Hi Mathaios,

We recommend to keep all of your communication on Upwork but sharing your Skype ID or email is not a violation.
Asking or agreeing to get paid outside of Upwork is a violation on our TOS. If you have any additional questions fell free to post them here.

Hi Mathaios,

Remember, the risk of making/receiving payments outside of Upwork is that the Upwork payment protection won't take effect and the profiles involved may be permanently suspended.

The right thing to do is to always adhere to the ToS.

Regards,
Felix
