Coinbase US order charged international fees on debit card!! ::::WATCH OUT::::

[mtx_demon]

  Hello everyone

So a couple weeks ago I purchased some bitcoin using COINBASE. I decided to use my debit card, so I would be able to access my funds directly.
Always Coinbase says it's a US based company. Perhaps the cards are not been process here. I was charge almost 40$ from Bank of America for international fee from using my debit card outside of the USA.
I was so surprise when I see this charge. So contacted coinbase to receive after two weeks a answer that it's my fault to been use a card that charges international fee. I don't know all my debit cards will charge this fee. only my credit cards will not.
Anyways I was expecting my card to be process here in USA. and they process in UK.

Just an alert for somebody that lives in US and try to use debit card to buy coins.

Someone could refer a better place in US to buy coins?

Are you sure about it?
They only charge a fee of 4% in my experience.
It's a lot but it's the only instant way to buy BTC...

They charge me the same fee if $15 whenever I use my credit card debt. I dunt think it's coinbase though, I think it's your bank charging you for using your card to buy digital cash...

If you're in the u.s. it's much cheaper to do a bank transfer (but very slow...)

YEAH BUT THE FEES WHO CHARGED WAS MY BANK

BECAUSE THE TRANSACTION FROM COINBASE WAS NOT MADE IN US . THEY ARE MAKING IN UK

SO FOR THE BANK IT'S INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION IN CASH SO THEY CHARGE ME A LOT LIKE I WAS DOING AN ATM WITHDRAW

I WILL NEVER USE DEBIT CARD ANYMORE ON COINBASE
