I have received two emails confirming that my account application has been approved and I am ready to submit proposals. However, I can only submit proposals on the mobile app and the site still gives me the error stating that I cannot submit at this time. It has been over 24 hours and I have not received any other emails. A friend of mine tried to search for me and said she couldn't find me so it must not be live yet even though I received an email specifically stating 'Your profile is now live!'. Please help.

Hello,

 

I can't submit a proposal from my web browser. It says : You cannot submit proposals on Upwork at this time. Please check your email or our help page for more information.

 

But I can submit from my smartphone. How can it be fixed so I can submit from my web browser too? (I'm using Chrome and Safari and both have the same message)

 

Thank you.

Hi 

 

I am unable to submit proposals today, although I could easily submit proposals till yesterday. I have sufficient Connects left. I am using my real name also. I am getting the following message:

"You cannot submit proposals on Upwork at this time. Please check your email or our help center for more information."

 

I haven't received any email regarding this. Kindly help me out as I would really like to get started on Upwork and be a regular worker.

Thank you

Hi there,

I am able to submit proposals via the Upwork mobile APP but when I try to access the same job via the desktop, I get the message "You cannot submit proposals on Upwork at this time. Please check your email or our help page for more information." and the 'Submit a proposal' button is greyed out.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!

Please check your email or our help page for more information."

 

Can you help me with this please?

Hi,

 

I still haven't recieved a response about not being able to submit proposals on the desktop app but works fine on the mobile app. I tried to contact Upwork directly but the help page just sent me back to the forums with no option to email directly.

 

Thanks,

 

Stan.

I am unable to submit proposals even though my profile was approved. The "submit proposal" button is grayed out and a link above sends me to a page about unapproved profiles. My profile was declined once before, but now it's approved and should be operational.

My account was approved, however, I keep getting this message on every job I look at: "You cannot submit proposals on Upwork at this time. Please check your email or our help page for more information."

 

I've tried looking at other people's posts about this an none of them were helpful.  If anyone knows why this is happening your help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
