 Go to "Reports > Overview"

When I click on "pending date" this is what I see "The page you were looking for doesn't exist"

Hi Mattia,

 

I just checked this for you and I wasn't able to replicate the issue you described. Please try to clear your cache and cookies or try using another browser to check if you`re able to see the status of your payment by clicking on the 'Reports' tab and then clicking on 'Overview', funds for your work are currently in the Pending tab. If you're still experiencing the same issues on your end, let us know. Thank you.

Nothing.. my balance is always 0..

Hi Mattia,

 

I checked your account and it looks like your balance is currently pending. When your client releases a milestone or final payment on a fixed-price job, it immediately shows as pending on your financial account. They become available after the standard five-day security period.
