I am trying to buy connects using my HBL Debit card (Same through which I get paid from Upwork), but Upwork is not accepting this card. I have tried twice and it suspends my account after rejecting this card. Please guide me how can I buy connects using my debit card?

Hi,
I have added my VISA card to buy connects.
But when I tried to buy, the payment is declined.
I have tried with my Discover card but also declined.
Please help me to fix this issue.
Thank you

Hi Martin,
I checked the transactions you are referring to and can see that the bank declined the transactions from Upwork. Please contact your local bank for more information on why this transaction was declined.

Please, I have been struggling to buy connects using my local bank issued MasterCard debit card. I have used same card to make payment on ther other marketplaces in the past and it worked well.

I forgot to leave enough cash in my card account (that's linked to my paypal) for the subscription and now when i try to activate freelancer+ i get the following error "Your payment could not be processed. Please choose an alternate payment method or retry again later." Is there something wrong with the connection betweem upwork and paypal or?

You know....for all the money that upwork keeps from each contract....a simple "hey people, this is what's up, and we're working on it" is the least possible effort geared towards the hundreds of thousands of users.
Jan 17, 2020 10:20:28 PM by Michelle G
I've not been able to buy connects and it's frustrating. I want to buy directly from papal to upwork but it still asks that I link my card. Please help to sort this as i'm not using any bank account hence no card to be linked.
Jan 17, 2020 11:20:43 PM by Aleksandar D
Hi Michelle,
Please note before you can add PayPal as a billing method, it must be verified or you need to link it to a debit or credit card. Kindly reach out to PayPal directly to ask for assistance on how to verify your PayPal account.
Thank you.
Jan 17, 2020 10:23:42 PM by Michelle G
Please, can upwork provide the option to buy connects via MPESA?
I've not been able to buy connects and it's frustrating because I now cannot send any proposals.
Jan 18, 2020 03:11:18 AM by Aleksandar D
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, MPESA can't be used to purchase Connects. Purchasing Connects can vary based on your location, but you should be able to purchase Connects with a credit card or prepaid card. If you aren’t able to use a credit card or prepaid card or you don’t have an Upwork balance, in many cases you’ll be able to use PayPal. To see the options available to you, check out this page. Additionally, if you have a balance on Upwork you can use it to buy Connects.
Thank you.

Hi there!
I have been trying to use Paypal and Visa for my payments to by more connects, but both of them are declined. Kindly reach out for assistance.

Krishanu S.
Jun 7, 2020 02:51:22 AM by Aleksandar D
Hi Krishanu,
Please note that only verified PayPal accounts can be used to purchase Connects. Regarding your other method, please check with your bank for more information on why the specific charge was declined. You can also check the options available to you and learn more about acceptable billing methods.
Thank you.

Hi Krishanu,
While the availability of billing methods depend on a user’s location, user’s from India can add their debit/credit cards as a billing method on Upwork, but the card itself should allow recurring transactions as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’ (for example, for membership fees).
Thank you.

Hello,
I would like to buy 10 connects using only Paypal, however, it always directed me to credit card info after clicking the paypal button. Even when I tried to set up a billing method, it still leads me to that credit card info. How can i only buy connects using Paypal without leading me to credit card info?
Jan 18, 2020 07:58:39 AM by Aleksandar D
Hi Aprilia,
Please note before you can add PayPal as a billing method, it must be verified or you need to link it to a debit or credit card. Kindly reach out to PayPal directly to ask for assistance on how to verify your PayPal account.
