Why wouldn't you put the exact amount would be my question? The invoice from Coinbase should clearly state a BTC amount that lasts for a certain period of time. This is because when sending BTC, you are sending a fiat amount that it set at for a certain time and exchange rate. 1 BTC does not equal 1 BTC over time, so this is why you are given a time limit to send the BTC. If you do not send it in time, you will need to request another invoice. There is no paying in euros when sending BTC, you are sending a set amount of BTC determined by the exchange rate at the time to be worth a certain number of Euros.
He could referring to the transaction fees involved, if any in addition to the base amount. Not sure though as I never used CB before.
