I charged $150 (inclusive of fees indicated) into my Coinbase account to buy BTC. However, my bank statement showed that $154.2 was deducted. Does anyone know the reason why?
Was trying out coinbase but who should I report to because of the discrepancies as well?
Go check coinbase fees. From what it seems, you on ramped fiat via debit/credit card.
If you do not know, Visa/Master/AMEX, whatever payment company, charges a fee to the merchant whenever their services are used.
So most exchanges (merchant) charges this fee back to the customer (you). That's why the 2.8% extra they've charged you.
Seems like the fees you saw were only trading fees to buy crypto using fiat.
Swhy I only look for exchanges that can on ramp fiat free. For example, crypto.com via xfers is free. But if I use a credit card, if I'm not wrong, I'm charged a 3% fee.
I may be wrong, but this seems like the only possible thing I can think of.
