Give back connects after 30 days of inactive job offer

[alberteinestein]

Hello Upwork, there is many inactive job offers, with no freelancer hired, connects should be refunded after 30 days when the offer is deleted automatically.

There are many inactive job offer but didn’t jod deleted automatically. Connects will be refunded If client close the job without anyone hiring or Upwork remove this job if violation TOS.

Agreed. Upwork should give a time frame to clients and if no one is hired during that time frame the job should be removed so that we get the connects back.

Hi Firas,

Thank you for your suggestions. I will be sharing this with the relevant team. Currently, Connects are returned in the following cases only :

• If a project is canceled by the client before a contract is made, Connects you used on that proposal will be returned. This does not apply to expired job posts.
• If we remove a project’s post because we believe it violates our Terms of Service, Connects you used on that proposal will be returned.

Thank you,

Pradeep

So....if no freelancer sent a proposal compelling enough to interest the client and the client left Upwork to look elsewhere, you think Upwork should reward the freelancers for that failure?
