Hello everyone, I have question to you. Client purchased my project catalog, After get the requirement I started work. 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.

Is there any solution? How can I get paid from a project catalog?

Thanks, Raju

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 Loretta,

 

Thank you for reaching out. Please note that when you submit a project, we will look at it before clients can purchase it. We want to help make sure that your project displays professionalism, and is free of grammar issues, typos, etc. We'll also review to ensure that the project meets Upwork's Terms of Service. This not only helps build trust with prospective clients but helps keep Upwork a professional platform. Usually, our review takes about 5 business days. However, we are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

 

We’ll let you know in an email if we think anything should be changed. Editing is a normal part of the creative process, so don’t be discouraged if we ask you to make some changes. We seek your patience and utmost understanding while sorting this out for you. Thank you!

Hi,

 

I submitted a project for review on 09-03-2023 but no response from upwork is received till today and it is still "Under Review"

 

I need to ask why its taking too long to review or should we understand that upwork platform is not favorable for new freelancers?

My two projects under review from Mar 7,2023 how mach the  duration  of the under review process

Abu Ansarul's avatar

The review process for Upwork Catalog projects can take varying lengths of time, depending on a number of factors, including the complexity of the project, the availability of reviewers, and the number of projects in the queue for review.

 

It's not uncommon for reviews to take several weeks or even longer. However, if your projects have been under review for a full month, it may be worth reaching out to Upwork support to inquire about the status of the review.

 

You can contact Upwork support by visiting the Help Center and clicking on the "Contact Support" button. From there, you can submit a support request with details about your projects and request an update on their review status. The Upwork support team should be able to provide you with more information about when you can expect a decision on your projects.

Dear Sir,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to inquire about the status of my project catalog that I submitted on March 8th. I understand that the usual processing time is up to five business days, but it has been nine days since my submission. Therefore, I kindly request that you check the status of my project catalog and expedite the posting process as soon as possible.

 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello, Upwork community,

My name is Imran, On 11 March 2023, I created a project catalog, but it has been almost six days my project is still under review. Can you please let me know if there is any issue with it or if this is a sign of the project being rejected?

Thank you

I proposed a project which had some issues that needing fixing.  I fixed them and waited more than a month without a review.  I then started a new project and deleted the old one.  Still no review.  Does anyone know how to move forward from here?  I havent been able to reach support, the phone number the robot provides is incorrect.  I'm out of ideas, and I cant even find an email for support.

It has been two weeks since my project has been submitted and pending review. Everywhere I read, it says the review can take up to 5 days. Can someone give me an accurate review period to expect?
