Coinbase Issues - Stealing Your Bitcoins???

[JustOne]

I'm basically just blowing off steam, here. Figured some others may want to join.

4 hours ago I was trying to complete a 1.5 BTC transaction with another party from my Coinbase app which has built in wallets. Oddly, I got an error message saying error, it could not be sent. So I tried again. No luck so I scrounged up 1.5 BTC I luckily stored on another mobile wallet (risky stuff, I know). Well, 3 hours later I open Coinbase and see two 1.5 pending transactions had just started, destined for the same address from earlier. I'm hoping the other party is honest enough to return it. Hmmm.

I get worried when basic software makes such huge mistakes like this and inothers in Coinbase's app.

Nasty. I suppose actual functional ineptitude can be added to their long-documented selective scamming practices.

Learn to WoT, stop subjecting yourself to this nonsense (and supporting their continuation in the meanwhile, y'know?).

Thanks, I'll look into WoT. I'm currently working on a local face-to-face network, and a bit of hope here, my contact returned my message and said he would return them the next day. I'll believe it when I see it.

But, back to Coinbase. Obviously the pending transactions did get confirmed. Noo! I have had no response from them in almost 24 hours, but I expect them to take a day or two from past experience.

For the record, as of 12/17 7:30PM PST, the full 3.0 BTC were returned by the other party (that was awhile ago) and no response from Coinbase. Beware Coinbase's wallet client.

I was shorted on an order Dec 6th and sent an email. My account balance reflects the coin is there so they must have fixed/filled the missing coin but I never received a reply to the email.
