Coinbase - charge?

[ransomer]

A guy said that he buy Bitcoin every monday for his cigarette money

That made me wonder what coinbase charges for selling for $5?

Is buying in so small lots really feasible?

It's a flat fee + variable fee. The flat fee alone is $0.30. IMO, it's best to buy in increments of at least $20 (that puts the fee at like 5% of the total), with more being better.

The charge is minimal but i'd suggest buying more than $5 increments if you can. The more transactions you have the more fees you'll have, and the fees don't increase 1:1 with size of transaction.

Hmm...i have recently exchanged Bitcoins for Dollars on Coinbase and i did not pay any flat fee, only variable fee of 1%.

Awesome news. They changed it. It used to be flat-fee + variable. Looks like they still charge flat-fee on small transactions, though, but aren't adding on the variable fee anymore so it's good:

"** For US Customers, orders less than $15 are charged a flat fee of $0.15"

Thanks for the heads-up!
