Hi Valeria, I am also facing the same issue. Upwork has not gotten back to me with a reply yet and it is a very timely situation. Please I need urgent assistance on my current contract, it was refunded to my client without consent and the project has been completed. Please can you look into this? Thank you

Hi Raisha,

 

Thank you for your message. I see that you have initiated multiple support tickets on your account. Please note that all inquiries via support tickets are answered in the manner they are received in the queue. That said, please allow 48 hours for the team to review and respond to your inquiry. Please avoid creating multiple tickets as this may delay responses to your requests.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi Mr. Pradeep,

 

I really appreciate your reply. It had been more than 6 days since I created my initial support ticket and as no one responded I sent direct email to **edited for Community Guidelines** which got me a reply. Hence, multiple tickets creation.

 

The issues I want to understand are regarding Tax and Location re-verification. These are both very important for me to solve within Thurs-Fri otherwise my Upwork account will be disabled. So, I really hope the UpWork support replies me ASAP.

 

Thank you again!

Hi Raisha, 

I can see that you're being assisted through your support ticket. Note that tickets are addressed by the order they are received. There may be a delay due to the increase in the volume of support requests but rest assured our representatives will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi Avery,

 

Yes, they got back to me. As I me mentioned there are two issues I need help with:

  1. Location Re-Verification
  2. Updating my tax info -  W-8BEN

 

My location verification is under review.

 

But regarding W-8BEN Form which I sent to UpWork's tax department (as asked by UpWork support); there has been no response. I am not sure if my form that I filled is correct and accepted. 

 

I got an email with texts.... It’s important to complete the form by Dec. 31, 2022, otherwise we will have to begin withholding U.S. income taxes from your earnings on Upwork.

 

I need an assurance email that all is fine now and it won't affect my earnings. 

 

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Raisha

If your client's payment method fails, or they request a chargeback, and/or you were involved in activities that were against the terms of service, then your payment will be reversed. Your client is the person that you need to talk to about this.

Hello, I have the same issue and Upwork has not been responding or resolving my issue. My issue is,  I cannot join an agency, when I click on accept invite so it redirects me to Upwork's home page. My issue is not being addressed by Upwork's customer representative. As a result, I am not able to work for my client.

Hi Syed,

 

I understand that you may not be satisfied with how your concern is being handled, but I won’t be able to assist you here further. Your ticket is assigned to the correct team, and they are providing the correct information and instructions. I would recommend responding to the same ticket thread so that the team is updated with your concerns and is able to assist you more efficiently.

Thankyou for your prompt response. Unfortunately, the team is least bothered in addressing my concern. Is there a way I can reach out to someone more responsible or expedite this process in any way.
