I keep my spending btc in gdax till needed and I moved some btc to play with the Shift debit card.
Just a quote for selling 0.00164800 btc on coinbase.
0.00164800 BTC $24.31
Coinbase Fee $1.49
Total Payout $22.8
I see what your talking about, coinbase calls it a "Conversion Fees"
https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/2109597From what I can tell, its a "Conversion Service." It looks like an add on fee for making it easy to trade.
Perhaps use gdax limit sell and ACH withdraw to avoid that fee.
Thanks for sending that link because I was unaware of it myself. I have made 100 different buy/sell back-and-forth from Binance to Coinbase and the fees are not even worth mentioning they were so cheap. It's why I had a heart attack when they charged it.
I find that to be totally unacceptable! Just ridiculously high!
