Hey Bojan,  

 

The methods suggested by Annelyn didn't resolve my issue. I am missing out on a lot of job opportunities because of not sending proposals.

 

Please look into this matter!

 

Thanks,

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

I have an alert saying my payment method has a problem. I click it and replace my payment method but the error remains. I add a second payment method, it remains. I tried upgrading my account to the premium service, error remains and I can't upgrade. I tried getting support but it blocks me because I'm not premium. Help!

Hi Aqsa,

 

I checked, and it looks like your card issuing bank decline the transaction. Please reach out to them to confirm the specific decline error. You may also consider using a different billing method instead.

I want to upgrade from Basic Freelancer to Freelancer Plus but my upgrade is unsuccessful. Payment Method has accepted Visa card and card has sufficient amount of balance. But upwork is not able to process payment. Just now, I tested card for international payment by shopping an RC from aliexpress and it worked. Card is accepted there. Now I need upwork to solve this issue for me so I could able to start work. I am stuck.

 

Screenshot of my RC purchase from aliexpress is attached.
