How many btc are you buying? Is there anything that could be snagging from your banks end? I have used coinbase for awhile and have bought at the bottom on several occasions and never had this issue
I would rather not discuss financial details publicly. And, no, I made sure the money was present and cleared in the account prior to attempting.
Before someone asks, I would rather not wait the month or so of back and forth it takes for them to "whitelist" me.
Aside: I noticed CampBX has had it's USD deposits and withdrawals shut down by their bank, apparently. Is there any place in the US where I can actually buy BTC above board? Or, is my only option to wrangle with the Com-block exchanges?
I actually use my BTC to purchase goods. So, Gox is out of the question.
You're just complaining. Like any other exchange, they have had their fair share of obstacles, but they deliver and are more than open to working with you when issues arise.
Coinbase has posted here about their algorithm and it's running tighter than ever due to massive fraud attempts. If you don't want to send one message pointing out how you think your account has been mistargeted, then that becomes your own personal problem. Again, the systems aren't perfect and so a little work is going to be involved at this point.
Olaf has actively posted about how CB is willing to honor prices on accounts they have mistakenly cancelled orders through if you just point it out to them. Oh, but you wouldn't want to take the extra step right? Better post and complain about it on bitcointalk...
