>Edit2: we'll push through the bitcoin credit at today's price instead of the original buy price (which should be in your favor) since the mistake was on our part. Sorry again for the trouble! Is this an actual policy of Coinbase, or restricted to times when you get bad press? Because when I saw this post I could swear that it was about me. I gave you $467 about 24 hours after the OP for 0.5 BTC, with the promise that I would have the coins 5 days later (when they were still worth $450 or so). See this screenshot from earlier today http://imgur.com/4WrTDPy http://imgur.com/4WrTDPy Since I took that screenshot 8 hours ago, the coins have been credited to my account (finally) and are worth about half what I paid for them. Now my problem was a couple orders of magnitude smaller than that of the OP here, which is why it hasn't been worth my time to send a lot of emails about it or post on HN (and the market looked OK until 24 hours ago). I had chalked it up to the risk of performing financial transactions in an unregulated marketplace. But I feel compelled to provide another example given your assertion that this only occurred with a 'handful' of orders.
