Coinbase: Buy Bitcoin & Ether

For $10, enter "Cobasebonus" in Google before signing up. This is an official promotion for new users of Coinbase. I love everything about Coinbase and what it stands for.. However, you all are making it hard for me.. To compete against Robinhood, Cashapp, Tdameritrade, and soon to be Fidelity; please find a way to get rid of these fees to buy into the market.. Maybe keep the selling or converting fees.. But, we need more people in the market and the fees are not helping.. Please go public soon.. Merge with Square or buy them if possible.. Or, merge with Facebook as that would allow Basebook to be an industry leader in crypto and p2p transfers and transactions... Most important, I currently use yahoo finance to manage and see my average cost and gains or losses for all my different crypto investments.. I would love if Coinbase would incorporate my average cost per coin.. Also, add in my daily and total gains and losses.. I should not have to use a third party site to manage investments that I purchased on your site.. Lastly, please add custom alerts for all of the crypto’s offered on the platform... We only have the ability right now to set custom alerts for three assets and again I have to use a third party site for the others.. I would love for Coinbase to be my source for everything crypto...

When I first bought bitcoin through Coinbase it was put on a 12 day hold. The funds cleared from my bank account after 3 days, and I had to wait 9 more days before I could do anything with my currency. I contacted customer service, and the representative said he didn’t know why my funds were on a long hold, but made it out like it was because I had just created my account - a fraud prevention method. So I accepted that, and decided I wanted to buy more crypto today. I went on the support page and read through the guidelines again; it said I was able to transfer or withdraw once the funds had cleared from my account - so 3-5 days, possibly 7-10 if there is a weekend or holiday. Fair enough. So I bought some bitcoin, and now it says it’s on a 12 day hold! So apparently that’s the default on my account every time I want to buy any crypto. What?! No where was I told that my account would have some default holding period, on the website or by customer service. I know that it will again clear from my bank in the next 3-5 days, then I will just have to sit on it for a week or more for no good reason. To top it all off, I’ve been emailing customer service and it’s like I’m not even talking to a human. They just give these generic, scripted responses, whereby they reiterate the same guidelines I previously read, that are obviously false! There are plenty of services out there that are way less of a headache; save yourself time and stress and use a different wallet!

My experience with coinbase is not bad or good. It was just disappointing. I used my online banking to link my checking account instantly. I deposited money into coinbase and began trading. I actually made $13 profit off of $120 overnight before all the fees they charge. Thought all was good and decided to sell. The only problem with that was apparently i had $0 to withdrawal. Tapped the (i) to see why and it show my three deposits all showing that they will be available at different days. ($20 would be available in 4 days, $50 would be available in 7 days, than the other $50 would be available in 13 days). The money was taken from my bank account and showed as completed from my bank as well as coinbase. So why can I withdrawal until all these days pass? Well because they want you to lose it. If you do end up losing it the $20 they said would be available in 4 days is now lost because you made a bad trade. That means you now have to wait for the 7 days to withdrawal your money, and if you lose that you now have to wait the 13 days before your allowed to withdrawal whats left. With fees your balance will end up negative before you even start, so you’ll to make up for fees before you see a profit. Also don’t expect customer support to get back to your messages and don’t expect to call them when you have a question because there’s no customer service number. Use coinbase at your own risk. You have been warned.

All very fast and professional, right up until you try to cut your losses. Bought bitcoin with the intention of selling it a few days later for a (tiny) profit as more of an experiment than anything. I sent in my license photos, linked my bank account, and got everything verified. Bought a couple hundred in btc. A few days later the price has gone up a few hundred and I try to sell- to find my funds placed on a ‘24 day hold’ to ‘prevent fraud’. What?? If this is common practice, they certainly went out of their way not to mention it, and if it isn’t, I can’t think of any reason why they would have flagged me or my transaction as suspicious. I have now sat and watched the btc price plummet over $1,000 in the past few weeks. By the time I’m able to access my money I will have lost much of it. I understand that btc prices are famously erratic and I accept that I would have lost a little bit, but with every day I lose more and more of MY money which is being held from me. Incredibly disappointed with the lack of clarity in this matter. If it were not for this ridiculous, month-long freeze on my transaction, I would be very happy with this app. The layout is nice and the verification was fast and professional. However, any app that forces me out of MY money without forewarning is NOT a winner in my books.
