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

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 Nikola, I am also having the same issue Manuel had. I'm trying to access my freelancer account and it says it was suspended. I tried to appeal as suggested by the platform but now Upwork sends me an email saying that the account is not suspended or it does not exist. I created a new customer account to reply to this thread that I will delete when my freelancer account is reinstated. The email associated with my freelancer account that is suspended is **Edited for Community Guidelines** PLEASE HELP!

 

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a client account on Upwork which has been suspended. I believe it happened because I had a balance due, but I didn't realize that my credit card had been blocked by my bank.

I have tried to contact Upwork Support, but I haven't received any response from them. I filed an appeal, which was marked as "solved," but my account is still suspended. I am wondering what steps I can take to reactivate my account.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

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.
