Venmo's "policy" of holding funds paid to a seller for 21 days shows NO REGARD for for the seller. Venmo does state that your money "could " be released SOONER, but there's NO explanation as to what that criteria actually is. The person I spoke to regarding this said that funds are typically NEVER released sooner than 21 days Imagine depositing money in an actual bank, and being told "we're going to hold it for almost a month before we release it to you. Idiotic. I wont use venmo again.
