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!

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.

I am receiving the same response when I try to withdraw to Paypal. What is the actual reason that it refuses, we have a thread from 2020 for the same issue and they all require someone to help, Is there no easier solution?

I finally verified my account, but now I can't withdraw my funds. I linked a paypal account and tried to get paid (3 times) but it always tells me "Your payment on xx-Aug-2022 could not be processed"

Hi

I have the same problem and I noticed that my financial name is still Kareem Osama not Karim Fayed, could it be the reason?

Thanks in advance

Hi Karim,

 

Thank you for your message. If you are referring to the returned Paypal withdrawal, this is mainly due to an issue with your Paypal account. Please contact your Paypal support to check the status of your Paypal account and try again once the issue is resolved.

 

Thank you,
