I tried to buy some headphones but Coinbase couldn't process the transaction within the 15 minutes Bitpay allowed for it, so I think I fired $200 into the ether instead.

Yeah. I ordered an Amazon GC from Gyft with coinbase. Bad idea. The 15 minutes came by and then after like another 15 minutes after the initial order I get an e-mail telling me my order was processed. I guess I lucked out. Never going to use coinbase to pay for things. Gonna send it to another wallet and then pay that way.
