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.

I registered a card before and it was rejected, then once again i registered another one and that was accepted correctly. but my account is still suspended and I am not able to do anything, I am not able to apply to any job and I am not sure if anyone can message me because I have an active proposal 

 

I hope the problem gets fixed as soon as possible

Thank you for your service

Hi, I am new with Upwork.

 

I have fixed my payment/billing method by updating, remove and reupdating once again.

Still with the same error: We found a problem with your primary billing method and to put it on hold.

Please advise

Hi there,
I'm facing an issue that I tried to post a job for a service but it shows "We're unable to post your job because your company has been suspended. Contact Upwork Support for more information."

 

Can you please tell me why it is happening? And How can I solve it?

Thanks

Hi
As a developer of Upwork, I have been working with clients on upwork.
Recently, I received a message stating that my account had been blocked and was asked to verify my ID.
After successfully completing the ID verification process, I received a confirmation that my ID had been verified.
However, upon trying to access my account, I received the same message stating that it had been blocked. I reported this issue to the Upwork support team, who informed me that my account had been permanently suspended.
I am truly disappointed and still confused by the conflicting messages from the Upwork team.

Can you provide clarification on why my account was blocked despite completing the ID verification process?
Thank you.

Thank you for your message.
I couldn't log in to my account, so I had to create a new account to post an issue.

I have entered my credit card information which has no issues anywhere else, and as a back-up I have added a pay pal as well. But I keep receiving a message "We found a problem with your primary billing method and to put it on hold. Update it now." and that my account is restricted.

 

I am not sure how to reach out to support as the Chat bot just sends me articles.

Hey Upwork,

My account is on hold. I am a verified freelance with approve 400+ earnings. Tomorrow I received another. I attached the bank account and they asked for the identity verification. Pls, give me a response as soon as possible. It really means a lot to me. I am your trusty freelancer and this is my only asset of earning. I went through the link and tried to submit it but the OTP is not receiving on my account also there is the error of being maximum limit we send as you see in screenshot attached below.

Thanks, Arjay for replying back. I didn't receive OTP for further verification.  Please resolve the issue as soon as possible. I have all the document required. Let me clear that my ID card name is Ahmed Raza while the account of bank is made on Ahmed. The rest are the same eg my cnic or all the things.

It is common, no more fast support. Refresh your ticket with updates and additional questions. No other ways.

Hello,

 

I don't know why I'm suspended. I posted a job and can't see why I'm suspended.

I'm also add a paying method (Paypal). 
Is the reason the manual view of my identification?

I think there was a misunderstanding, I have written the job with AI and that I need help for my thesis, but the help was  installing of a given local website (with instructions ) from the university not the theses itself.

 

Regards

My new account is suspended/says I need updated billing.  I tried to chat with support but the bot just keeps saying to check my email (no email) or to go to upwork academy.  How do I get help on this?  I tried adding a new billing method, but it still says I'm suspended/need to update billing
