Hi all,

 

I understand your friend or colleague would like to contact support and resolve the issue with their Upwork account. They should be able to reach out to our support team via the chatbot without having to log in.
 
 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

 

  1. Please visit Contact Support and click the 'Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select 'Send'. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Hey,

I'm facing a problem with my Upwork account—it's been blocked, and I have no idea why. I've been trying to get help for 7 days now, but no response from Upwork support. Can anyone lend a hand?

Posting from my friend's account since I can't access mine. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards!

Hi Nikola,

I just wanted to clarify that the message I posted on my account was from my friend. I haven't shared any of my Upwork account information with anyone; I simply shared the message from my friend.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

Hi Arjay,

Thank you for your understanding. I completely respect Upwork's policy on account sharing.

Regarding my friend's situation, he has attempted to contact Upwork Support through the chatbot, but unfortunately, he hasn't received any response despite waiting for 7 days now. His ticket ID is #45567796.

If there's any way you could assist with this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Community I am really confused on one thing from upwork. One of my friends profile got suspended from upwork althought he gave his propoer verifcaiton on phone and video call with all the things but still upwork permanently banned his profile. Thats another topic but now after banning the profile upwork said they will return all the money from available balance on which the work is done and the client is happy to the clients back. Now for example if a client paid $1375 upwork is returning $1027 dollar to the client. Where is the rest of $348 gone???? This seems really fishy to me after hearing that. Becasuse if we even calcualte upwork new commission the client should get $1237.5 and ethically upwork should not have taken the fee if the freelancers earned money that he delievered the work of and client is happy and gave 5 stars is stolen and returned back to the client that too with all these deductions 😮 Can anyone explain whats going on here?

Thanks for reaching out on behalf of your team member. If she tried the self-service option and that didn't work for her, she'll need to contact support directly for assistance. We won't be able to share the details of another user's account for privacy and security reasons.

Hi,

I'm currently engaged in a project on Upwork. The client has successfully completed two milestones but has encountered an issue with their payment method for the third milestone. Could you please check what happened?

 

Could you please review the Upwork contract for reference? The contract ID is 36488687. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Title: Account Suspension Post ID Verification: Seeking Community Advice

Description:

Dear Upwork Community,

I'm writing on behalf of my friend who recently encountered a concerning issue on Upwork. Despite completing the ID verification process successfully, their account was unexpectedly suspended.

This suspension has left them in a state of confusion and uncertainty, as Upwork is a vital platform for their freelance work. They've diligently followed all the platform's guidelines and protocols, making this suspension particularly puzzling.

We're reaching out to the community for advice and guidance. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? How did you resolve it? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support during this challenging time.

Best regards,

Sami

My friends account is showing like “permanently blocked “ but she can still login and receive funds. But she can’t withdraw the funds to bank account. Upwork has done the id verification and notified her to change profile picture but she can’t change the profile picture as the icon next to it is frozen.
