for the 5th day coinbase wont let me verify ID.

register at coinmama, login, and it says not available in georgia.
login my VPS in Pensylvania where it's available, and still does not work?

i used ip locator, and find my IP at Penn. how come it doesnt work?
 
Try other options.

Xapo
Paxful

I'm sure you'll have a good choice go with after testing both out.
 
I don't think you can buy bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies with a credit card, without verifying your govt. photo id with selfi or something.

Try cex.io but you have to verify with govt Id and take selfie
 
And you think bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are 'anonymous' (but want your id) and secure,not in this world.Bitcoin will work if governments didn't exist.

it appears that paxful works for georgia, but it got a lot of complaints online.
i clicked the buy button, and nothing happened. dont know what's going on...
also says "cost you $10 for each dollar"??
 
coin mania aswell high prices tho.

also coinbase depend on ur country
 
Coinmama works for me. Very uncomplicated. Yes, you need to verify, but at least it works. They charge 5% fees I think.

Coinbase just suspended my account. Never had a "huge" transaction with them (just a few hundred $$$) and I was also verified. Suddenly couldn't log in anymore. No reason given. Messaged the support many times, no reply at all. Called them, no one picks up even after one hour of waiting. What a experience.
 
coinbase not solid. try buying as proxy from a country that doesnt require identityo_O
 
Save your troubles. Just go with LocalBitcoins.com

I posted this same frustration recently. I opened so many accounts with bitcoin exchanges and so on but they kept asking me to 'verify'. I even verified it but they reject my payment because I bought the bitcoin at a lower price.

With localbitcoins, I dealt with a local seller. The price will be marked up a bit but just treat it as transaction fees as you would like in any bitcoin exchanges. LEss than 30 mins and it is all done.
 
and I tried chage paypal to bitcoin, it says that it will costs me 150 $ per each dollar , wtf ?

did it really charge you $150 fee though?

i think paxful looks fishy. i dont understand "You get 10.02 USD worth of bitcoin"?? when i entered 100USD..
and it does not work when i click the 'buy now' button.. said: "Minimum trade amount is 0.001 bitcoins which is about 99.99 USD".

nothing on there makes sense to me...

i dont mind verify if it works. i start to think coinbase just doesnt like me.. i have tried almost a week now and cannot even upload my drivers license! always say 'load too heavy... etc.' what kind of business is that.. i wonder.

exactly.. i must have opened close to 10 accounts. one of them even asked me for SSN?! i entered a garbage number, and eventually told me they are not available in GA!

i thought localbitcoins was very expensive... seems bitQuick is cheaper??
i've just about tried everything i could find.
 
Localbitcoins is only like $100 per BTC more expensive than coinbase.
 
wow, the transaction fees and volatility kill.
i spend $100usd, by the time it reaches my destination wallet, i have only $78 left. lol
