Unable to add/use payment method

[hassanwaqar71]

Hi, Upwork can't accept my credit card for some reason, it keeps on declining it.

[acd0388b]

Hi. I tried to connect my paypal account to upwork but it says that it can not verify my account. I used the link provided to paypal but when I use it I get this message on paypal:  This article doesn't exist or has been unpublished.

I do not know what to do, please advise.

Thanks

Hi Annie,

Hope you could help me on this. Charged failed, not able to hire Freelance. Still, I was charged twice of the contract even though my contract is failed due to payment. Below you can see the money is literally withdrawn twice from my bank at the end even though the contract is failed.

Thanks

Brian

Hey guys, I don't understand this. Yesterday it worked, today it says "Sorry, we couldn't charge the billing method you selected. Please try a different one." Could you please help me?

[812dd08c]

Hi Islam,

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 payment was declined. In the meantime, please use an alternative billing method to be able to fund your projects on Upwork.

I need help with my billing method. I have an active card with sufficient balance to pay for my transactions but it always says "Charge Failed". I was supposed to hire someone. How can I fix this?

[pradeephele]

Hello Angeline,

Thank you for contacting us. I see that your transaction was declined due to the limit on your card. Please contact your bank or try again using another card.

Thank you.

Pradeep.

[94ec841c]

I already increased the limit of my bank account but still doesn't work. 

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Angeline,

I checked your account and I can see that you have withdrawn your funds 2 days ago. Please keep in mind that It can take up to four business days to arrive at your bank. If you have not received the funds after 8 business days let us know, and our team will initiate a trace on your transaction. Thank you!

[94ec841c]

Hi Goran,

I actually have two concerns, but yeah I can see that Upwork just processed my withdrawal as of this moment. My other concern that hasn't been resolved yet is that I cant use my card to hire a freelancer on my client account. It keeps saying Charged Failed. 

[7dee9e1b]

I have the same problem at the moment...

Hi Salim,

Thank you for reaching out to us. It looks like the charge on your credit card keeps getting declined. Please make sure your card is set up to make international payments and has sufficient funds on it to complete the funding.

Please contact your card-issuing bank to confirm if they allow recurring transactions on your debit cards as Upwork payments are classified as ‘recurring’.
