What other exchanges are there that I can use to deposit ETH, exchange for USD, and then withdraw to a US bank account? Possibly, even a wire transfer.

I've been trading NFTs since the end of 2021. I made all of my ETH and income doing only that. I only use coinbase to exchange some ETH into USD once a month for bills and mortgage. All of it was properly reported to the IRS and the taxes are paid on it.

They're asking for a letter from my HR department, payslips, loan agreements... wtf

I don't have any of that, lol

They are, I think, in the process of doing the same to me.

For depositing a large sum of money. I haven’t withdrawn anything in 6+ months.

Now my account is restricted, even though I reverified right after that.

Their customer service sucks. The agents clearly are not native English speakers and say shit that doesn’t make sense/misunderstand questions too frequently. I have been waiting to hear back about an “account review”.

It’s really frustrating, but ultimately - other than the support - this is the US government’s fault for going after crypto companies and all the bullshit AML/KYC laws Coinbase is trying to comply with.
