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.

I have funds withdrawing problem: Unable to apply funds. Sending via Paypal

Can you help me please?

Thank you!

Did you set up a payment method while creating the Upwork Profile?

If not you can go to profile settings to add a method. 

On the menu on the left side choose option 'Get Paid'

On this page, you will find a title- 'Payment Methods'

Click the 'Add Method' button to proceed. On the next page, you can add your paypal email id. After saving a payment method, you must wait for their approval (usually 48 hours). 

After that you can start withdrawing funds from the Reports page. 

Click on 'Available' option. You will see the 'Get Paid Now' button. click on it to withdraw the available funds in your account.
