Title: Sent tron to Coinbase ether wallet
Post by: GXW on January 05, 2018, 03:31:53 PM
I have stupidly sent some of my trx from Binance to my eth wallet on Coinbase.  All completed on the
Binance side but nothing in Coinbase.  Does anyone know what happens here?  Will it just be returned?

Thanks all!

Create a support ticket, but maybe someone here can explain the process with Coinbase as I am sure you are not the first person to have done this.
TRX is a ERC20 token, so it won't be lost, but that is based on either Coinbase sending it back to you as they have the Private Keys to the accounts.

You may have lost then.

A few weeks ago, someone sent ERC20 tokens to his Coinbase eth address and according to him, Coinbase refused to help and said that "the specific private keys associated with an address are not physically available to any single person". Also, some people who sent BTC to his BCH address ended up getting the same answer.

Try contact coinbase support, be more careful next time as all Exchanges always mention to not send ERC20 token unless its for the specific cryptos

Thanks, yep sent a mail to Coinbase earlier and they are saying it will be days before they get back to me as they are busy.  Wondered if anyone here knew and appreciate you confirming what I think will be the case.  :(

hello dear, you can use coibase just direct ETH send/receive, but you can't use ERC20 or others any Token you can use myetherwallet, myetherwallet is aviable all Ethereum Token & ETH facility.

With the crypt space growing over the next several years, I suspect people accidentally sending the wrong coins/tokens to the wrong addresses. This is already common, but it will increase to higher levels.

GL w/Coinbase, I know they are overloaded as I've seen various messages stating that there is verification delays and transfer delays due to backlogs.

Hope you get a transaction reversal.  Get a MyEtherWallet account and connect it to a Trezor or Ledger hardware wallet.

Let us know what happens. I am really interested to hear how Coinbase support handles this issue. Hopefully they don't take your money

Let us know what happens. I know technically they can fix it. I'm just curious if they do.
