Guys I need help and clarification please.

The last 30 times I have withdrawn bitcoins from commerce.coinbase.com I'm unable to withdraw the entire account balance.

Say the account balance is 100$ and I click on withdraw, MAX amount, it shows 95$ after the withdrawal, still 5$ is left on the account.!!

For several months it has been impossible to withdraw the total amount, it's annoying :(
 
No not really, I will open a ticket with them.
 
We tried to ask them last week by ticket / e-mail system what the issue is. No answer at all. Personally I figured out that if you put the transfer to medium rather then slow or fast, you can withdraw almost the entire amount.

This is a very strange behavior and I don't have any clue.

@tacokai @Admin are you sure that this is not just a higher transaction fee, so the order get processed faster?

I believe that In order to withdraw your funds you will need to pay a network fee to miners and naturally the fees will be higher if you want to process your payments faster!

from coinbase website FAQs:

Begin quote---
Why do I have to pay a network fee to withdraw? Where does this fee go? How much is this fee?-
A network fee is necessary in order to have your transaction processed by the decentralized cryptocurrency network. This fee goes to cryptocurrency miners, not Coinbase, as an incentive to secure the network and include your transaction in a block.

There are a number of network-dependent factors that are used to calculate a withdrawal fee, making it difficult to predict these fees before attempting to withdraw. That being said, withdrawal fees for Bitcoin tend to be $1.00-$5.00, and fees for other currencies tend to be under $1.00. In general, these fees will be higher when more payments have been received.

The service is as horrible as PayPal, do they pay rent to the same landlord?

After this thread was posted something changed in coinbase, I don't see they read it, but at least suddenly out of the blue I was able to withdraw almost all money except a few cents.

If I wasn't depending on this gateway they got stick their gateway up their a*s.

I assume the long response time is about the fake virus covid-coinbase
