Why is my Coinbase not letting me buy?

Why can’t I add a payment method on Coinbase? You can’t add a payment method on Coinbase because it is not currently supported in your country . In certain countries, you can only buy crypto using a debit/credit card. However, you cannot sell crypto as transferring funds back to a card is not supported.

From time to time, due to violations of our User Agreement , Coinbase may restrict access to buy/sell services on a customer’s account. This can happen for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, high risk of fraud.

Visa and MasterCard debit cards can be used to buy on Coinbase. We’re unable to support prepaid cards or other cards without an associated billing address. To learn more about how to cash out funds using your debit card please see, Instant Card Cashouts.

If your account isn’t recognized as a trusted payment source , you may not be able to buy crypto and add cash on your account. Coinbase uses an automated system to help us protect the community and our site from fraud.
