pay for hours logged by the freelancer, any hours that aren't covered by Upwork Hourly Protection may be reversed. "
So the Forum Moderator was was hinting that your hours were reversed because they did not qualify for Upwork Hourly Protection.
Here are some questions you can ask yourself:
- When I accepted the contract, was the client payment-verified?
- When I logged time, was there adequate mouse/keyboard activity registered by the time-tracker?
- Did I write adequate, descriptive memos describing the work I was doing?
- Do the screenshots show that I am working on the client's project (and not doing something unrelated)?
Denis:
Is it possible that there is one of these criteria that Upwork thought you didn't comply with completely?

In fact, I did not use the Upwork tracker, because I did know about it so I had my first hourly task
In the future, I will use it
