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 Kaid,

 

Thank you for your message. Could you please contact Paypal support to check the status of your Paypal account and try initiating the fund withdrawal once the issue is resolved by Paypal support?

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,

Hello Upwork and all,

 

I've finished work for a client and wrote him his requested articles and materials. The client processed payment and I've been eager to receive my first payment to assist with some minor expenditure, however attemtping to transfer it through Paypal (my usual method of money to and fro' my bank) keeps resulting in failure to transfer with no reason other than a confirmation email followed by a notification that it was unable to be processed.

 

My Paypal is set and everything checks out, including my personal details regarding it which Upwork teams manually checked - in addition to be on my account for a month or two (more by now). I'm just curious why this is failing and if I can possibly get an sort of resolutions regarding this?

 

Hi Aaron,

May I know what the meaning of this? I tried to withdraw through my PayPal account. 

And I also can not make a transfer to payoneer, they deduct one dollar from me and cancel the transaction without describing the error.
