Hello,

I am a new to Upwork and registered as a freelancer a few days ago.

I got 20 connects at first time but run out of almost of them so wanted to buy connects or to upgrade the membership.

I added the Paypal and debit card but it always says that charge failed.

That's weird, because I had paid other things with my Paypal account.

Please help me how I can fix that issues.

Thanks.

Dear friend,

Please make sure that the card you are using is suitable for international
payments.

Some of the debit cards are not compatible with international payments.

You can get more details from the card issuing bank.

Hi, I have connected paypal account successfully and also have USD in it. Since its saying payment method failed, when I try to buy some connects. Please help. I have also tried to connect my International debit card, that also not accepted here on upwork, Why?

Hi Ashwani, 

 

I checked your account and would recommend that you add an alternative payment method to your PayPal wallet in order to add your PayPal account as a billing method on Upwork. Once done, please try purchasing Connects with your Paypal account again by adding it as a billing method to see if the issue persists.

Hello, 

 

I am trying to purchase connects and trying to add bank details but getting errors.

 

Thanks

Hi Yash,

 

Please add one of our available Billing Methods. Once your billing method is active you should be able to purchase connects. I would also recommend checking with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges. If you`re still receiving the same error after this, let me know and our team will assist you further. Thank you.

Hi, I want to buy connects. But I don't have own card (master/credit) to pay. Can I pay by adding any other people's card, if he allows me to do so?

Hi Hasan,

 

Please use a billing method you are authorized to use. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly. Thank you.

~ Goran

Oh yes my friend.
With the consent of the card owner, you may use the card to buy contents.

All the best.
