 Then the client has 14 days (DAYS, not HOURS) to review your work. Don't pester him.

Hi Ibrahim,

Is this one of your Fixed-Price contracts you requested approval on already? If it is, I see I responded to two of the threads you started previously the same topic. See my the information I shared in my reply here, please read the resources I shared a month ago and let me know if you have any further questions.

[Ibrahim H]

no sir,its a new one

Hi Ibrahim,

I see it's a new contract but since it's a Fixed-Price contract with a funded Milestone, which you've already submitted six hours ago, the same process applies.

Hi Ibrahim,

I see you accepted the client's offer, submitted the work and requested the Milestone funds to be released on the contract details page. You client can approve your request (here are the steps) or the funds will be automatically released to you 14 days from the most recent submission (no need to use the resubmit button more than once), unless your client request changes to the work you have delivered. Please read this Help article for more information.

You can find the client's details on the right side of their job post and you'll need to add a payment method on your Get Paid page in order to withdraw your earnings.

Please make sure to read the Help articles from the Getting Started as a Freelancer section, our Freelancer Guide and check the tips Lena shared here before submitting new proposals.

 You DO have a contract in My Jobs?

Is it hourly or fixed rate?

If fixed rate, did you use the "submit work and request payment" button?

If hourly, did you track your time?

At ANY rate, if you were hired, and did the job only yesterday, stop pestering the client and give him a few days to review your work.

If there is no contract in your My Jobs page, you were not hired, and won't be paid.

 You get paid automatically in 14 days IF the client does not react.

Just because your client is on line does not mean he is available to chat with you. He may be busy, may be working, may be with family,  he may be away, he doesn't HAVE to do anything.

Just leave him in peace, he'll get back to you sooner or later.
