Hi

 

Any help with this?

 

Always asking the credit card number but I want to use just some amount that is on my Paypal account, so without a credit card!

 

Thanks

Hi Attila,

 

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. For cases like this, a funding source is required to add Paypal as a billing method. You can also check the options available to you and learn more about acceptable billing methods

 

You may want to talk to PayPal about what type of payment method can be added to your PayPal wallet.

Hi Nikola,

 

I don't have a linked credit or debit card for recurring payments.

 

just have some amount on my Paypal account.

 

So in that case, there is no way to use it?

 

Thanks

Edited to add information:

 

Yes, in order to add a PayPal Account:

 

  • Your PayPal account must be verified, active, and in good standing
  • You must have an active Billing Agreement with Upwork — this billing agreement is signed as part of the add PayPal
  • flow on Upwork
  • Your PayPal account must not be a student account
  • Your PayPal account must be set up with a primary and back-up payment method

Hi Attila,

 

Sorry about any confusion, but you must have a payment method in your PayPal wallet in order for you to use it as a billing method. Your PayPal account must be set up with a primary and back-up payment method. Feel free to check this help article for other alternatives.

 

Thank you.

Goran could you please take a look.

My payment was unable to be processed because I need to verify my identity which I have done several times, this is first time that this happens, 
How can I solve this when the option to verify my identity says we are currently reviewing your documents (that I have submitted a year ago) and I dont have another option how to speed up the process.

Thank you in advance for your reply

Best Regards
