I bought one ETH last fall that Coinbase took away from my account and has been holding hostage from me for 8 months. Apparently my Credit Card expiration date was not correct or something, but they successfully took my money... and show that I have no crypto either. Their support has been a nightmare. I'm really excited to move away from Coinbase to Robinhood as soon as possible.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/ paints a pretty ugly picture of Coinbase's support. I'm glad I never had issues but took all my money out this year.

But keep in mind that Coinbase has millions of customers, so even a small percentage with problems can make a scary-looking subreddit.

I had a few issues with them and I contacted them in every way I could. No response, ever. Not even after months of trying. Coinbase support just doesn't exist.

I think we need to see how Robinhood shapes up. AFAIK their customer care isn't great either. And with their estoeric rules on coin transfer this might not go down well.

I agree. Hopefully they turn into a serious competitor, but right now it's a little too early to tell.
