I got a wallet from coinbase as I saw some where it was rated the best. I notice every time I buy some BTC there is a small transaction fee like $2. I also notice the price for BTC always seems to be $15 to $20 higher than what its actually trading at. The current price in coinbase may differ to what the btcs current price in other exchanges. That 2$ fee charged from your transaction is for the purchase not an incomming transaction fee. My questions are, is this typical of all wallets? No. Coinbase is an exchange wallet. It differs functionality to other clients like a desktop wallet, hardware wallet, paper wallet, web wallets. etc. Also I've never received BTC is there incoming fee's?
No. Fee is only charged upon sending a transaction. The sender always shoulder the fee and not the receiver. Thanks all thats a lot of good info, I'll be moving some BTC to my other wallet today. Just playing around with small amounts ( under $100) till i get use to it all. I'm sure in the comings months/years there will be new services to look at and try. Main thing was I wanted to be able to learn all I can and pass that along to friends and family in the future. great forum

Coinbase is basically a an exchange which also provides you with a wallet to trade your BTC.
I still use blockchain as my primary wallet because its fast, simple and has nice security features.

And I think the bst wallet for PC or computer is blockchain because for newbies its safe and quick while for experienced people its safe in fact very safe and also it has ability to provide private key so no possible scams also.

Coinbase is an Exchange, that also has a wallet. The wallet service they maintain is very different from most wallets. Most wallets are just programs to hold your privatekeys/addresses, not to trade or buy/sell. With Bitcoin, the only fee is the miner's fee for being placed within a block, and that is paid by the sender. I don't know about coinbase wallet as I only use blockchain for now. looks like coinbase is a good exchange that offer many services about trading and bitcoin.

I use blockchain it is a good wallet
Well its good that you use blockchain , but i suppose we were living in the dark, We didnt even know what block chain wallet is. Thanks for using your precious time , sharing this valuable information about that wallet. Well seeing your last posts i can see how good posts you make (Sarcasm). Now i guess you might know why it is a good wallet. Not just because its holds money in that , But its is much easier than other wallets to use. Moreover it is the most trusted wallet by far. Sending and receiving money is also done efficiently , making it the best wallet.

I do not use online wallets. I use a desktop software to dont pay extra for my payments. I would recommend the electrum wallet for this. You only pay standard fee values in the Electrum wallet.
