So I bought some crypto on Coinbase a few years ago. I decided to liquidate it as I need the cash. It went well converting the crypto to Euros (I live in Eurostan), so now I have Euros in my Coinbase account, but I can't for the life of me transfer the Euros out. I've added both my debit and credit cards to Coinbase, but when I go to withdraw, it just asks me to add a new card. There is no option to transfer to an existing card. I feel like I have just been scammed... Anyone else use Coinbase and had this problem?

You should be able to do it, the options probably just look weird, coinbase's site is intentionally hard to navigate. Make sure you're selecting withdraw and then also the cash account to withdraw from (EUR) and your cards should appear. If not go to settings and make sure they're verified and available.

There is something fishy going on. I click on "Withdraw cash", then I get this window up:

Both my Debit and Credit cards are listed in my settings and nothing needs to be done to verify them.

After a lengthy chat with tech support it seems that my bank (the largest bank in my country lol), doesn't allow deposits from dodgy sites directly into their cards. They also don't allow bank transfers as Coinbase seems to be on a blocked list of theirs. I ended up having to transfer the money to my Paypal account. Well, awesome... I think.

This will be how they do it….sure it’s your money, but good luck actually getting it into something that can be spent. Europe is fucked but it seems the US is following closely
