Coinbase reviews

This is a bad site for those who are new to cryptocurrency. The price for small amounts is very high and the fees are enormous. Stay away if you're new to the game.

Before signing up and actually transferring money to your account, it isn't possible to see what the USD-BTC rates are.

It is, however, cheaper to trade on the related site GDAX. But in Europe, this requires two identity documents (passport, id-card, driver's licence.) So, for those who don't have a driver's licence, it isn't possible to trade on GDAX.

Overall, Coinbase is reliable but there is room for improvement.
For example, instant buying through cards don't go throw 9/10 times so you have to use bank transfer which can take 1-3 days and by then the Coin prices have changed. Another downside is that they didn't actually pay out the "refer a friend" bonus. The referred friend got his bonus though so at least it's something...
For people who are just getting started, Coinbase is a trusted exchange and despite the limited Coins offered at least you get a good start without getting ripped off.

Coinbase is an exchange to buy and sell bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin. Now by all means don't go spend your life savings on something you are not sure about. But if you want to get in on the crypto craze and buy $50 or $100 bucks of cryptocurrency this is an easy app and website to get started. They are regulated and your security is very important. I would use again. Easy app also

Coinbase Charged multiple charges on 02-15-2018, totaling almost $3000. They would have took more if it was available.
I spent 3 hours on hold to talk to a $#*! that assured me it was the credit card company that did it not them, and that my funds would be returned in a day or 2. Well that didn't happen. On the 21st Coinbase sent me $700 which isn't close to what they stole out of my account. I sent 4 emails with zero response.
Done with it, filed fraud with my bank and still waiting for my money.
I will never use this $#*! company again.
Hello Gemini

I lost my phone and it has been over a month and I haven't had access. Their support is worthless. I would give them no stars if I could and that would be more then they deserve. They ask if my account has been hacked? How would I know, I cant' log in. These folks suck to a new level of suck-a-tude.

72 hour withdrawal delays on every transaction. Even after DL upload and bank accounts verified. Just no excuse for it. Their transaction fee's are close to Mob rules. You will lose 10% of all Bitcoins bought through Coinbase through transaction fee's. They just charged me 4% fee on a Bitcoin purchase and they will charge more to send it. They have had for three months running, "sorry we are overloaded" so expect delays and no customer for service. Three months in a row. They are a scam

Tried to withdraw my bitcoin. Then they asked for identification. Submitted my drivers licence, 24 hours later still nothing. Submitted my drivers licence and selfie photo again, they confirmed my identity but still no transaction. Wrote an entire paragraph to support explaining everything in great detail, they replied with "Reasons your transaction might be pending: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/593836. Thanks for contacting support." Thanks a lot coinbase, it has been a week now and still nothing. Great customer support. I hope your company goes bankrupt and everyone there end up on the street. Get your $#*! together and give me my money. Honestly, how hard can it be to send a single bitcoin.

After setting my limits to $7,500 USD, I deposited $5,000 USD to my Coinbase USD Wallet from my US-based bank account. This transaction was made at 11:32 PM (EST) on 2018, January, 8. Coinbase took the money from my bank account on 2018, January, 9 before 2:00 PM (EST). It is now 2018, January, 16 and still NO deposit showing. This is the 6th business day (Internationally; yesterday was MLK Jr. Day in the U.S.) and the 8th calendar day. Coinbase policy is deposits can take 2-5 business days to clear due to ACH blah blah blah - well, Coinbase had my money on the 2nd business day, yet did NOT deposit it in my USD Wallet TO THIS DAY!

On day four (2018-01-12), I called the phone number Coinbase listed with the bank transaction; that number NO LONGER WORKS. The new number *******930) is nothing more than a talking phone tree that does not allow for human interaction at all - at the beginning of the call AND at the end of each message down the tree, the voice directs you to go online to their support site. After going through the miserable "Chat Bot" on Coinbase's support website, I was finally able to send them an email from https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/emails/new ...

And Coinbase's response so far? CRICKETS!!! Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero response. Since I finally sprang for more than a couple dollars here and there deposit to invest in cryptocurrency, Coinbase really sucked me into their net bad. If not stolen, at least misappropriated and using my money as their "FLOAT" to increase their own corporate profits. At worst, Coinbase is a fraud, at best, a really messed up company. I'm feeling chaffed. And, I'm done with these bozos. IF this money ever does show up in my Coinbase USD Wallet, I'm just going to withdraw it and go to another service - or put it back into Amazon stock... what a CON JOB.

Epilogue: I have contacted my bank and at some point I will have to submit a fraud complaint, though I should give it to the end of this week considering the US holiday affect on banking. Even though Coinbase had my money 4 days before the holiday. Bleh.

SHARING MY EXPERIENCE TRADING BITCOINS USING FURCOINS (https://furcoins.com/)

Jan 8 furcoins received my payment to buy bitcoin amounting to USD 1022.09 thru western union
Jan 9 furcoins confirmed to send bitcoin to my wallet, waited for 6 hours, to my surprise furcoins send it to the wrong bitcoin address (very unlikely)

Furcoins confirmed bitcoins has been sent to my correct wallet, I am still waiting for bitcoin to be deposited in my wallet for 24 hours now.

Which is way beyond what furcoins guarantee to its customers of 45 minutes 6 hours waiting time to be deposited (see faqsection https://furcoins.com/faq/)

Ive been requesting several times already for a screen shot from furcoins system showing that furcoins already sent bitcoin in my wallet furcoins wont provide it

It should be similar to a customer sending screen shots confirming payment made thru western union or MoneyGram

Under its faq section (https://furcoins.com/faq/)

Why did I not receive the coins after paying? If your payment has been received and you do not get the bitcoins within 6 working hours after paying (maximum delay), contact the customer care support

24 hours passed, still no bitcoin deposited in my walletKeep coordinating with furcoins customer support, all I just get is hold just hold

How can I prove that a bitcoin transfer was made? By checking http://blockchain.info/address/youraddress you will be able to see the records of the coins that were sent to or from your address.

no transactions have been made on my address for 24 hours already (very very unlikely)

Cont. Update status
Jan. 10 furcoins claims technical problem associated with my wallet which made the bitcoins sent to bounced back and reassured bitcoin will be in my wallet in the next 3 hours.

After more than additional 6 hours waiting, furcoins claims that my wallet is deactivated and my wallet is unable to accept transfer of bitcoins

Ive been requesting several times already for a screen shot from furcoins system showing proof that furcoins indeed sent bitcoin in my wallet furcoins wont provide any at all

SUMMARY: still no bitcoin in my wallet (01/11/2018)

Should I be worried on such delays?

(01/12/2018 STATUS UPDATE)

after furcoins found out that i shared my experience in the web, below is their response.

let me know your thoughts about it

We wish to inform you that everything in respect of your newly provided bitcoins wallet has been noted and your bitcoins ready for transfer to your new wallet

However, it is with greatest dismay and shock that our Monitoring Team inform the Board about your write up on various platform on the internet deliberately calculated to slammed the image of this platform.

In view of that, an investigation has commenced to ascertain if you actually did before any step can be taken in respect of your Order

Accordingly, your hasty conduct has placed your Order on hold

While we enjoined you to desist from further unwarranted write up, we shall get back to you on the decision of the Board

MY RESPONSE

The reason I chose Furcoins from the beginning is the Positive reviews and customer satisfaction I read thru other platforms as well and in the review section of your website.

I was optimistic I could experienced also what others had CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

After being patient with Furcoins for over 24 hours waiting, it is a big consideration and gamble on my part.

What I shared in the internet is what I experienced using your platform. To my dismay, the review I send to your website was altered entirely.

Points to consider

1. Furcoins failed to deposit by using wrong Bitcoin Wallet Address from the start.
2. Furcoins failed to deliver within 45 minutes 6 hours (maximum delay) as stated in your website. (over 24 hours still no btc in my wallet, But I still believe Furcoins can deliver)
3. Furcoins failed to provide proof showing my wallet is deactivated and unable to accept bitcoins despite numerous request.
4. Furcoins customer care support does not reply as needed even its 24/7 as it claim.
5. Furcoins failed to provide real time update knowing our Time zone Difference
All of my concerns with you are supported with screen shots so it can be simplified for Furcoins to resolve. And it should be vice versa if you have any concerns especially with my BTC Wallet Address

To summarize: I made my payment in full to purchase bitcoin and Furcoins failed to deliver my bitcoin as scheduled. SIMPLE..

More than 24 hours delay to deliver is an unacceptable to any customer who believe in Furcoins that it can deliver as it claims.

I believe it is my right to have my payment be refunded as soon as possible. No need for the board to waste any more time.

PS: refund within 5 business days from day of request. (https://furcoins.com/terms-and-conditions/)
