WTF Coinbase?

I have sold several times through Coinbase, always with 100% success (after processing period). 

In the back of my mind, I always wondered what might happen if the coin value went up when I was due to get paid.

Well, I never found out because they always went up by the time I got my deposit because... that's just what bitcoins do!

So last week, I decided I was willing to wait and pay less for my BTC via Coinbase instead of paying a little more for instant fund via Localbitcoin.

The result has got me kinda pissed off...

Because 1 day before I was supposed to get my bitcoins, my transaction was marked "canceled"

Is it a coincidence that the value of bitcoins had also gone up considerably from the time I submitted my purchase?

Isn't it reasonable to expect that, if a bank account was deemed "safe" by coinbase for selling, the same bank account would be safe for buying HuhHuh

I contacted CB a couple days ago and have not heard back.  Very disappointed unless there can be a good explanation from them.

Anyone else have this experience?
