Hi Ramesh,

Please check with your bank if your account is enabled for international charges or try to purchase connects with another billing method. Thank you.

Hi Adam,

In order to use Paypal as a billing method on Upwork, your Paypal account must have a linked credit or debit card for recurring payments. You can't use your Paypal balance. 

[#10]

Starting to get silly - just trying to get some credits.

Entered my CC info and it says

Please enter "Card Number".
Month is required.

Year is required.

Please enter "Security Code".

All this information is entered....

[#13]

Hello, I'm trying to buy some connects with PayPal using my PayPal balance but it tells me I need to pay with a my bank account?  Why can't I pay with PayPal balance?

[#14]

Hi Adam,

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.

You'll be able to select from an alternative billing method in your account payment options.

[#15]

Same issue. When I go to set that up it only asks for my bank account payment option info on paypal. Not my paypal account balance for payment.

[#16]

Hi Adam,

To add Paypal as your billing method on Upwork, you will need to link your Paypal account to either a credit card or a bank account. You can read this help article for more information.

Hello Upwork

I want to buy Upwork connects when I'm going to set up billing credentials it show error " Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later.

Also, I received a message from my bank that Upwork deducts some cents from your account. I want to know why you deduct cents from my account? Also, the billing method not processed it showing error again and again. When there is no fee during adding billing method so why you deduct some cents from my account?

Hi, 

I have been facing a problem. I can't upgrade to freelancer plus. Is there any way I can talk to an Upwork person who can give a solution? I can't talk to bot about this issue. I really need some help! 

Thank you.
