Title: Coinbase taking forever to show purchased Bitcoins
Post by: MrZambonie on November 18, 2013, 02:08:22 PM
Anyone else having an issue with Coinbase taking forever to show purchased Bitcoins? The first time I purchased a few it took 4 days, this last time I purchased on 11-9 and still have not seen my Bitcoins.

For the first 30 days, they wait 5 days before they give you the bitcoins. I think you also have to go through additional verifications steps before they give the bitcoins instantly.

When you are logged into Coinbase, on your /transactions page, if you click on the 'You purchased bitcoins' line item there, it will tell you when your BTC will arrive.

My experience was in the first 30 days it took a while to get those coins.  It seemed like it was a week.  I am now level II verified and they show up instantly as "pending."  It might take as long as 20 minutes  to show "completed" at which time I can transfer them out of Coinbase if I wish.
