I was using a debit card to buy bitcoin on CoinBase.  I've been doing this on and off for many months.  Earlier this week, CoinBase imposed a 50-day suspension on my bitcoin purchases.  Note that this is a time-delay suspension.  Unrelated to the normal CoinBase caps.  At present, I have used less than 50% of all my buy/sell limits (as reported by CoinBase).  I've been in touch with customer service, but they will not tell me the reason this suspension is/was imposed, and they will not explain how to get out of it.  I've been told that it MIGHT be removed if I provide more personal info.   

From my perspective, CoinBase is interfering with (my) normal business for no good reason, in an effort to extort additional personal information from me.  No different from Wells Fargo or JP Morgan.  Time to move-on, I think.  I cannot post photos yet.  If anyone wants to see the screen caps, then send me a PM.
