Meanwhile, if you're experiencing an error like this with sending or accepting an offer, please make sure:

• your and your client's accounts are in good standing

Hello, I am also facing an issue while accepting an offer from a client. It's showing an unexpected error.

The question is why should you hire me ?when there are no. Of people seeking for this opportunity . So, writing is my passion and I believe that the work is done perfectly when the one pays interest and attention in that, although no interest is bigger than passion . I can fulfill your requirement of a beautiful content when i'm searching for a perfect topic to write over. so, I feel that I can do this job with full interest and perfection within the time limit.

Hi,

I can't accept the offer. the error message is coming. Could you please solve the issue?

Hey there, I'm also having the same issue with my old client. They say that they're facing this problem also with the other freelancers. Could you please help me about it?

Since Monday morning, I've also had the same issue of not being able to award a project/hire a freelancer and fund a milestone. Contacted support and submitted a ticket. Today, I received an email that said ticket was resolved, and so I tried, but it's still the same thing. It reports an error on page. Please look into this issue since it might not have been resolved for everyone?

Hi, I'm also having the same problem. Whenever I try to accept an offer, I get this error "An error has occurred. Please try again later".

[c22200f3]

Exact same error happening to me since Monday June 12th, with my first and only contract.  So three months and the bug persists, and the "engineers" still haven't come up with better error messages.  Also, when I raised the support ticket it was auto-closed the next day by the bot with a completely irrelevant answer.

I've been a freelancer here for less than 48 hours and so far my impression of the site is not positive.

I got an offer 2 days ago, and when I try to "accept offer", it gives an error:
"It seems like we ran into an unexpected problem with this offer. Please ask the client to withdraw it and create a new one, or contact technical support."

And, the client won't reply till mid January, and the offer expires of 01/JUL. So, I need some technical support agent to handle my case, and accept the offer for me, or fix what's wrong.

The project is on hourly.
