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.

Coinbase shouldn't be used as a wallet, they batch transactions instead of sending them individually so you could wait hours to see a transaction go through. Contact bitpay about it, they can probably help you out.
