Marin,

Click the above Support link for assistance.

The "Support" option only gives whatever blogs and information there is out there but no direct option to submit a ticket to other support team? A bit appalling for one of the biggest platforms out there?

Hi Marin,

I'm sorry to learn about this experience. I see that you've contacted our support team via chat, and a support ticket has been raised with your account status concern. I can also confirm that your case has been handled accordingly, and your account's limitation has now been lifted.

Looks like you're all set! Let us know if you need further assistance.

How do I get someone who's not a bot to have a look at my account? I saw this notification banner starting Monday. It seems my card was declined. I've since updated both the primary and backup credit card, however the banner is still there and my contractors are unable to submit hours. 

I've attemped to go to the support page and "start a chat", but that bot takes me in circles, asking me to try the same thing over and over again ("add a new credit card and pay down your balance" -- which I've done multiple times now).

I cannot find a way to get a human in the loop so they can look at my account, because I've followed all directions and nothing has worked. Please help soon! I know this is the community board, but I'm hoping someone here can forward my plea to a support person. 

Thank you.

I cannot add a credit card to billing method on my account.  The screen spins then times out.  Tried Safari on Mac and Edge on Windows.

Hello.  I am a client and since last week have been having trouble with Upwork accepting my payment.  The card on file was denied due to unavailable funds but that has been retrified.  As instructed by Upwork support, I contacted my bank to remove the block from the card.  I've went in to update the card, also instructed by Upwork support, but Upwork is still blocking the card although my bank has released it.  I can't get any help from support as I've been trying to get this resolved all week.  I need to pay my caller and get us back to working our project.  Need help!

[ArjayM]

[dae7d525]

Thank you Arjay for responding. I did get an email Friday saying that support will be doing a manual withdrawal.  How long will that take to be completed?  I haven't been able to continue my project with my caller since last week.

Hello,

My name is Annie Anderson, and I'm reaching out regarding an issue I've encountered on Upwork. I am in need of hiring a freelancer urgently for a project, however, I'm encountering difficulties initiating the contract due to a card issue.

Every time I attempt to proceed with the "Fund Contract and Hire" action, a pop-up notification appears stating: "Sorry, we couldn't charge the billing method you selected. Please try a different one. If you still need help, contact customer support.

Given the urgency of the project I'm undertaking, I am eager to resolve this matter promptly. Could you please advise on the steps I should take to rectify this issue?

Best regards,

Annie

Slow: contact support to check whats wrong with your card.

What is $10 Markeplace fee? I didnt saw it before. New fee for clients added?

chatbot is useless

unable to create tickets, what sort of platform is this

[ArjayM]

Hi Daniel,

I looked closely, and It appears your bank is declining the transaction you're trying to process. Have you tried contacting your card-issuing bank for more information about these transactions? Additionally, please click on my name and send me a PM with screenshots of the charges you're referring to. We'll surely have that reviewed and assist you accordingly.

I used to use wise card to pay, but upwork fails to accept wise card payments.

And there is no way to solve this problem with chatbot, in addition, I couldn't submit a ticket.

Please reach out to me and help me to solve this problem.

Many thanks.

[ArjayM]

Hi Elson,

I'm sorry you're having difficulties setting up a contract with your cards as a billing method. Generally, this happens when the bank keeps declining transactions you're attempting on your card. Kindly contact your card-issuing bank to inquire about the specific charge decline. If the issue persists afterward, we'll be happy to assist.

For more details about these billing method options, you may visit this help article.

[6c435b06]

Thanks for your reply. I've tried to contact my card-issuing bank, but there is no issue.

Seems like there is platform issue, could you kindly help me to resolve this?

[2cfde9a0c21736a4]

I tried to fulfill a contract from a freelancer but kept receiving the following two error messages when trying to process payment:

• “Unfortunately your browser or extension are preventing us from updating payment information. Please try to change browser or disable all browser extensions”.
• "Payment disabled"

Disabling all browser extensions and using different browsers (Safari and Chrome) did not work. Chat Support was not helpful. Though it looks like the payment was unsuccessful and the contract status is not updating, my credit card has been charged multiple times.

Please create a support ticket and assign a support agent to follow up on this issue urgently.
