Yup, maybe coinbase being PTSD-level gunshy explains something.
I had an account made years ago, linked to my company's business bank acct and did some exchanges; all went fine. Then after a few years of inactivity, I tried to make a small transaction, and kept getting error messages, then questions of verification - the whole invasive lot as you described. I had no problem complying, went through half a dozen++ separate tickets that kept ghosting me and/or proposing non-working solutions (yet another invasive verification...). Finally after ~6 MONTHS of this nonsense, I suddenly got verified and it started working -- on the same damn account that had previously worked.
And crypto was supposed to be so easy and replace banks.
Coinbase's landing page blares out: "The future of money is here"
Right. It's still forking vaproware and worse than ever a decade and a half later. So much wasted potential. Ugh
EDIT: Aaaannd, I just signed in for the first time in many months, and the only thing I can access is an Account overview screen and some transaction data. No evident way to see my current holdings, prices, or way to cash out. But they do have a convenient [Close Account] button at the bottom, with a warning that it is irreversible and should have $0 balance
Nice.
