I hate Coinbase. So much.

I just wanna take a second to appreciate what a truly shitty company coinbase is. Seriously, fuck them. I hope they get fucking firebombed. Time and again I have been dicked over by them. After over a year and a half of using their service, they have decided to not allow me to purchase more than $100 worth of btc. Without giving me any reason.

My limit still says 5k, but when I try to buy more than a hundred dollars worth, I am stopped and told to enter more personal info at a separate page. Of course, that page doesn't work at all. And of course, contacting their support is entirely useless.

Fuck that useless chatbot. Fuck their non-existent support, not contacting me after over a week. Fuck them for always putting my bank account first so when I'm stoned I forget to change it, and fuck them for making me wait a week for my coins. It does not take 8 days to verify a transaction from a bank account. Fuck all their hidden fees and overpricing. I truly wish them the absolute worst.

Use LocalBitcoins, fuck paying CoinBase fees. Much cheaper & if you're able to use GDAX you can buy your coins for no fee at all. CoinBase should be your last resort, not your go-to.

chargeback your credit card for all coinbase fees

I feel you. I'm done with them after today, I spent $100 and after it was sent to blockchain, from blockchain to my market.. I had $77.

They ripped me off. Banned my account and denied me access to my btc I had in there. No reply after many attempts at contacting them. Glad it wasn't much, but yeah, fuck them.


[7 Points] Puffy_Ghost:

Amazed everyone here isn't using Monero and avoiding coinbase altogether.

Yea funny shit, I've been dealing w/ coinbase since beginning of times.

I got "banned for gambling/something else" way way back years ago. Mind you, they have my damn SSN in there somewhere so there was no going back.

I then moved to cex.io (after Circle was around for some short time, thriving for a bit) and I stayed with cex.io until I got a new bank and moved out of the state due to charges and past fuck ups in life.

Now, I am back with coinbase and have a $1000 limit after only living in a new state for three months and I just used someone elses identity for verification; because fuck coinbase.

But Cex.io usually doesn't allow US customers any more, they used to and now I am actually getting back w/ them via support, although I believe no one in the US can register an account there now days. (Apparently, at least some states cannot register)

I hate them so much too. They froze my account for 10months. And then 2 days before it was unfrozen, someone removed a SIGNIFICANT percent of my funds!! There was a transfer ledger of 9% of funds that were stolen. But no BTC Adress to where they were transfered or even HOW!! I AM the only one with access to my accoumnt! I've only gotten thru to support rep on the phone ONCE after an hour on hold! And when an actual HUMAN responds to my emails, they just stall and dont fuckin solve a thing!! its been almost a month since they emailed me last and their last email to me was " we forwarding this case to subject experts, they will respond in 4-6 DAYS"!!!!!! LMAO FUck them man!!! stole my fuckin assets on a clearnet website! i cant get any help at all from them!!!

Someone recommend me a top replacement site please!

[1 Points] co1nstar:

Yeah every time I open an account with Coinbase the automatically close is for no reason. I've had an account with them for over 2 years and they just closed it with no notice at all. Fuck Coinbase!
