Okay, I've resolved to just not buy bitcoin.
How did my account get knocked in credibility? just for asking? I never transacted with anyone last night.
Also, for the record, I'm in the US, and Coinbase's instant purchase
is rejecting all credit cards currently:
https://community.coinbase.com/t/verified-credit-card-backup-stopped-working/10318/25Skrill is currently banned in the US, and localbitcoin charges usurious rates.
Thanks for wasting my time with no information, wish I hadn't put the time into this post or this forum at all.
Deuces, won't be back.
Bullshit and you know it. There might be a problem with Chase cards but others work. I just tested it out by purchasing 0.01 BTC instantly and the authorization went through just fine.
So step off your high horse and do things the proper way. Get verified on Coinbase or wait 5 days. Don't come here expecting to bypass verifications (or "usurious" rates) that are there for a reason.
