Hello, I just did my first purchased of connects on the site and I got only 2 when I paid for 10 is there something I'm missing out or are they going to be added later on in my account or what happened to the other 8 I paid for? 
Thanks in advance!

It keeps throwing an error on the billing month and year which is correct. Seems to be broken. Don't want to use a cc.

Hi there. I would like to use my debit card on your site and not use PayPal. It should be working, not sure why it's not.

Need help. I can't buy connects. It keeps on saying payment could not be processed though my visa debit card has funds in it. I received a text saying to change my spending limit to 250,000 php. Why should there be a need to change that much of a spending limit when all I'm trying to purchase is about 150 php. That's a huge difference.

Hi Upwork!

 

As I'm facing issues while integrating payment method and I have reported to upwork 4, 5 days ago. Here is the link "https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/Your-payment-could-not-be-processed-Please-choose-an-alt...". And in response customer support team has created the ticket to assist me. He/She response me on my tikcet only 1st time.  But later, customer representative is not giving me  any single response on my ticket as the current ticket status is "Open". I hope Upwork team can understand and will sort my issue as soon as possible.

 

Regards

Ahtazaz
