I am new to upwork. There are 4 connections now. 

So I am going to purchase the connection using paypal.

When I add the billing method and login with paypal, but they ask me to link the credit card.

I can pay using paypal or not?

I need help about this problem.

I had the same trouble, it looks like to be able to do so is necessary to associate a credit card with Paypal. If you can't do so then you can't use Paypal.

Hi Antonio,

 

Please note that only a verified PayPal account can be used as a billing method. To learn more about verifying and linking your PayPal account, click here.

 

Please check the options available to you and learn more about acceptable billing methods for paying memberships.

Hi Janina, 

I checked your account and can see that the credit card has declined the transaction. I would recommend that your reach out to your issuing bank to clarify why the transaction was declined. In the meantime, you may opt to add an alternative billing method to be able to purchase connects for your account.

I tried my other debit card with different bank. It says " We are unable to
authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your
issuing bank." Please help me to solve this. Thank you.

Same problem with mine. Can't buy connects. Already tried 3 different payment methods (2 bank accounts and 1 PayPal). They keep on getting declined. The page keeps on saying **Edited for Community Guidelines**

 

What should we do? I think this is a problem with the system or something if multiple users are being affected.

I'm new to rework...and when I signed up as a Freelancer, I was given 10 Buy Connects. I'm nearly out of those initial 10. I'm trying to buy more, but after I enter my credit card information, the screen goes blank. When I log back on, I don't have any more connects. Please help. Thanks.
