Facing Issue in Buying Connects

[4fc1b224]

Hi, 

I have been trying to buy connects and have tried different payment methods but seems nothing is working.

I don't see a way to directly connect with the support team.

Please help..!

Hi Salma,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked and it looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding.

Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.

Hi Chinazom,

We checked and saw that you've purchased Connects successfully. You can view it here once logged into your Upwork account.

I can see that you tried buying the connects but I will advise you to check the card or the type of billing method that you are using because probably the billing method doesn't correspond with the point of payment.

"We found a problem with your primary billing method and to put it on hold. Update it now."

What could be the issue here? I added a debit card and it showed approved in the Billing and payments section, in account settings.

Can you please help out? Thank you!

Greetings,

I hope you guys are having a good start to the week. I have been trying to purchase connects and I am not able to because is showing an error message like I have to add more details of my billing address. I have tried to add the name of the street on the first line of the address and the rest on the second line of the address, also tried to add the address until the limit of the characters of 60 was reached and continued on the second line to finish to add the address but nothing works. Can I get assistance? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, can anyone help me, I can't Buy connects even I linked my Paypal and Card, and they're already verified.

[LuiggiR]

Hi Zoren,

I see that you haven't set up a billing method to buy Connects yet. Please visit your Billing & Payments page and try setting up a billing method first. Once you do that, you may try purchasing Connects again; let us know if you experience any problems.

"We found a problem with your primary billing method and to put it on hold. Update it now."

I already updated the payment method, but still no solution.

How can you solve this problem?   been dealing with this issue since last week.. 

TY

Dear Upwork Support,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to seek assistance with an issue I've encountered on the platform.

I recently experienced a problem while attempting to purchase connects. A friend, who is also new to Upwork and unaware of the platform's policies, tried to use my virtual card for this purpose. However, the transaction was declined, and unfortunately, I was charged by my card issuing bank for this unsuccessful attempt.

Since this incident, I've been unable to purchase connects despite multiple attempts. Every time I try, I encounter the error message "Recent charge failed" under my card details. Additionally, I receive a notification stating, "Sorry, something went wrong on our end. Please refresh the page and try again. If the issue persists, contact support."

I've already attempted to seek assistance through the chatbot, which directed me to this community forum to address my concern.

I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,

Grace Uba

Please I have the same ''Recent charge failed'' issue when I try to buy connects. I dropped a complaint on this forum yesterday but I'm yet to get any help or response. 

Can you let me know what steps I can take to fix this? 

[NikolaS]

Hi Grace,

Please refer to my previous response to your post. You should contact your card-issuing bank for more information about the specific charge decline.
