Account Suspended

[#1]

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!

Hello,

I have just registered at Upwork, but suddenly my company account got suspended without any reason. And the message keep asking me to press ctrl + dot. But nothing happened. What should I do ?

Hi,

This is the ID#45920552 Suspension Appeal I used to get support for account reactivation, but the support team is refering me to another ticket ID#45920261 Upwork Identity Verification Request which is not related and closed my former ticket,

Could you help and check again ?

Regards,

Kevin

My friends account is showing like “permanently blocked “ but she can still login and receive funds. But she can’t withdraw the funds to bank account. Upwork has done the id verification and notified her to change profile picture but she can’t change the profile picture as the icon next to it is frozen.

The first post I put in for a job wouldn't allow me to access the people who applied.  Closed that and wrote a new post and now Upwork won't let me invite applicants.  I really am baffled.  I have added a payment 4 times and have also deposited almost the entire amount for the job in escrow.  Anybody else having this problem?

Loved the platform till I tried to interview some great candidates and was messaged I needed to provide payment for escrow. Reasonable.  I did it four times.  Nada, like nada thing.  I finally paypalled the money.  Still no good.  Today I just closesd the posting and wrote another.  Now I can't invite applicants.  Anybody else experience this?  The chat bot isn't quite catching what I am asking and I spent all day yesterday reading suggestions that weren't applicable.

Thank you,

Debra

Hi all, I tried to input billing info, and got the error: Our records indicate that the payment method entered is already associated with the maximum number of accounts. Please add a different payment method.

I don't know how to resolve this as I only have one account. Please help. Thanks.

Hi - I am unable to do anything in my Upwork account. Help would be appreciated:

• Can't start new contracts with freelancers
• Can't post a new job
• Can't reach out to new freelancers

I have no idea why this is happening and I've had no notification or email from Upwork about why this has happened.

Please help as this is affecting my business 

Many thanks,

I’ll do my best to make long story short but clear. Although it would be quite a challenging task for me now as I’m pretty pissed off and to some extant desperate.

I’m an exclusive freelancer for IDAP Agency and one of its managers. As far as our Agency’s owner account was suspended and he cannot write to Support forum I’ll do it.

On October 24, 2023 our Agency owner discovered that his account was suspended. Why I’m writing “discovered” is because he didn’t receive any e-mails or notifications beforehand informing of upcoming suspension and actions to take in order to avoid this. After that, financial transactions of our Agency was blocked as well.

Since that time he did every single thing Upwork support team has advised. Still we are where 4 months ago, with both our owner’s and Agency’s accounts blocked. And support team, as an old cracked toy, keep on repeating the same thing “There is a payment method on your account that has billing information in a US-sanctioned location.” BUT THERE IS NONE!

What’s more during this 4+ months while issue remains unresolved Support team answered generous three (!) times.

Is anybody able to help? Or it is simply the way Upwork works now? And the best I can do is keep on writing support team in hopeless effort to "break the wall with my head"?

If Upwork saw US-sanctioned location somewhere in our owner’s profile on their side, just write him step by step as precisely as possible how to find this mysteriously hidden address, so he could find where it is and change it.

My account was suspended 3 days ago, and I have been trying is so many different ways to obtain support from Upwork, I have already filed the appeal and I'm just receiving the email that my account is not suspended, but everytime I try to access I received the pop up that it is. I have tried calling, I have tried to reach out sending emails, and I do not obtain a single answer form you. Only chatbots that can't provide the correct guidance.

This is the day number 3 that I'm working without tracking my hours, and Upwork does not even reply. I created this other account to be able to post this as I really want to recover my original account. 

Please provide the assistance needed, my original account email is **Edited for Community Guidelines**
