Sorry bro. I can relate. Had my account blocked recently too.. With close to $600 already pending in it. I was frustrated like mad. But I picked myself up, opened a new account and I'm doing even better now. You can do same bro. Best of luck to you and all freelancers on here!

Hi guys,
Please can anyone help me with a template of message to send to buyers (not potential buyers) to seek for jobs to get done?
Market's been tough lately and I tot it's high time I started soliciting for jobs from my buyers.

keishik:

What do you sell?

ajishomo:

I'm into graphic designs

keishik:

OK. The way you were talking of buying and selling I was somewhat expecting you'd say something like 'yam' so I'll direct you to the appropriate thread cos in this thread we usually only hear of services and clients.

This is not a big deal. The contract will be reinstated once the client's payment method is verified. You don't need to do anything from your end.

keishik:
I'm facing a very knotty issue here that I would really appreciate your opinions. I just had my contract suspended because the clients' means of payment is unverified. Thing is, I noticed she wasn't verified before starting the contract and pointed it out to her but since the Milestone was already funded, She expressed some confusion at the system (it's her first time) but promised to keep an eye on it. Since it was a pretty easy task that I'd successfully negotiated upwards, I was really keen to see it done so I proceeded only to be told by upwork to stop work as the contract had been suspended 4 days after!

I've reached her (we communicate primarily through email) and she's even more bemused and has sent me the details of her payment even though She admitted not being able to verify her method because the deductions didn't reflect in her CC. According to her, She has called her cc company but they can't help either. A red flag went up when She asked for samples of what I'd done in the midst of the brouhaha, but I weaved my way out of it and she apologised for asking.

Thing is, I've done a background search on this girl and everything checks out. Her naivety seems to be quite honest. I've verified She's a university student that she claimed and by the way, she's an American hottie I swear, like someone out of a Hollywood movie, you know the type that....

Anyway, I'm not considering circumvention, the risk is too great. I'm just wondering if I can encourage her to opt out of the contract and hire outside - she's almost crying to me at this point. Would my encouraging her to opt out be breaking the rules? Secondly, who knows the associated fees to be paid for opting out? Any long-term consequences for me, since I intend to inform upwork if it comes to that. Any knowledgeable advise would be welcome.

This is very simple, she might be having issues with here CC. However, I'll advice this, " don't ask her to pay you off upwork" those white folks can escalate issues, she might even be the one to report you, for asking her to pay for the service off the site. Be patient with her, it might take some time to resolve. I have not done the 'opt out' option before though.


Let me share an experience:

From my experience, I'd completed and sent a project of a verified client and the contract fund has been approved. A day after, I received an Upwork notification email telling me that the client had some issues with her CC. To cut the long story, my account was put on hold (for what I know nothing about), Upwork in their usual way asked to verify my identity which I did, well at the long run the project fee was removed from "Pending Status", so I wasn't paid. Since it was taking too long over the course of a month plus to rectify/reconcile the funds from the client's Acc/bank. I just wrote an email that I needed my Upwork profile up and running as only the financial side was put on hold since I'd verified my identity. So I had to forgo the money and move on.(So I did free work) is part of business I understand.

The lesson to be drawn here is, bid and stick to working on hourly projects; you'll never go wrong with hourly projects. It's on fixed price projects that you get payment issues like this. So as a business man I devised a way to increase my hourly rate. Well for big projects, I ask for 50% upfront payment and 50% milestone to release after work submission.
