Account Suspended

Please resolve my issue !!
I am not able to submit proposals as it says "you can't submit a proposal because your account is suspended.".
However, when I submitted an appeal to unsuspend my account they responded that my account is not suspended. Please resolve my issue.
I'm not getting a proper support on this. I've been only asked to clear cache & cookies & I've tried it several times but doesn't work. Also, the same issue persists on mobile app. There must be a technical issue then. Please investigate this matter.

Thank you!

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

If the action buttons that you usually use are grayed out, the Trust & Safety team may have suspended your account. In that case, you will have received a support ticket with an email notification about the action on your account. Please refer to your ticket on this page and reply to the email if you have any questions for the team.

Please resolve my issue !!

 

It has been more than 15 days and it has not been clarified what I should do to recover my account.

After contacting the support, I received a message explaining my case, I recommended the case, but so far I have not received any response.

Will it take long?

What should I do now?

thank you

I've submitted, and resubmitted identity documents through the mobile app, and have not heard back from support for weeks. Is there something I am missing or does this process usually take this long? I'd really love to start working more on Upwork, but cannot go too much longer without a timeline at least.

Hello!

I am new to Upwork, and have applied to many postings, and accept one offer and am wanting to accept another.

However, my accept offer  button and my apply now button is grayed out and I cannot click on them.  The chat bot is not very helpful.  Anyone know why this would happen?

 

Thanks

Kristen W.

This happens when you've already applied for the job, the job is no longer available or the posting has been removed. Check on the top left and know which prompt is displayed.

Hi,

 

I have a serious issue with my client account. Today I posted a job, a freelancer has applied for my job, then I was going to send a message to him before hiring. Then Upwork showed, that before sending messages, I needed to add a billing method. I was going to add my billing method, but then they showed a red notification on top of my account, please check the attached ss. I understood that Upwork is checking my client account since I haven't hired anyone before from my client account. But why is it showing on top of my freelancer account as well? I've successfully crossed my 9 weeks to be a Top-rated freelancer, will this hold effect on my freelancer account and top-rated eligible weeks? I'm very concerned about it. Please anyone let me know. Thanks

Hi Ms. AveryO, 

 

I hope this message finds you well. 

My concern is not related to the topic however, this is the only way I know to reach you.

Just this morning  (MNL Time) I got accepted for a job with a client who is looking for a social media manager, I was happy to have a client I can work with. He/She asked me to process a cryptocurrency transaction and paid me on Upwork to make sure that the transaction was clean and that the payment I received for the service and the reimbursement of my expense is paid duly. Then in the afternoon (MNL Timezone) I received an email regarding the suspension of my account. I am utterly shocked and worried about my other client and the payment I am to receive for the services I did for 2 weeks. I have complied with the email that was sent to me and yet I don't have any update as to what step should I take next. I can't afford to lose my other client since the job is my only source of income. And I can't communicate with him outside the platform since we only communicate through Upwork Message.

 

What should I do? Will you please elighten me and help me? It would really mean a lot to me! 

 

Thanks, 

 

Eileen Mae Bernolo

I've been updating regularly and there aren't any replies. There is an offer that I don't want to miss but I might miss it because I'm still blocked 😞

I received my first contract. Everything i've been reading says I should be able to take more than one contract at a time. However, when I go back to review jobs, the "apply" option is grayed out.  I understand there are several possible causes: ID verification, payment issues, etc. I have attempted to review all of these things on my profile, and I'm baffled. Other than ID verification, which appears to be awaiting manual review from Upwork, there is no other missing or flagged information.

 

Thank you,

Laura

Hi Arjay, 

 

My account was reinstated already however, I cannot find a certain pay on my account. I have screenshots to prove that the pay should reflect on my account but I don't know who to reach out to. Thank you for responding in advance.
