> How is the bank or Upwork the bad guy here when it is Robin who doesn't want to pay?
Upwork takes:
* 3% fee on each payment on the client side;
* 20% fee of first $500 earnings with the client;
* 10% fee of $500-$10k earnings with the client;
* 5% fee of earnings over $10k with the client.
So in this case Upwork took at least 8% of this $12.5k or 1000 USD but I think they took even more. If they don't take risks of fraudulent payments then why do they continue to take a cut in each time?
