Hi Sandeep,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the trouble while purchasing Connects. In general, this happens when the transactions you’re attempting on your card keep being declined by the bank. Please contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
If you’re still experiencing issues after checking with your bank, a quick way to contact our support team is by clicking the 'Chat with Upwork' button on the Contact Support page.
Thank you
Pradeep

Hi Ahmad,
Thank you for your message. I checked the transaction you are referring to and can confirm that your card was declined with the reason, 'Insufficient funds/over credit limit'. Could you please contact your card issuing bank to check available limits and permission to complete international transactions?

Hi,
I'm receiving the following when trying to buy connects "We are sorry but we cannot setup PayPal as your payment method because it is not verified. Please verify your PayPal account or add a payment card"

Hi Ariel,
I'm sorry you're having trouble buying Connects. If you haven't already, could you please confirm if your PayPal account is verified? You can check this article for more information.

I am writing to report an issue I encountered while attempting to purchase connects on the Upwork platform. Upon trying to complete the transaction using my debit card, the payment of Rs. 1615.77 was deducted from my account, but the connects were not received. Additionally, an error message appeared, stating: "Something went wrong from our side, please refresh the page."
I'm attempting to engage with chat support, but I'm encountering an issue where only one message is displayed at a time. Despite my efforts, I haven't found a solution to this problem yet.

I use agency profile and tried to buy connects with account balance. Previously it's worked (past week).
"Since you have enough money in your Upwork account, we’ll use it for this purchase."
But this week I got this message: Sorry, we couldn't charge the billing method you selected. Please try a different one. If you still need help, contact customer support.
Can you please help with this?

Hello, I want to know what the problem is with my credit card. I tried to link it to Upwork twice, and both times my account got closed. So, I opened a PayPal account, linked and validated the credit card correctly, but Upwork doesn't accept my PayPal account. I transferred money to PayPal so I wouldn't have to use the card and could pay directly with PayPal funds, but it still denies me. I don't know what else to do. Please tell me how to resolve this issue.
I really need to start applying for work. I've made my introductory video, uploaded my works, invested my time in creating my profile on Upwork, and I don't understand why they won't let me use my account. I use this credit card to pay for YouTube, Google, Netflix, etc., and I've never had any issues. Even PayPal accepted and validated it correctly.
Please tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it.
Thank you very much in advance.
Lila

I have found a problem with adding the primary billing method. When I added my Visa debit card it showed the error" We are unable to authorize your card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank" Please investigate this issue. I have already Used the "Chat with Upwork" button on the Contact Support page to get help from the chatbot. But no solution was found. Please help to resolve my issue.
Apr 8, 2024 04:41:59 AM by Luiggi R
Hi Meenakshi,
Would you please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm why the authorization is failing? Let us know if the problem persists after you've done so, and we'll investigate further.
Apr 8, 2024 09:19:54 PM by Meenakshi M
Hi Luiggi- Okay, I will contact the bank to see if there is any problem from the bank end. Thanks!
Apr 8, 2024 09:04:16 AM by Meenakshi M
Hello Upwork, I've encountered an issue adding my Visa debit card as the primary billing method on Upwork. An error message states, "Unable to authorize your card." I've tried the chatbot support but found no solution. Urgently seeking resolution.
Apr 8, 2024 12:04:44 PM by Arjay M
Hi Meenakshi,
I'm sorry you're having difficulties processing payments using your Debit Card. Generally, this happens when the bank keeps declining transactions you're attempting on your card. You may contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
Let us know if you need further assistance afterward; we'll gladly assist. We're looking forward to your confirmation.
Apr 8, 2024 05:57:38 PM by Meenakshi M
Hi Arjay, I have two more concerns.
1st. My name is on Upwork. I have only a single name, "Meenakshi" No last name.
Under contact info on Upwork, the last name is required, so I have added "Choudhary" as a last name. But on my bank statement, I have only a single legal name "Meenakshi". Please suggest to me what I should do. Upwork chatbot provides a generic response on that matter.
When I add the billing method, I can not leave blank the last name. It's required to fill. By default, it shows Meenakshi Choudhary as first and last name.
2nd. I received a PAN notification again and again whenever I removed it.
In compliance with Tax Law in India, Upwork withholds 1% Tax at Deduction Source (TDS) from your payments. The TDS can be as much as 5% if you haven't provided your govt. issued tax ID yet. Please click here to add your PAN ASAP.
I have already added my PAN to Upwork and it is already linked to my Aadhar card as well. Please investigate this from your end. Thanks!
Apr 8, 2024 08:47:46 PM by Joanne P
Hi Meenakshi,
We have requested the assistance of our team. Please allow them time to review your concern regarding your name.
As for your concern with your TDS, if you provide a valid GSTIN to Upwork, we will not have to collect this tax from you. We checked, and it shows that you did not provide your GSTIN. You can enter or edit your GSTIN in your account’s Settings > Tax Information.
You can find more information in this help article.
Apr 8, 2024 09:14:06 PM by Meenakshi M
Hi Joanne,
Sure, take your time to review concerns about my name.
For GSTIN I have selected the option "I don't have a GSTIN" under the tax information setting of Upwork. I don’t have a GSTIN number, what should I do?

Hope this message finds you well, I´m trying to buy Connects using funds from PayPal, and I can´t because I don´t have a credit card, I was thinking of asking a business that buys online, hoping they allow me to use their credit card to buy Connects, but I want to make sure this is something I could do to avoid negative impact on my account.
Apr 6, 2024 08:36:25 AM by Luiggi R
Hi Kermit,
Do you mean to use someone else's Credit Card in your account to buy Connects? If that's the case, please know that you may be able to use it as long as its owner authorizes you to do so. A verification may be triggered to validate this, and you will be contacted by the relevant team on how to proceed.
Apr 8, 2024 09:03:14 AM by Kermit B
Hi Luiggi thanks for answering, which type of information they may verify from the cardholder, and if it's a business the verification process be the same? Thanks again for your time, regards.
Apr 8, 2024 11:38:42 AM Edited Apr 8, 2024 11:46:19 AM by Arjay M
Hi Kermit, Arjay here stepping in for Luiggi,
Yes! As Luiggi mentioned, the appropriate team may conduct a set of verification to confirm that you're an authorized user of the card. The team may ask you to verify the billing method that you have on file by providing information to a secured link such as:
You'll be provided with more information and instructions on how to complete the verification. I hope this clarifies.
