In general, Coinbase does not charge a fee to use our Hosted Digital Currency Wallet service. Transfers of virtual currency to an address off the Coinbase platform may incur network transaction fees, such as bitcoin miner’s fees, which Coinbase may pass through to you. Any such transfer fees will be disclosed to you at the time of the transaction.
Your exchange rate for buying or selling digital currency through our Conversion Service is calculated as the market rate of the digital currency on Coinbase’s GDAX platform, plus a spread between 0 to 200 basis points determined by the size of your transaction, market volatility and length of time using Coinbase ("Exchange Rate"). In rare circumstances, the market rate from GDAX may not be available due to outages or scheduled maintenance. In order to provide you with uninterrupted services at such time, we may derive market pricing data from unaffiliated digital currency exchanges. Exchange rates quoted in these circumstances are subject to spread exceeding 100 basis points. The final exchange rate will be quoted to you before you complete your transaction.
We may charge fees (“Conversion Fees”) to use the Conversion Service, which vary based on your location, payment method, and other circumstances. In some cases we may charge an additional fee on transfers to and from your bank account.
We will always notify you of Conversion Fees and any other service fees that apply to each transaction in the aggregate, in two instances: (1) immediately before you confirm each transaction and (2) in the receipt we issue to you immediately after each transaction has processed. Unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of your transaction, the Conversion Fees you pay is calculated by one of two methods:
The greater of:
(a) Minimum fee — a flat fee that applies to conversion transactions under $200, and which is disclosed before you execute the transaction.
(b) Percentage fee — a variable fee determined by region, product feature and payment type, calculated as follows:
