Hi, 

Same problem. Hiring a freelancer and the processing page keeps loading indefinitely. Payment has been debited from my bank card and I can see the it reflected in my Transaction History. No email from upwork confirming payment and can't proceed to give freelancer contract instructions.

Someone please help us.

My cc was charged twice by the app for the same project. How can I cancel/get a refund?

We are trying to hire a couple of freelancers, but there seems to be a glitch in the platform that doesn't allow us to send the offer. We've tried to make the payments though different upwork accounts, and different browser servers, but nothing has helped. Is there a glitch going on?

I was able to access my account literally minutes ago and now I have no access.

Hi,

I've got the same error when trying to hire a freelancer just now. Attempted 3 times across Safari and Chrome browsers and got the error message each time. First time the payment page just kept reloading/refreshing until i pressed 'back'. My account however has been debited for the first milestone and i got an upwork email to confirm this also. Nothing shows in my Hires/Contracts on Upwork however. 

Also concerned i may get charged for the first milestone multiple times considering i tried a few times and have already been charged once. 

On your status page it says this was fixed yesterday but its obviously still an issue. 

Thanks,

Simmy
