I got a message that they whitelisted me for future transactions, but there was no mention of the transaction I tried to make on 10/31. That message came yesterday, and I replied saying I'd prefer to have the Bitcoin I ordered, but if they refuse to sell it to me, then they need to refund my purchase. So far I've had no response from that and they still have my money (now over a week after it was ACH debited from my account). Today was a Veteran's Day, so it's possible they've initiated a transfer of funds back to my account (which I still think is scammy...don't blame me for the price of Bitcoin rising and you not covering yourselves, Coinbase) but without communication I really have no idea what they're doing.
Well, I finally got an ACH deposit back in my account from Coinbase today (technically still pending). So, despite the fact that they feel I'm sufficiently non-high risk enough to "whitelist" future transactions, they don't want to honor my first one, which I was using to test the waters. I'll be sticking with other services from here on out and closing that account. I don't have any faith in Coinbase and they just held my money for over a week (or used it to purchase the Bitcoin I ordered and sold it to someone else). If Coinbase is looking to lose customers, they're doing a great job. I'm closing my account.
