You shouldn’t use Venmo for certain transactions due to the following reasons:

Limited Purchase Protection: Venmo offers little protection for buyers, making it risky for purchases from strangers.

Privacy Concerns: Transactions are public by default, potentially compromising your privacy.

Security Risks: Although Venmo uses encryption, account hacks can still happen, especially if you have weak passwords.

Unauthorized Business Use: Venmo is designed for personal use; using it for business without proper authorization may violate its terms.

Potential Fees: Fees can apply for instant transfers or credit card payments, increasing costs.

Pending Transactions: Pending or incomplete transactions may temporarily reduce your available credit.
Account Issues: Your account may be under review or temporarily restricted by Venmo.
To resolve this, check your linked account balance, review Venmo limits, clear pending transactions, and contact Venmo support if needed.
