Hi Hassan
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, you can contact support by:

I try to send an offer and deposit funds for escrow, but each time there is a message saying "something went wrong on our side, please contact our customer support." Customer support says 24-72 hours to process my request, how to resolve this issue? It's been 2 days since I try to hire a freelancer with no luck.

This is listed as a "resolved" known issue.... it is not resolved. I need to receive the work that my freelancer has completed by the end of the month or it's void and useless. I have been trying to pay her for almost 3 days and still get the error "failed to send bonus". Have you been hacked?

When i try and hire someone using my paypal it gives me following error.
"Sorry, something went wrong on our end. Please refresh the page and try again. If this issue keeps happening, contact customer support."
In my paypal i can see i deposited money but it gets instantly refunded and the message that comes with the refund is that the payment is rejected. I have deposited money on similar platforms like freelancer.com from the same paypal account and it works. I don't know why it won't work here.

I don't understand why you constantly put the blame on the bank. Consider your own shortcomings. Take action toward a solution. More than a hundred others have reported the same problem, and all you're doing is placing the blame on the banks. And they claim that even after doing everything the bank suggests, it will still not work on your system. A major problem exists. Fix it instead than placing blame on financial institutions.

Dear Upwork Support,
I had created a new paypal profile and tried adding it as a payment method, but it failed because my bank account had not yet been verified by paypal. But now my bank account has been verified has been verified by paypal, and I've been able to add the account to my payment methods in upwork, yet when I try to pay with it, it doesn't even go to paypal and it tells me "Recent Charge Failed".
I am sure the paypal account works and is verified now, but because I recently tried using it on upwork before it was verified, now I can't use it after it has been verified. What can I do now?

Hi Innocent,
I checked your account and can confirm that the charge was declined on our end. Please check with your bank for more information on why the charge was declined. In the meantime, please use an alternative billing method to be able to fund your projects on Upwork.
