Anyone else having issues with coinbase?

Recently Coinbase has started to be a bit of a bitch, which really kind of sucks because gemeni isnt working in my area and paxful is just a scam. Local bitcoins doesnt work for me because I cant find any way my payment method would work. I have tried contacting coinbase about this issue multiple times yet they have not helped me. If anyone is willing to sell me bitcoins directly or know of any alternatives please let me know. Thanks.

Wtf, you in no way described your issue with coinbase. How the fuck are we supposed to help?

It helps to send an email to support+reddit@coinbase.com to get their attention. This helped me to solve a nasty problem and seems to work for people on /r/bitcoin all the time. Be polite and describe your problem well and they will try to help.

As for alternatives, try Glidera. Worked for me after all the verification bullshit. (edited to add that their limits are LOW at first - I can only buy $50 per month. And keep checking Gemini, my area just got added.)

The main issue I've run into using Coinbase is the fact that the transaction is labeled as international. For most banks, mine included, international purchases bring high fraud risks. Even when I explained to my bank that Coinbase is "reliable" in the sense that they won't process a charge I don't authorize or make, they still said it was "too risk" to remove the international purchase restrictions for longer than 24 hours.

Every time I want BTC, I have to call my bank and ask for them to remove the restriction for 24 hours. I can ask to remove it longer, but I won't be protected from fraud from Coinbase if on the unlikely chance that it happens.
