Hi there, 
I also have the same issue even though I filled out the form and updated it. I can see the Tax identification section showing "completed" but I can still see the notification message. Please help

Hi Elnur and Qaisar,

I can also see that both of your Tax Information under the W-8BEN section has been filled out completely. Please note that completing these forms is required to prove you are not a U.S. citizen and do not need to pay U.S. income taxes. Without this proof, the IRS requires that we withhold 30% of your future earnings to pay for income taxes. As long as a new W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E form is filled out completely, we’re not required to withhold at this rate. You're all set to process a payment as long as you have a valid Payment Method.
