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'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

Been using Coinbase for ages. I’ve had issues like that before and it’s usually due to CB requiring you to log into the website and fill in some extra security details etc blah blah.

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.
