When I first bought bitcoin through Coinbase it was put on a 12 day hold. The funds cleared from my bank account after 3 days, and I had to wait 9 more days before I could do anything with my currency. I contacted customer service, and the representative said he didn’t know why my funds were on a long hold, but made it out like it was because I had just created my account - a fraud prevention method. So I accepted that, and decided I wanted to buy more crypto today. I went on the support page and read through the guidelines again; it said I was able to transfer or withdraw once the funds had cleared from my account - so 3-5 days, possibly 7-10 if there is a weekend or holiday. Fair enough. So I bought some bitcoin, and now it says it’s on a 12 day hold! So apparently that’s the default on my account every time I want to buy any crypto. What?! No where was I told that my account would have some default holding period, on the website or by customer service. I know that it will again clear from my bank in the next 3-5 days, then I will just have to sit on it for a week or more for no good reason. To top it all off, I’ve been emailing customer service and it’s like I’m not even talking to a human. They just give these generic, scripted responses, whereby they reiterate the same guidelines I previously read, that are obviously false! There are plenty of services out there that are way less of a headache; save yourself time and stress and use a different wallet!
