Upwork reversed PayPal scheduled payment

Hey all! I couldn't find anything similar in here to answer my question. Every week (for what seems like forever) I get my scheduled payment and it's within my PayPal account almost immediately. I even got the email from Upwork to say it had been put in there, as is usual for every week.

 

This time, however, it wasn't there! I waited 24 hours as is protocol and rang PayPal. They said they had no transaction history. I then went back through my transaction history and Upwork had reversed the payment (and withdrawal fee). 

 

Before I go ahead and request the money from Upwork, I was hoping to find a reason why this would occur. Any ideas? 

 

Cheers team!

Ideal, thanks! I know I can manually request the payment again, but I just wanted to wait until I could find out why it did it so I can avoid it from happening again 🙂

The same thing has happened to me. Yesterday PayPal told me there was no UW transfer and when I contacted UW they told me to wait. Today I received a mail from UW saying the transaction was reversed because of PayPal unscheduled maintenance. Apparently, the funds will be re-credited to my UW account within 24 hours. PayPal says they're unaware of any unscheduled maintenance on their side.

 

 Suppose I'll have to wait and see...

Every time there's a problem with paypal transactions, there are no answers and Upwork and PayPal point fingers at each other. But, the money typically turns up in fairly short order.
