That made me wonder what coinbase charges for selling for $5?
Is buying in so small lots really feasible?
It's a flat fee + variable fee. The flat fee alone is $0.30. IMO, it's best to buy in increments of at least $20 (that puts the fee at like 5% of the total), with more being better.
Awesome news. They changed it. It used to be flat-fee + variable. Looks like they still charge flat-fee on small transactions, though, but aren't adding on the variable fee anymore so it's good:
"** For US Customers, orders less than $15 are charged a flat fee of $0.15"
Thanks for the heads-up!
