Dear readers,

Upwork.com is disturbingly defective. It has informed me for the 1st time 
after I had registered an account that it blocks functionalities because 
it wants to send a text message for verification to a “phone”. No employer 
ever gives me a telephone which can receive a text message.

Another fault of Upwork.com is that it misleadingly said in red writing 
that its Address-Line-1 field needs to be within a certain size range 
(when it already was) when actually it was malfunctioning because its 
Address-Line-2 field was correctly not empty. I overcame this bug by 
moving this Address-Line-2 field’s contents into this City field (thereby 
losing enough space for this full address).

A defect of Upwork is that it does not let me use it to contact a 
freelancer who uses it. Upwork forbids SWIFT-IBAN wire transfers for 
payments! “Stay safe

Only pay f re e lance rs through Upwork, e nsur ing Payme nt Prote ct 
ion.” said Upwork yesterday. Copying and pasting from Upwork does not 
work! I lost a lot of time on 11/05/2025 and 12/05/2025 because 
WWW.Upwork.com is a buggy website - as a bank confirmed on 12/05/2025 that 
I correctly entered Visa-debit-card details into this website.

I emailed a complaint to legalnotices at Upwork.com on
Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 02:07:04 +0200 (CEST)
- “Dear Sir/Madam of Upwork [. . .]

Upwork's buggy website said inter alia: "We are unable to authorize your 
card. Please add another billing method or contact your issuing bank."

[. . .]

I do not have time to waste and Upwork wasted a day, especially with a 
huge number of pages of terms and conditions. Upwork does not impress me.

Upwork so-called "Support" refuses to solve this bug. Solve it 
immediately. I do not have time to waste!”

: “Visa was added”.

Seventeen minutes after I invited a freelancer, Upwork wrongly showed:
"Posted 17 minutes ago [. . .]
[. . .]
Invites sent:
0
Unanswered invites:
0".

Upwork does not work with Google Chrome Version 49.0.2623.112 m..

Upwork does not work at all with Internet Explorer 9. It says:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
