Client was happy to my work, He asked for revision and I gave him couple of revisions. Then client asked for the final file, After provide the final work then client showing some lame excuse that he don't want to pay me.

Hi Md. Raju,

 

Project Catalog is where you let clients come to you. When you create a project, it displays as a listing that clients can open to learn more. Clients find you by searching for the skills and services you offer.

 

When you create a project we will first review it before making it visible to clients. Our review includes making sure your project is complete, looks professional, and doesn’t violate our Terms of Service. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

Thank you,

 

 

NOTICE:

We are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

Hi,

 

I submitted my project on Jan 30th. I thought it takes 5 days to approve. It's been 7 days and it's still showing under review.  Can you please check if this is going to be approved soon?

 

Thanks,

Hi All,

 

I created two projects, but they have remained pending for five days. I also sent a ticket to support two days ago and have had no replies. So I would like to know from the community:

 

1) Do projects usually take one week or more to be approved?

2) On average, when do support respond to tickets submitted?

3) When freelance projects are completed, is payment dealt with promptly?

 

Given my experience with Upwork so far, I can only assume the service is less than average. Can someone convince me otherwise?

Hi Jahmil,

 

I checked I can see your first project was submitted last 31- January for review. Please note that it can take up to five business days for your project to be reviewed. However, the team is currently receiving an unusually higher volume of requests. Kindly allow our team a few more days to review your projects. Should we need more information about your submission, our team will send you an email with details on how you can edit the project for approval. Feel free to check out this page to learn more about Project Catalog.

Waqas,

 

Provided the client doesn't approve themselves or ask for a revision, Upwork will automatically release the funds in 14 days. Have a great day!

Hi, I am waiting my Project to be reviewed almost 10 days. Is that normal?

It has been more than five days since I submitted my project catalog for review, and I have yet to receive any updates. I am uncertain as to why my catalog is still under review or if there are any issues that need to be addressed. If there are any concerns or areas for improvement, I would appreciate any feedback to ensure that my catalog meets the necessary standards. Thank you for your attention to this matter.😊
