I accidentally basically pocket dialed a purchase of over 8,000$ worth of a coin on Coinbase from my bank account. This was an overdraft purchase. I freaked out and immediately sold for USD and tried to send back to my bank but couldn’t and in a panic accidentally deposited an additional 8000.
So at this point it shows 16,000 in USD but I can’t withdrawal any of it back to my account. The funds showed up but my bank account only has a few K in it... I end up transferring all my 7000 USD to my bank account that night from my Coinbase Pro portfolio that night to be able to cover some of the mistake I made.
I call my bank account and they say they can block the payments but it would create a dispute with Coinbase so I was suggested to let the payments go through and be rejected and pay an overdraft fee. Fine. But now Coinbase said I owed them money Or they would garnish my crypto for it. I made the payment from my Coinbase USD wallet and now I have under 8k. However I cannot send the remainder of my USD back to my bank account and the 7k I had withdrew to my bank from CB pro the other night showed up in my statement but does not reflect my balance and I still only have a few k in my account.
Can somebody please explain what happened? I’m not sure if I was just robbed.... will I ever be able to transfer the remainder of my funds back to my bank account? My hope is that I can’t send it yet because it hasn’t fully processed or whatever
Can you just explain this to me please. I already tried talking on customer service and they won’t even explain!!!
The current USD balance that you see in the OP screen will not let me withdrawal to my bank.... the he funds I sent from my USD CB pro wallet TO MY BANK are not in my available balance.

You made a purchase idiot. Also nobody here cares.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this coinbase is a mess. I was SIM swapped and wanted to speak with someone from coinbase to secure my account and notify them of a large transfer and sale I want to make Around 200k and they never got back to me.

Coinbase can take several business days to clear new funds that you send it from your bank. During this time the money may show up in your coinbase wallet as whatever coin/token your dumbass purchased, but you will be unable to move the money at all until the funds settle. Not sure if this is your problem, but it is something to consider.
Also set up 2fa ffs. Literally no reason not to and it will stop you from doing this kind of shit in the future.

I understand that I made a purchase. Now that it is covered, why won’t it let me send the USD balance from selling the ltc????
Daniel Long
what the fuck are you even saying man? if you transfer money to coinbase, you just transfer it back when its done.
Brody Moore
Because you’re a fucking idiot.
Dylan Perry
Cause you're a fucking idiot and deserve it. As we told you in the last thread. Stfu with the 'I'm freaking the fuck out'. You sound like a bitch

>goybase HAAHHAH who actually uses that shit besides redditors
Jeremiah Reed
There are probably more people you can call about this. Call the fucking bbb or something if this isnt a larp. "Im a boomer and i pocket dialed e-money. Help!"
Wouldnt crypto be a good investment anyway?
Isaac Garcia
They probably froze it until everything clears and as a disincentive for scammers attempting to do similar shit.
Wyatt Moore
how the fuck do you "pocket dial" a purcahse on coinbase? It's not just a fucking one button click process. Shitty larp. If not, you're so dumb it fucking hurts.
Elijah Ross
how in literal fuck did this retard pocket dia- >To increase account security, we strongly recommend enabling a two-factor authentication or security key holy fuck dude. you should not be investing in crypto if you can't do it properly.
Andrew Thompson
You took time to write this shit LARP.

Bro if you sent half the funds already to your bank its going to be a pending withdrawal. Or am I understanding wrong?
Nathan Morales
Coinbase lets your trade using your existing crypto as collateral. When you first buy it, like when you buy gas, it will first charge your bank a small amount while it processes for a week. youre fucked.
