When I tried to transfer my funds to paypal I received an email which stated the following:

 

Your payment has been rejected. 

We attempted to process your recent payment request but unfortunately it failed.

The reason for returned funds: Unable to apply funds.

As a result, the funds have been returned to your Upwork account and we need you to update your payment method for future payments.

Please fix it so I can get my money, thanks.

Hello Bojan,

I, too, cannot seem to transfer funds to my PayPal account, although I had done it successfully in the past. What do I do?

You might have to wait for a few hours. Happened to me and was resolved within 4 hours. If you don't get the funds within 24 hours, contact paypal.

Did anyone else just get an email saying payments are available early? I usually get these on friday mornings EST and it's currently Thursday night. But the weirdest part is I transferred to my PayPal account as usual and didn't receive the funds. Any thoughts?

Paypal payment method users, are you also experiencing issues with payment?

 

I've always received my funds real time through Paypal.

 

Today is different, though.

 

It's been 3 hrs since I withdrew, I still don't have the funds.

I requested my payment last April 9 which was yesterday but I have not received it yet in my Paypal account but my Upwork balance is already zero. As always, I was able to receive an email minutes after I withdrew my payment. Usually I would be able to receive the payment minutes after the request, but now it did not. Can someone help please? It's been 24 hrs already.
