Consumer Complaint: I have an account with CoinBase through which I own one bitcoin. I purchased the bitcoin several years ago for {$370.00}. I have kept the bitcoin in my vault ever since. I 've been trying for several months now to move my bitcoin from my vault to my wallet so I might be able to sell it. To move bitcoin from your vault to your wallet you must verify the transfer from two separate email addresses. The transfer verification is n't working for my second email address. I have emailed the support team about this several times - on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX andXX/XX/XXXX. I have received one response that was essentially useless and the Company appears to have done nothing to resolve my issue so that I might liquidate my bitcoin. If I were able to sell my bitcoin today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I would sell XXXX of it.

Consumer Complaint: COINBASE COMPANY based in XXXX XXXX sells cryptocurrencies, It will allow you to buy currencies such as LiteCoin, Bitcoin and Ether but will lock your account when it is time for you to withdraw your funds. I have tried to validate my identity to COINBASE and successfully uploaded my driver 's license with the CORRECT INFORMATION INCLUDING the address but it insists that it can not validate it after I have accurately answered all the verification questions. They are holding my funds. This company should have completely validated the users first prior to allowing them buy crypto currencies so that there no funds withheld if can not be validated. This is a pure deception and fraud where they allow you to buy but will put restrictions on your funds that is deposited to their organization.

Consumer Complaint: Hello - I was directed here from XXXX to resolve this matter, though I 'm not sure I 'm supposed to be contacting you regarding any of this.. so I 'm sorry for wasting your time if this is not who I should be contacting. I recently made a purchase on Coinbase for the cryptocurrency ETH, and just a few minutes later I got an email saying my account was closed. After 4-5 days of emailing them to find out why, they finally responded saying that it was XXXX 's decision and they would not be supplying information as to why my account was closed. They also said they would help withdraw my ETH into a new wallet, but now have stopped responding to those emails. In a nutshell.. I originally tried to buy {$150.00} in ETH and {$150.00} in BTC from my XXXX XXXX Checking. Shortly after I got two separate emails cancelling both transactions. My friend told me the same thing happened to him, so he switched to try his savings account, and then it worked. So, I verified my driver 's license with the website, so my savings purchase limit would be raised from {$50.00} to {$250.00}. I then got verified, and bought {$250.00} in XXXX. Minutes later I received an email saying my account had been closed, and now here we are 5 days later, I have no access to my funds, and no one from Coinbase will contact me to explain any of this to me. All they said in a generic email, was that the decision was yours. my Coinbase account is under XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX - XXXX Please, help me if you can, thank you so much. XXXX

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I signed on to my Coinbase Account to sell Bitcoin for USD. Transaction was to sell XXXX BTC for USD to be wire transferred to my Bank acct. At the time of the transaction Btc was around {$4000.00}. Coinbase acknowledged the request. The BTC was deducted from my wallet, but the USD never appeared in my bank. I contacted Customer Support, they assured me that my funds were safe. After weeks of radio silence they responded and acknowledged that there was an issue and said they would return my funds to me. The Customer support agent stated that this was high priority for him and would be resolved on the following business day. That was XX/XX/XXXX. I still have no resolution and feel that my complaints are going unanswered. I want my Bitcoin back into my account as if this never happened. XXXX Btc is worth around {$8000.00} right now. It has been 3 months that Coinbase has made my funds unassailable.
