Title: Coinbase Issue
Post by: shwackd on June 26, 2014, 01:32:34 AM
Coinbase is ok again.  I had an issue with them cancelling my order but they got back to me very quickly and are looking through my account to fix the issue and make sure it doesn't happen again. That is pretty decent. I am satisfied with Coinbase.

Coinbase is a giant scam. I have bought and sold to them succesfully many times, but just today I tried to buy .5 BTC and they automatically cancelled the transaction... I then got a nice e-mail saying how they'd refund me the money in 3 or 4 business days.... WTF .... they can take my  money before cancelling the transaction??? That is criminal.. Do not do business with Coinbase or this may happen to you too.

Of course they are.  All they have to do is rip off a small handful of the 700,000 customers they have to make a gigantic profit.

I must be a lucky one lol Ive never had any problems with coinbase. Been using them for 1 year both buying and selling.

I have also used them for about a year now (before the huge price rise in nov/dec) and I had problems with them in the beginning. Then I contacted them and I have no problems ever since. Nothing ever gets cancelled due to "high risk" and transactions to and from the wallet go fast.

I've used Coinbase for about a year now, and I've never had any issues with them either (aside from slow/unresponsive support, but that only happened once quite a while ago and they've since hired more people).

Coinbase doesn't rip off most of its customers.  But when they do rip you off, you get hurt BADLY.

Exactly. It seems that they currently practice this as a form of art.
