Hello,

I can't set up my billing method with Paypal. Every time I try to do it, I get the following message:

"We are sorry but we cannot setup PayPal as your payment method because it is not verified. Please verify your PayPal account or add a payment card."

However, I have my Paypal account set up and approved by you as my payment method.

I have a card as an approved billing method however, I also want to have my Paypal account as a billing method.

I have contacted Paypal and, they have verified my account. They tell me the problem is with Upwork.

Please, I need a solution.

Thank you very much.
