I was shorted on an order Dec 6th and sent an email. My account balance reflects the coin is there so they must have fixed/filled the missing coin but I never received a reply to the email.

For the record, as of 12/17 7:30PM PST, the full 3.0 BTC were returned by the other party (that was awhile ago) and no response from Coinbase. Beware Coinbase's wallet client.

Thanks, I'll look into WoT. I'm currently working on a local face-to-face network, and a bit of hope here, my contact returned my message and said he would return them the next day. I'll believe it when I see it.

But, back to Coinbase. Obviously the pending transactions did get confirmed. Noo! I have had no response from them in almost 24 hours, but I expect them to take a day or two from past experience.

coinbase a day or two??? LOL good luck.. try 2-3 weeks.

I'm basically just blowing off steam, here. Figured some others may want to join.

4 hours ago I was trying to complete a 1.5 BTC transaction with another party from my Coinbase app which has built in wallets. Oddly, I got an error message saying error, it could not be sent. So I tried again. No luck so I scrounged up 1.5 BTC I luckily stored on another mobile wallet (risky stuff, I know). Well, 3 hours later I open Coinbase and see two 1.5 pending transactions had just started, destined for the same address from earlier. I'm hoping the other party is honest enough to return it. Hmmm.

I get worried when basic software makes such huge mistakes like this and inothers in Coinbase's app.

Nasty. I suppose actual functional ineptitude can be added to their long-documented selective scamming practices.

Learn to WoT, stop subjecting yourself to this nonsense (and supporting their continuation in the meanwhile, y'know?).
