Issue: Money was not available when promised

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I purchased litecoin using the coinbase website. Since I wanted the funds available immediately I used a credit card and paid a higher fee. I was using the money to invest in TRX, but when I tried to transfer the funds coinbase put a hold on my money. This is after 2 factor authentication to login, credit card authentication, bank account authentication, and identity authentication. Additionally, I have used this site before to do this exact transaction without issues so I had no reason to think they would hold my funds when they website clearly states they will be available immediately.

Consumer Complaint: I sent XXXX gbp to an online currency company called coinbase on the XXXX XXXX 2017. A few weeks later I still hadnt received the money in my online currency wallet so I emailed the company. They replied to say that they didnt accept GBP anymore, even though the option to trade on GBP is still on their app and website. This isnt a problem and I asked for my money to be sent back. They asked me to send a small payment of 6 with a SEPA payment to verify my bank account so they could return my money. The account was verified but I still havent had any correspondence about where my money is and when I can expect to get it back. Ive emailed their support team every day but they do not respond

Issue: Other transaction problem

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have a Coinbase.com account where I have a XXXX bitcoin stored ( worth around {$13000.00} at the time I am writing this ) My account has been locked on XX/XX/XXXX when I tried to log in from XXXX. I was only on a visit that time, and I did n't know this would happen. It is mentioned in their article that '' your access will be restored once you log in from any non-prohibited region ''. I have done that but unfortunately, my access never restored. I have sent them several emails to Coinbase Support since XX/XX/XXXX to resolve the matter but they replied only once saying that they investigated the issue and working with a specialist to address it properly. And I have heard nothing since then, despite repeated follow-up attempts by me ( email correspondents attached ) Case # XXXX. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX resident for many years now, working in a US based company as XXXX XXXX. I traveled to XXXX for a visit as it 's my origin country, though I am not related to any XXXX group and I am not using this funds in favor of any XXXX activities. Even -if I 'm not mistaken- that the US economic sanction has been lifted from XXXX. I attached copies of my XXXX Resident ID card, Driving License and XXXX XXXX as a proof.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Account set up with Coinbase - money taken very swiftly from a debit card. As soon as I wanted to cash out and close my account I have had to authenticate my account using a SEPA transfer of XXXX Euros. However even though they have sent an automated email to say they have received my deposit it is still not allowing me to withdraw funds and keep wanting me to authenticate my account. In total I have XXXX sitting in account which looks like I might not get back. Thank heaven I did not put more in It seems that there is no response for emails, no telephone number and no way of contacting these people.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, a transfer of XXXX euros was sent from my bank account in the XXXX, to a bank account owned by Coinbase. It was a SEPA transfer. Coinbase provided the XXXX, Reference Number and XXXX/XXXX code in order to transfer money into my account with them. This transfer was expected to complete within 1-3 business days. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and the money has still not appeared in my coinbase account. On XX/XX/XXXX I raised a support ticket with Coinbase. They are reporting that they are overwhelmed with requests at the moment, but state they are prioritising cases where money is missing. I got an automated response saying it may take several days to get a response. I has now been a week and I have had no response from them. I am now seeing an alert in the Coinbase website stating that they do not accept transfers from XXXX XXXX. My transfer was from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Perhaps this is what they mean, but never the less, its too late to report that when it is not mentioned in their guide to making payments here https : //support.coinbase.com/XXXX

Consumer Complaint: The XX/XX/XXXX I initiated a SEPA transfer of XXXX euro to my XXXX bank account. The same evening the transfer was marked as completed and I got a e-mail that I would see the money on my account the XX/XX/XXXX. Until this day I have not seen my money and all attempts to contact CoinBase has failed. It seems that I 'm not the only one who have n't received the money from the XX/XX/XXXX. And it 's unacceptable to not give your clients any information whatsoever.

Consumer Complaint: I have sold crypto-currencies on XXXX ( trading arm of CoinBase ) and I currently have about 1,000,000 EUR of fund. Unfortunately, it is only allowed to withdraw XXXX EUR a day. The company has a process for increasing this amount and promise to come back to his customer within 10 days. However, after a month, I still do not have any answer. I tried to contact them via their online ticket service but I received no answer. I tried calling them as well. I got connected to a representative who acknowledged the amount of fund on the account but then put me on hold and hung on me. I tried calling again but I never managed to get any representative again. At this point, they are holding my fund without my consent.

Consumer Complaint: My bank confirmed that CoinBase withdrew funds from my bank account via wire transaction. The deposit has not shown up on my account and is 3 week late from the stated deposit date and 4 weeks late from transaction date. CoinBase has told me multiple times that a wire transaction may take 3-10 days to process but a month is too long and worrying. My bank also stated it was a transaction and not a transfer - Trans. Description : XXXX. My CoinBase Reference code : XXXX for the transaction. Date : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX PST Amount XXXX ETH @ {$460.00} per ETH. Fee {$7.00} Subtotal {$490.00} Total {$500.00}. I sent in 3 emails, support requests and feedback but have not received anything but automated responses for the last 2 weeks. I have also called and have not been able to resolve the problem through their customer support.
