This factor is being seen negatively by UPW users because those paying 5% will also have to pay 10% with an additional fix fee + Percentages from buyers.
Ultimately buyers will tend to do less hiring. ( apparently things seems this way, there might be another deeper angle for this change )
Hi Klein.
1- Your money is still in escrow, you can open a dispute there.
2- You can open a ticket with CS.
3- If, by any chance, your freelancer's account has been suspended, you'll get a refund automatically.
I hope you get your funds back.
