Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Just signed up, and added funds to my account. I'm trying to pay a simple $6.25 bill, and my account has around $7 in it, but it's saying not enough funds whenever I try to pay to the address given to me. I'm confused?

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Update: Selected "USD" instead of "BTC", now it's getting even more confusing. The site I'm paying says "partial funds received", which i find insane, because I sent the $6.25 they asked for, now it wants "0.000022" and I have no idea how much this is, or what "0.000022" even means :noidea:

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Contact the website and have them look into it.

It might be a misspaid payment so they will have to manually look into it.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

0.000022 sounds like the bitcoin equivalent but that's like 2 USD cents...

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

I selected USD and sent $6.25, but it's saying partially received. The timer ran out, and ioffer still says I owe $6.25, but my account shows that it was sent.

Seems like i'll have to EMAIL Coinbase in order to get response, since they don't have a phone number, nor is live chat appearing. Not liking this company at all.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Like bigboss said - perhaps the payment flag needs to be updated on the website - likely a temp glitch or so

This invoice was under paid
Invoice Total: 0.008405 BTC
Amount Paid: 0.008383 BTC

That's the notice I've received, so i'll request refund and try it again, but first i need to know what all of those random numbers mean, and their USD equivalent.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Those random numbers are bitcoins

1BTC is work over $700 so $6 is going to be a small % of that hence being such a small number

BTC also does not clear right away when you get or send a BTC transfer. It will take from 20 to 60 mins on avaerage depending on how many confirmations are needed

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

The value of BTC most likely changed a little bit by the time you submitted your payment, which is why they are saying you still owe .0000022 BTC.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

WHAT!? Now I'm out of $6.25 because the Value of BTC changed. Don't think I'll be using this service again after I accept a payment from someone overseas. Ioffer hasn't responded, my account still states that i owe a fee, lost $6.26, added more, and now i can't send 0.000022BTC because the amount is too small to send even though prior i sent their asking fee, so there's no way they'll receive my money. %^$%&#%*$%^%$^%$^%$

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

If the value has changed by 0.000022BTC then you are only out $0.02

Usually things like that get let to slide though

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Google bitcoin converter and you can work out easily what.

The first time I used bitcoins and coinbase, I made a small error and had the same problem.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

For your country, whenever you're sending money via Coinbase did you select BTC or change currency to POUNDS before sending?

I selected "USD" and sent correct request amount, but it still wasn't enough, so when I tried to send ioffer the additional $0.22 cents afterwards Coinbase wouldn't let me because the transfer amount was too small.

Now I'm waiting on ioffer to tell me where my money is.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

That right there is why I'm so hesitant to use BTC for any legitimate business purpose. Zero accountability.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

You would not have take into account the fees when when sending BTC h nice the discrepancy

When used correctly BTC is totally fine to use, it just takes a little getting used to at first

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Yh it might have been the fees
next time dont send in usd send exact number in btc

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Hope for some good news for you today OP

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

Nope, still no response from ioffer or coinbase, and my customer is still having a hard time figuring out how to send me money. However the 0.93 cents I had in my account went up to $0.98 wow :dance:

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

They just send money to your BTC wallet. It should really be very simple.

Coinbase will just tell you that the money has been sent to the sellers wallet, which it would have been. Its the seller of the item your trying to buy that you need to contact

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

I've sent a request for payment twice, but he's still having trouble.

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

You just need to give him your BTC wallet and he can transfer the BTC. No need to send a request

Re: Having Problems With CoinBase
 

The BTC fluctuation changes so quickly and CoinBase seems to want to implement the change on the instant
