Can a Client Request a Refund on UpWork?

If you’re not happy with the work you’ve received from a freelancer on UpWork, you may be wondering if you can request a refund. The answer is yes, but there are some conditions that must be met in order for your refund to be processed.

First, you must have paid for the work using UpWork’s payment system. If you paid the freelancer outside of UpWork, then you are not eligible for a refund.

Second, you must raise a dispute within 14 days of paying for the work. If it has been longer than 14 days, you will not be able to request a refund.

PRO TIP: If a client requests a refund from Upwork, it is up to the freelancer to decide whether or not to give the refund. If the freelancer does not give the refund, the client may file a dispute.

To request a refund, simply go to the dispute resolution center and follow the instructions. You’ll need to provide some information about why you’re requesting a refund and upload any relevant files or screenshots. Once your dispute is submitted, UpWork will review it and decide whether or not to issue a refund.

If your dispute is successful and a refund is issued, the money will be returned to your account balance. You can then use that money to pay for future work on UpWork or withdraw it to your bank account.

Conclusion:
Yes, clients can request refunds from UpWork if they meet the necessary conditions. Refunds are generally processed within 14 days of being requested.
