Hi, when I go to buy connects it tells me to buy connects.
I've been through the process to setup a card payment (VISA debit) but when I go to save nothing happens, just 'save' is pressed but unactioned.
Can anyone help with this please?
Thanks,
Simon

Hello,
I want to upgade my membership from Freelancer Basic to Freelancer Plus. But I am not able to do that because I am getting an error "Payment was declined".
May 18, 2021 02:36:16 AM by Goran V
Hi Neha,
I would recommend to check with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges or try to add another billing method. Thank you.

Hi,
I wanted to place a bid but there is no balance available in my wallet. so I thought to add my billing details and buy more connections but unfortunately, I can not add the billing method with my debit card details.
Can I use someone's bank account/debit card to pay for the connection?? If not, can you please suggest a way to buy a connection for one time?
Thanks

Hi Ankur,
It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline and confirm if they allow recurring transactions on their debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ’recurring’.
As long as the owner of the billing method authorized you to use it, you should be able to add it to your account. If any issues arise, Upwork team will notify you directly.
Thank you!

Paypal interface is not working , im trying to buy connects through INR , can some help on this.
Jul 27, 2021 11:37:55 PM by Goran V
Hi Sruthi,
I would like to clarify that you will need to have a verified PayPal account with a credit/debit card connected in order to be able to purchase Connects. To learn more about available billing methods and how to add one, check out this Help Article. Thank you.
