Unable to apply funds. Paypal.

Hello, as you see, i have problem with getting paid. Everytime i try to withdraw founds, i got this mail:

Hi Mirza,

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.

 

Can you please help me, 

 

Thank you!

 

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Andrey,


In general, PayPal is not servicing customers in Ukraine for commercial payouts or mass payouts. Users in this region can send peer-to-peer payments or transfer funds from their PayPal wallet to an eligible credit card or debit card, but no Upwork payouts as these are commercial. You can contact PayPal directly for questions on any funds you currently hold with PayPal and consider adding an alternative payment method.

Hi Oleksii,

 

Thank you for your message. Could you please contact Paypal support to check your Paypal account status? Once they have resolved any issues with your Paypal account, please try initiating your fund withdrawal again.

 

Thank you

I have the same problem as mirza , it is saying unable to apply funds. Could you please help me.

Hi Mohammed Ama,

 

You may need to add an alternative payment method to your PayPal wallet to add your PayPal account as a payment method on Upwork, as the transaction cannot be completed from our end. Once you've added an alternative payment method, please let us know if the issue continues.
 
To check which payment source failed on your PayPal account, follow these steps:
 
  • Log into your PayPal account and go to "Settings."
  • Go to the "Payments" tab and click "Manage automatic payments."
  • Click on the billing agreement associated with "Upwork Escrow Inc."
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and check what funding source is your backup.
  • Update the backup source to a valid payment method and re-attempt the payment.
If the transaction fails again, the next step is to contact PayPal directly. Specifically, you'll want to talk to a PayPal Tier 2 agent and ask why your transaction to Upwork was declined.

Hello, 

I am having the same problem. Were you able to solve this?

I had to message Paypal support. Apparently it doesn't do transitions in my country (Ukraine) so that was the problem. Not sure if that helps you.
