I also can't access coinbase right now and according to message they have on their homepage, they are doing maintenance. I haven't checked them in last 2 days but when I checked now, it is under maintenance. https://status.coinbase.com/ page have all information regarding their current maintenance progress.

Coinbase mobile app is working fine for me.

I do get the error messages, but click through them and you can still accomplish anything needed - buying, selling, transactions.

I haven't tried from a PC.

Btw, their maintenance page is worthless. It doesn't actually provide status (or it didn't yesterday) it just mentioned what issues are going on, which if you're checking the maintenance page you're already aware of the issue.

EDIT: Access via the PC is also working fine.

Maybe they've completely fixed the issue.

Yes, it is accessible now and I think they have resolved the issue for now. There are some error statuses still displaying on the site through PC, hope it will be resolved soon.

Yes, Coinbase is back online and it bring relief to many as many people are storing their coins their including me. Whats make me more worried is that it is twice there site is down in space of 2 days which is a big of a shock for me. I hope now since its back online, its remain online and safe for all of us.

You might want to watch out with Coinbase because they’ve had a bunch of problems within the past few months. People complain that they didn’t get their money or something was frozen on their account so I am pretty sure that there is something going on with that website.

Plus Coinbase is doing business with the IRS so I am pretty sure that you would want to stay far from that type of thing or you may get taxed for your coins.

You are very right. I had to move all my coins from coinbase to another wallet. I can't bear a wallet giving me unnecessary high blood pressure as a result of their own incompetence. After all,  they aren't the only wallet out there.

The Coinbase website is showing maintenance now. :'(

Maintenance is just a normal thing most especially for a busy site like Coinbase. However, there seems to be some complaints against the site lately that can put some negative vibes on them. Their current spat with IRS must be having some effect on them as users are getting to be cautious.

Today - down for over 6 hours

It is not acceptable. A site like Coinbase, holding millions dollars from customers, funded with millions dollars, still can't even get a decent team to handle such things ?  Oh but wait, it's not the first time Coinbase goes offline at the exact same time something big is happening to the bitcoin price0 What about people who wanted to sell when the price was about 2800$. Now at 2400$ it is 400$ difference, and I doubt they plan to compensate the difference

Last update from CoinbaseSupport on Twitter is more than 24 hours ago ! How it's possible ? Twitter is in maintenance too ? With such problem you have to update your customers more than every 24 hours, specially in such activities where money is related

Everyday it was downed and unavailable with only few hours being up. My last used was exactly 12 hours ago. Just didn't know when was the exact time it was downed again.

Hopefully they are taking those time being downed to fixed those difficult holes they are into. With the current bitcoin price that is considered as high, really expect some downtime for almost of the exchange due to the high volume of users that using exchange at the same time. I believe they will not turned into fraud. Surely they are surprised with the volumes since the fuel of bitcoin's rocket fuels a bit.
