Hello fam, been a while I made a post on this thread but I'd like to know your thoughts on something strange happening with my Upwork withdrawal. I initiated a Direct Debit withdrawal from my Upwork account a couple of days ago and sure enough, I received a Naira debit alert in my bank account within 15 minutes and went about my normal business. A few hours later, I received a notification from Upwork that the transaction had failed and the funds (Dollars) had been returned to my Upwork account less the $1 transaction fee. I logged into my transaction page and my account had truly been refunded. Funny thing was that the initial credit to my Bank account stayed untouched so in essence, I'd been credited locally and same funds have been returned to my account.
I contacted Upwork CC explaining what had happened and got a perfunctory response about it being a system error and that I should re-initiate another withdrawal for it to go through. I followed up with a more detailed explanation of what had happened and hours later I got a hands-in-the-air response about them being helpless in a situation the system tells them there's been an error. Apparently in situations like that, all they're obligated to do is to return the funds ($) to the original source which they've done. So here I am stuck with money that I shouldn't have and I'm not sure how to go about it. Anyone faced anything similar? Victor101, stagger, Kaycodes, anyone faced anything similar? Any advice?
a not so similar situation had happened to me. After I'd withdrew the client requested a refund back and Upwork had to make a debit order, so as soon as I finish any work on the platform they (Upwork) deduct the money and refund the client.

My Advice: Leave the money there(on Upwork) for a while. I like the fact that you've already contacted Upwork support. Just leave the fund, say the next two-weeks to see how it goes. One thing I'm certain is if you withdraw the excess, Upwork will still get the fund back, if there's actually a system error that resulted in cash loss from their end.

OP , @Victor(101) or anyone else here reading this, I have just stumbled upon this thread, been hearing freelancing for long now, it has always been confusing to me, I need a head start. As I left school last year and mobilized for service this july but name didn't appear, I cant continue staying idle and sad, I am interested in this freelancing so I can help myself and others around me, its frustrating and uundignifying when you cant help out with small cash to solve your personal problem and that of others. I only have an android phone no laptop, please I really want to learn and change my status quo.
I understand this phase of life. I'm just writing to inspire you and to say, Jesus is aware and you'll sure have a head way. IJN Amen. If you have open a profile on Upwork, send me a message, I can offer some time to mentor you for a while, but you'll sure need a Laptop, android phone would not be much efficient Shalom!

Hi Victor. Thank you for your contributions to this thread over the years. I just got my first (hourly) contract on Upwork. I am pretty excited and don't want to botch the job.
I don't really get how the hourly contract works. The client specified a 5 hours per week limit. Do I start tracking every time I carry out research on the article? What if I am a slow writer, wouldn't that lead to more hours being billed to the client? Or is there supposed to be a specific number of hours to be dedicated to writing an article? What are the cons and pros of working on an hourly contract?
Please, I welcome other insightful comments from anyone that could also be of help.
@chrome001 Congrats and I understand the excitement.. smiley

You said:

1."Do I start tracking every time I carry out research on the article?" Yes.

2. "What if I am a slow writer, wouldn't that lead to more hours being billed to the client?" You can discuss with the client to extend the time limit, ask if you can add manual time (Time not tracked) or basically give a round figure that you would like to bill for the job.( For hourly job some times I do tell my client that I would likely bill $200-250 so he knows beforehand.) This would allow him extend the weekly limit or approve the additional manual time fee accrued for that week. So for this question it all boils down to communication! of course every time you expend on the job must be billed for. You are even suppose to bill for extended interviews/samples etc, but that's for another level.

3. "Or is there supposed to be a specific number of hours to be dedicated to writing an article?" There isn't any specific number of hours to be dedicated to writing an article. You're the master of your craft, and you're on Upwork to make money. So make your money( Na you get the Knife and Yam).

4. "What are the cons and pros of working on an hourly contract?" Hourly contract is the best form of contract on Upwork, because it has Upwork protection, in that, hours properly billed on the team App is hour paid for by the client. Manual time isn't paid for except you communicate with the client and he/she approves the added manual time. In short, I advise not to add manual time on hourly jobs, track all the time on the job through Upwork team app, that way, your fund is guaranteed. Note: Recently Upwork do clamp down of contracts where manual time was added and the client didn't approve off, so you must communicate with your client and make sure he/she understand and give the go ahead before adding manual time over the weekly limit. Best still, request that the client make a bonus payment to you instead.


I may have answered your questions. Well, If I'd not kindly revert. Cheers

Inherent risk on withdrawals, and eminent ban.

From Upwork, withdraw your earnings to Payoneer, then sell to exchangers from your Payoneer account.
