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!

Hi Hassaan,

 

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.

Hi there,

We recently opened an account here to hire freelancers. Unfortunately my account has been suspended and my job posting has been ended by Upwork. Identity is verified and so is my billing method. I would like to repost this job offer in order to receive proposals.

Thanks

Hi Hendric, It would be best to write support and resolve the issue. I could help you draft a compelling message but I don't know what the issue was. Here's Upwork support email: **Edited for Community Guidelines**

Also, when resolved, you can make a quick stop at my profile and see if I can be of assistance to your work:https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0182906016caf8c804

Best!

Hello,

I attempted to make a payment, but it appears that my credit card was not authorized. I contacted the bank, and they authorized the payment; however, now my account is showing as limited. I updated the payment methods as suggested by the chat bot, but unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue.

 

I would like to inquire if there is anything I can do to resolve this situation.

 

Thank you.

Hello, 

I am a brand new user to this website. I was prompted to enter a payment provider, so I added a credit card. I received a notification that the card could not be authorized and my account is now suspended. I have now added two other payment methods - Paypal and another credit card - both of which were successfully authorized by your system, but the hold has not been lifted and I am still being prompted to update my card.


Please explain to me why this continues to happen and how I can resolve it.

Hello, I badly need help. My account has been temporarily suspended and i don't know why. My financial transactions have also been limited.

 

Upwork says check my email for additional information yet there have sent to emails regarding my suspension. I have contacted customer support almost a week ago and still no response from them about my account. I do not even know why I got suspened.

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with your account where you're unable to submit proposals due to a suspension message, but customer support has confirmed that your account is not suspended. This could indeed be a technical issue. I would recommend trying the following steps:

 

1. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again. Make sure you're using a supported browser.
2. Check if the issue persists on a different network or internet connection.
3. Try using a different device to access your account.
4. If the problem remains unresolved, you may want to contact customer support again, providing detailed information about the issue, including the steps you've taken and any error messages you encounter.

 

By following these steps, you should be able to narrow down the problem and hopefully find a solution. Remember, it's essential to be patient and persistent when dealing with technical issues, as they can sometimes be complex and require a systematic approach to resolve.

 

Stay Safe, Stay Secure 🙂

Hello Upwork community members,Hope you are doing well. I created another fake community account because I am not getting response from customer support. As the matter is solved, I will delete this account.  I am very much worried about my account status because I am not getting any response from 12 days. After completing hourly project , Client gave me 5 star review, But on the next day he is asking for refund. Upwork blocked my account. I submitted an appeal for account suspension with following id 46427104 but upwork members marked it as solved without any response. After that I created 2nd ticket for account suspension but still I did not get any response . I had been 6 days since I submitted my 2nd appeal but I am not getting any single reply. Please give me a response.

The Dispute case is now solved with my client. Please remove the restrictions from my account. Please give me an update. Thanks

Hi, my account has been deactivated. It is not my problem that I did not have any clients for more then a year. Honestly there are no "good" clients anymore on upwork, only scammers.

Hi I had a billing issue previously, and I paid the amount due, but my account is still suspended. I tried creating a new account but that account got suspended and now redirects to the first account I made.

 

Can someone please review my account?
