Topic: Why are Coinbase operating so badly? (Read 101 times)

I am hoping that I have placed this in the correct forum.  If I have not, I appologise.

I have been waiting for a withdrawal from Coinbase for 3 weeks.   I am new to this 'game' and the reason I ended up at Coinbase was that a 'friend' had referred me.  He was trying to get me involved in Bitconnect.

The first time I sent a message to support they replied by talking about another unrelated withdrawal.  The second time, they just ignored me.  Now they are just beginning to talk to me.   But this whole business is ridiculous.  I have forex accounts and I know that they deliberately slow down withdrawals because it means one is more likely to continue trading and lose more money.   But if Coinbase can't even get such a basic thing sorted out, how can they be trusted?  That's like can I get my money back please?   When the BBC rattle out the same story about how Bitcoin is just one big ponzy scheme, Coinbase failing in their duty facilitate timely and reliable withdrawals merely serves as actual concrete evidence to that effect. 

So the first time I tried to make a withdrawal it went through fine.  But I had a friend who was not able to link his bank account even though he had previously made SEPA transfers.   I then discovered that where I did have a linked bank account already that it had actually disappeared.  FFS  That's just F..kg ridiculous.  They can't even sort out this sh_t??   It's a fucking withdrawal FFS - so what can conclude?
