Coinbase instant buy screwed up

Hey boys

I placed an instant buy on coinbase with my card, but it says the transaction is pending for another 5 days. This is the first time it's happened, and it's completely screwing me right now. Does anyone know what's going on?
 
Placed it through the website. They ended up cancelling the order, so I have no clue what's going on
Not sure but IME you need the app to get the money instantly...
Im avoiding coinbase right now...their fees are absolutely absurd...one or two transactions is fine but when youre doing multiple moves, its adding up way too much on my end.

Yeah, I feel you man. Just weird that the last couple transactions have been instant prior to this. What app or site do you recommend?

Coinbase is the easiest to use...i use 2 other ones but honestly I have issues with them as well...in terms of purchasing funds via credit...coinbase is good but for me their fees are becoming just plain stupid....waiting for this card to hit the US this year called tenX....will make this whole fiat to BTC thing a breeze...also, Kraken is another one but like I said, its not perfect by any means.

I've seen the cryptocurrency tenX... I want to read about that... Thanks... Yeah I'm banned on coinbase for sending to a flagged bitcoin address in China...

I just set my Coinbase up today. Never used btc what are the fees associated with transfers? May just be better to do things the other way.

So on top of the 3.9% fee if u buy off card or 1% fee for bank xfer (may take a week to get money)... Trust me u want to use bitcoin... Cost a few dollars to send money and you can change it to less or more to change the priority level of your transfer. Let's say u bought $500 in bitcoin a month ago... For whatever reason you waited to make your purchase... Now you have $750 because of the increase in bitcoin price. People would argue its anonymous money xfer but only if u tumble it. Remember don't send to your source directly from coinbase... Get an external wallet (jaxx is good for Android) and send to it and the source from another wallet. Also buy a few dollars more bitcoin than the price of your purchase for xfer fees.

This is what I dont understand....Bitcoin in itself is decentralized. Meaning NO authority, etc. However, coinbase is acting like its own authority in terms of where you send your BTC. When i place an order from coinbase, im charged an initial fee, .99 to 1.49. Then several days later, my bank charges me another % fee depending on how much i purchase, my bank calls it an international transaction fee for purchasing funds from London, regardless of coinbases California location. This all adds up because a majority of what I buy are for altcoin investments which you need BTC in order to convert into something like XRP for example or dash, etc. I understand, however, that all this cryptocurrency thing is still in its infancy so as time and technology progresses, it should in theory only get better. I live in the suburbs these days but in the large city i work in, bitcoin atm's are popping up everywhere and i mean everywhere!

I would find a bank that doesn't charge international transaction fee. Also, this guy I watch on YouTube has a work around using gdax (which is coinbase) where u manually enter an order possibly a limit order name of video is "how to stop paying coinbase fees". This guy knows a lot about altcoin investing... Channel name is coin mastery
