Title: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: phuong on May 09, 2014, 11:31:10 PM Lvl 2 user,except Visa credit card :-\
Absolutely no help from support,just talking the same. Is it normal for coinbase to do such tricks? ??? http://shutter.io/img/ehwkfp/raw Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: eatingtic on May 09, 2014, 11:56:04 PM So what was the actual response from support?
post what they said in the email. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: Dare on May 10, 2014, 12:01:38 AM I've never had anything like that happen to me. Do any of your transactions list the reason why they were canceled?

Don't have it anymore,but it was something like "We can't do anything with it.Try again later" Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: phuong on May 10, 2014, 12:10:26 AM I've never had anything like that happen to me. Do any of your transactions list the reason why they were canceled? Every transaction was cancelled due to high risk. They don't send bitcoins on high risk transactions.Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase?

They don't send bitcoins on high risk transactions.I heard a lot about that a few months ago, but they've improved their detection algorithm since then. You can try emailing support and ask to be whitelisted, but past that I'm not sure if there's anything you can do. I've never had that problem with them, so I didn't look too closely into the resolution of it back when it was more common. If you do a few searches for "coinbase high risk" you may be able to find something useful however. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase?

Didn't expect to see so many negative feedbacks :o I'm not alone with this. And who is Olaf? There was a message that he can help me.Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: lapah on May 10, 2014, 12:53:15 AM Go to their reddit page for coinbase, or email support to be whitelisted.
It seems like more are buying large amounts after that. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase?

There was a message that he can help me.A lot of people were getting hit with high-risk transaction failures a few months ago, hence the number of search results. /u/-Olaf- on Reddit is on Coinbase's support team, he was whitelisting people with issues back then but his account seems inactive now since he hasn't posted anything in about a month. Sending support an email requesting to be whitelisted is most likely the best (and fastest) option, though it may take a day or two depending on their response time.

Anyone got a link? about more details of this process? Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: phuong on May 10, 2014, 03:27:52 PM Made a ticket that contained a link to this thread and got this response:

Still hoping that someone from coinbase will help me :) Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: monim1 on May 10, 2014, 04:11:04 PM It seems unusual to me. Coinbase is the most popular place. I think you need to contact with support team again

Quote Alex replied: Hi there, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. It looks like your transaction was canceled due to appearing high risk, and if you were charged a refund has been sent to your bank account. All of our risk analysis is performed by our self-learning risk-detection algorithm. Coinbase is constantly under attack by scammers attempting to defraud us of Bitcoin, and as a result we've been forced to implement automated security measures in an effort to protect the community and our site. I know this must be frustrating to happen, but unfortunately we cannot yet guarantee the completion of every bitcoin order or the verification of every account due to the high risk nature of selling bitcoin online. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: goodhamh on May 10, 2014, 09:19:47 PM They dont explain how you can gain a bigger spending limit?
Thats some bull crap. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: phuong on May 10, 2014, 10:22:16 PM They dont explain how you can gain a bigger spending limit? Thats some bull crap. Don't know what else can i do to get it fixed :-\ Also created a topic at reddit as it was recommended a few posts earlier. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: dumbdragon on May 10, 2014, 11:58:39 PM Damn, I never really use coinbase cause of localbitcoins, but wow thats gotta suck.
How do they do business then?? What if you were super rich lol. Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: sana8410 on May 11, 2014, 12:40:34 AM hmmmm maybe they were trying to lose money due to prices dropping and going up, thats what they are known for.
Title: Re: Is it normal for coinbase? Post by: phuong on May 11, 2014, 10:45:11 AM Alex from coinbase doesn't respond to my questions anymore :-X They think that everything is normal,just a few transactions canceled,nothing more,so please be aware of this,don't give them your financial and other information. How can i delete my coinbase account and the info that they have on me?

All risk analysis of purchases is performed by our self-learning risk-detection algorithm. Sometimes a bank transfer can be canceled if it hasn't yet identified your account as a trusted payment source. This aspect of the site is beyond our direct control and has nothing to do with factors such as market price. Because of its fluid nature, it is fairly impossible to predict how it will react on any given day. Since we deal with Bitcoin (non-reversible transactions) being paid for by bank account transfers (potentially reversible transactions, even after the transfer is complete), Coinbase is constantly under attack by scammers attempting to defraud us of Bitcoin. As a result, we've been forced to implement these strict automated security measures. Please also note that Coinbase is not registered as an exchange or bank; we do NOT hold customer USD. All bank transfers are done via the ACH banking system, which takes 3-7 days to transfer money in either direction to/from your bank account. While a further review has indicated we are unable to activate your account's ability to make purchase and sale orders at this time, please note that you may still use your hosted wallet to send and receive BTC on the bitcoin network. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get back to me anytime on this matter and I'll be happy to help. -Rees D.

You won't be able to buy (or sell, apparently) bitcoins with them for an indeterminate period of time, if ever (at least with that bank account), but you can still use the hosted wallet normally. |
