What you should have done is get a wallet and transfer coins from CB to your personal wallet. In this case will be less suspicious rather sending straight from your CB acc or at least thats what ive heard. I use it as well but first transfer the coins to my personal wallet and from there i deal with transactions. Good luck!

Rick's the new leader guys!

Lol, i wish i was new, but i have wasted so much money on fee's and i feel the pain of others on a budget, i have been trying to let people know about how CB works and that people can buy a quarter for under a pound fees for the last two years.
The trick is to avoid wallets therefore avoiding crap fees.
And I'm sure any future crackdown on btc will first involve wallets.
I do have an edge wallet for LB referrals but the good thing about edge is it is anonymous, yes the fees are high but it's free money so i don't mind taking a lil hit now and again.

Kraken is cheaper for fees, more trustworthy than Coinbase too imo considering what’s in their tos :’)

just done this but seen the wallet has transaction fee!

I have been using Coinbase from day one myself, no problems

Coin base for me , just send it straight from there , no problems

I've used Coinbase for over 50 buys now. Never had a problem. The only tip I would have is of you are buying on cb with a credit card then let your provider know. Mine credit card kept getting rejected and it was because my bank didn't think the transaction was legit

Not sure how old this post is but as of 5/10/22 defo no .I had been using it no problem for 2.5 years, now an email saying broken violations (I top up & send that’s it ) and my account closed however I was able to withdraw what I had left over.
Also my bank is starting a block on crypto purchases in November .
Fk I need to purchase here for cranky mind & pain relief ! 👀😳

Every other wallet is a third party except blockchain itself ,it is bitcoin.
Though because of all the new regulations that have been sneaked through by those idiot crooks in government you now need a gold account verification to buy and sell bitcoin,which means photographic ID online through a company called verrify.
Plus they shut down Alphavend and all the ATM`s.
Man the hoops i have had to jump through to get to be able to just buy it,up to my bank telling them hey stop blocking stuff on to mastercard stop blocking me,hello it is me okay you all know me i have been on this planet a long time .... and now i can buy bitcoin again lol

I’ve use Bitpanda from the get-go, and their fees were reasonable at first, but lately the fees have been astronomical! Yesterday I ordered 7g’s and the fees for that one transaction was £27!! They also make it really difficult to contact someone for an explanation.

I'm leaving bitpanda because of the pathetic fees. I haven't tried(but will soon), but someone in lb was talking about buying btc on bittylicious and have exodus as a wallet

Coinomi is a good wallet

Coinbase > 3rd Party Wallet > Vendor

Not sure if this post is ancient or not but I use Coinbase myself, been getting ripped off with fee's for the longest time until recently when I found out about the advanced trade. So usually if I spend £60 on bitcoins they would deduct £2.99 to buy the coins and then 40p ish to send them, now I've started using the advanced trade the fee to buy £60 worth of bitcoin is 39p, much better!! Not sure how that compares to other crypto sellers because I've only ever used Coinbase but for me Coinbase does the job nicely and now my fees are way lower too which is great 👌

Coinbase are fine for me - just make sure you use the Advanced Trade (what was CB Pro) to purchase and the fees are pennies. If you use the usual buy method on CB the fees are ridiculous. Never had to wait more than 10-15 mins max for my sent btc to say received at transaxe. No problems whatsoever. Quick and easy! :-)

You probably need to ask folks where they live when asking about CoinBase if you're in the U.S. I'm in the U.S. and they booted me several years ago because of "suspicious" use of their service. I was just buying coin and sending it to one of these markets (don't remember if it was Lil Biggy or one of the ones that are no longer around) I'm just guessing that the satisfied customers here might not be living in the U.S. I use Coinmama now (London based, but your bank may not do foreign transfers like mine doesn't, requiring you to use PayPal debit card or something else to buy coin), no probs for years. Send my coins to a wallet (Exodus), then from there to the vendor. Good luck.

Coinbase no problem just only exchange so much every time and no more than 300 . Expect a random verication id check at some point wich all they will need is pasport and photo of yourself for proof then youl be secure with coinbase for future all the way luckily i had a photo of pasport information to send along with my photo of me. Just make sure you have the id available . Like i said in previous comment about length of time coins take to transaxee i was with kracken and could put any amount in there every time . I lost my pasport and they needed the verification id check with me holding the pasport up but i lost my pasport until i get new pasport i am stuck with coinbase but quicktime transaxee for me all times. I have a substitute for desperate ocasions, coincoupon but not all that good at all for big sums , still works tho !

Personally I buy from Cex.io and transfer into a local Exodus wallet on my PC. Its a fixed price in bitcoins for the withdrawal which works out at about $10, but as I tend to buy £500 at a time and thats the only fee, it works out fine for me. Never had any issues and once the coin is in my wallet, no charges.

Also CB carry a lot of weight in terms of pushing conformations buy setting reminders on the blochchain, i have total confidence with even very small orders that can otherwise be ignored and even discarded with other broker's, for example sending a tip to a vendor.

how does that work? don't miners just use fees to determine what to process?

Yes that is still the case but CB have a flagging or alert system for trades that are dragging which alerts miners re confirmations.
For some reason these reminders from CB are enough to confirm say the 3rd conformation on a very small trade.
I guess the system works because in the busy world of mining reminders seem to work but i would have to speak to a miner to find out if there is any other incentive for taking on a tiny CB trade other than being reminded about conformations.

For example i have six referral payments that are years old that will never be confirmed because they very small amounts and have been forgotten.
If these payments had been sent to me via CB i would have recieved them as i have never lost a small trade with them.

The way to do it is open a coinbase pro account then load your normal CB account with fiat which you then transfer to your pro account for free, then you buy btc on the CB pro exchange for about 0.20p for 70 dollars worth, you then transfer your buy back to your normal CB account for free, from there you you send you btc to LB for less than a pound.
I have been using this system for 2 and a half years.
At no point do you need a wallet, just your CB account and a pro (free) account.

I have seen posts saying not to send from CB to LB but LB must have this covered because I'm 2.5 years in and will be continuing this system.

Update 8/11/22
Coinbase now have a system called advanced trade which is the same system above without having to transfer funds between coinbase and coinbase pro which is much better than before, ive tried it a few times on LB, it works perfectly.

Could it have been transaxe hanging, been known to happen, never for that long though. Coinbase has never been an issue for me, transactions usually at the most take 30 mins maybe. Did see an email today from them about possible regulation changes...sounded official and a bit scary...financial institutions trying to get control of the crypto....wonders what others thought about that ...

Hey guys, im new 2 this. first post. Im setting up coinbase, is best to use coinbase wallet to send btc or should i use any specific wallet app?

I saw that comment too, saying their coinbase got shut down for sending to certain addresses etc...
I moved everything to wallet but sending from nano has a network fee

I find the charges high on Coinbase, I use btc just for sending I just use Coinbase for trading

can you not select the fee on coinbase? ive never used them but most wallets allow this

Never had an issue.

Coinbace has some of the highest fees you are better off using a different on-ramp.

Also it is important to keep your BTC in your own self custody wallet.

“Not your keys not you Bitcoin”

No probs with coinbase since June I always send from my wallet

Been using coinbase for some time and it works fine at my end.

I always come back to coinbase in the ends-its just too easy.

CB and exodus for me but I'm damned if I can find my BT1 address on exodus to link up Transaxe. It says to click something but it doesn't work.

I have the same issue as well, transaction has also been confirmed on blockchain but on transaxe page still shows up as awaiting payment. I got in touch with transaxe support as well, waiting to hear from them, I see there are quite a few other people with this problem

I've been waiting well over 24hrs now. First time ever more than a few minutes. Have messaged transaxe support but no response yet

Transaxe support told me it shows as unpaid... Yes, that's the issue.

Well thats it then. What happens next did they say? I'm going onto get in contact with them too.

They literally said it says unpaid. Nothing else. It's as if they don't think they have issues or something. I sent a link of the tx hash which literally shows the right amount going into the right wallet. Doesn't make any sense.

Me too. Hopefully get an actual response from transaxe support today, I sent them the link to the transaction on the blockchain

Same here its frustrating especially with postal cut off times 😒 🙄

This always happens to our customers we hope this problem gets resolved soon!♥️♥️♥️

Over 48hours for me now

Same. Still nothing from support who have read my messages

They got back to me asking for order number but nothing since I sent the info. Been 48 hrs now since order didn't go through

Mine finally went through two and a half days later. I sent link to the transaction, not sure if it helped. Have hope lol

Depending on how long you have been waiting for , I think that sometimes it can take a few hours for the page/system to update itself

Been over 24 hours now

Okay no worries - yes simple time delay! Unexpected. All good - Cheers.

Same thing just happened to me, buy a few times a week on LB and never had to wait 24 hrs for it to confirm a payment before but the BTC has left my wallet...
Someone advise if you can

I hope i am not experiencing this as i have been waiting now for over an hour for a payment to confirm,the first two order payments went through no problem.

10 hours it took to confirm the order very weird,never had anything like that happen before.

From a vendors perspective we're having issues with Transaxe payment system too.

Currently waiting on them replying to us again to see if there are any issues like there was back in April!!

Hope you guys manage to get sorted.

Thanks bro, was worried about looking like a bumhole for not paying promptly.

There's been quite a few people saying there's issues. Doesn't seem like it's affecting everyone but somethings happening somewhere!

Heh heh - if I get my door kicked in I'll try to warn you all first... xD

Hey thanks buddy, just good to know I'm not alone!

Yep me too mate been waiting over 24 hours. Loads having same issue

Seriously bad times - I could really do with getting out of my own head for a bit this week too!

I had this on Friday, 29th. Ordered at 19:57 but it didn't show as paid until 17:00 the following day. Just shy of 24 hrs.

Got a confirmation email over an hour ago and can see the transaction on blockchain.com but Transaxe page still hasn't updated and order is still unpaid. Has this happened to anyone else, certainly first time here.

Me too today, first time also. Transaxe seems slow today

Interesting. Will keep updated. Wonder if anyone's been able to make a payment today ?

I made one which was slow but after 30mins went through. My second has been two hours, still nothing

Hopefully it's just some issues their end and will go through. Fingers crossed.

Mine took like 3hours to get verified as payed on Saturday night. Went through in the end though

3.5 hours now, holding out hope !

Any luck yet dude ?

Same here

Would be good to know what may be causing the delay, have to say I've only experienced a delay with the exchange and not with Transaxe.

That's good to know, appreciate the info. Cheers.
