Hi

I have the same problem

Upwork keeps returning my withdrawals, I'm using a PayPal linked with a virtual MasterCard (That might be the problem? I don't know)
The message I have got: Your payment of $4.00 via PayPal account failed, and the money has been credited back to your Upwork account.

 

Please any help?

Thank you

"Dear Toqa the transfer was denied because the option receive/withdraw funds was not activated on your account." this is what the PayPal support team sent to me, but I can't understand what exactly the problem is. 

Did this work for you?

There are some jobs that are scams. that ask you to complete a task and ask you for money to make the payment. I can't contact the client because I deleted the chat room, but I have the work information. What annoys me is that I waste my time and spend you connect with that job. that I could have used it for a different one. I have telegram contact **Edited for Community Guidelines**, company calls itself wiri language, by **Edited for Community Guidelines** on upwork,

Hi Maria Alejandra,

 

Thank you for reaching out and reporting this. I would like to let you know that sharing contact information before a contract has started is against Upwork's Terms of Service and that all communications prior to the contract starting must take place on Upwork. Also, a real client will never ask you to give them money to start working, cash a check for them, work for free, or provide your personal information. 

 

I can see that you've already reached out to the relevant team and raised a ticket about your report. Please continue coordinating with the team and provide the necessary details so that they can take action accordingly and more efficiently. We also encourage you to let us know if you find anything suspicious has happened by using the Flag as Inappropriate option throughout the platform. You can learn more about user reporting here

Hello, I transferred my money to PayPal account and they solve the problem and activate it, but I can't receive my money yet. I have already contacted with PayPal support and they told me to ask upwork to transfer the funds again.
I need from upwork to transfer the funds again or get it back to me please.

Hi Toqa,

 

I already followed up with the team handling your case and you can expect an update on your support ticket very soon.

 

Thank you.

Hey Everyone,

Hello Pradeep,
It has been indeed more than 24 hours, almost 48 hours and I have contacted paypal and there isn’t any issues!!! The transfer is not even evident there ! So i undo the withdrawal and get my balance back to where it was because from what i’ve been reading, is that normally the money is transferred instantly. And after contacting paypal, the problem seems to be with upwork mot paypal!!!

Hello Nikola,
Thank you for your reply.
It’s been more than 40 hours. And no one from upwork support has contacted me before 5 minutes ago telling me that I have to wait another 24-48 hours. Why do I have to wait 4 days for my funds to be transferred when it should take minutes or even less? This is really frustrating and being my first payment through upwork this is in no way optimal or reassuring.
I need someone to help me faster than that.

Thank you
Best regards,
Amina

Hi, my payment method doesn't seem to work.
I have a working paypal account but everytime I try to withdraw my balance my payment method gets disabled and the transaction is refunded.
I really need help with this issue as Paypal is the only method available to me at the time.
Thanks!

There is no processing transactions. I tried 3 times with PayPal and it was rejected. I used payoneer last time (successfully), but want to solve PayPal issue and use it next time. So, it`s still opened question. Thanks.

 

Hi Kyrylo,

 

Did you try contacting PayPal to check the status of your account? You can try again after the issue with your PayPal account is resolved.

First of all thank you for replying, i will wait 24 hours then contact paypal.

 

Hello,

 

I tried to withdraw my earnings to paypal, and I got my paypal payment method disabled and the funds are returned. I re-enabled it and tried again, but I keep facing the same issue. 

Hi Yasmine,

 

I'm sorry you're having difficulties getting paid through your PayPal account. I've escalated your community post to a support ticket for further review. One of our agents will contact you soon on this page to assist.
 
In the meantime, you may consider adding an alternative withdrawal option, such as ACH or Wire Transfer, to your Upwork account settings. This will give you another way to access your funds while resolving the issue with PayPal.

I have withdrawn money to my linked paypal account. The paypal account didn't receive the withdrawn money and I cannot find the money on my upwork account ? I have contacted the paypal people but they said they returned the money to my upwork account which didn't happen. And I am unable to contact upwork support for a week now !

 

If anyone can help me, would be highly appreciated.

PayPal can't return the money to your Upwork account as it was not your Upwork account that sent it, it was Upwork's PayPal account that did.

 

So Upwork's finance department will have to manually fish it out.

 

It can take a while to sort it out and it's the weekend.

Be patient!

Hi Ahmed,

 

I'm sorry to hear you have not received the funds yet. We'll have one of our agents reach out to you via a support ticket to further assist you.


Thank you.
