I sold something on FB marketing for $65. They wanted to pay from a Venmo business account and send their son to pick the item up. Venmo emailed me saying they wouldn't accept the money into my account because I don't have a business account. Really?
So according to an email from Venmo, the procedure to receive this payment is the buyer sends $565 to Venmo, and it is put on hold. I send the buyer $500. The money is supposedly released to both of us and I end up with my $65. Huh?
I spoke to a human at Venmo who spoke English, I think, but mumbled so badly I could barely understand him. Not the kind of person you need for a customer service representative. As far as I could tell, he confirmed the email.
Bull$hit.
Venmo is an Apple company, so this should be legitimate. But even if it's legit, I can see no reason for me to put up $500 just to accept a $65 payment.
End of rant...
But, lucky you, the antique seeding machine is still available! Hurry, it won't last long.
