Understanding the price you pay

On simple buys and sells, Coinbase charges a fee and also includes a spread in the quoted price. Both depend on factors such as payment method, order size and market conditions, and they're shown on the preview screen before you submit. Coinbase says it may test fee and spread changes in different regions.

Coinbase Advanced is different: you trade against the order book, Coinbase doesn't add a spread, and maker/taker fees depend on your volume tier. Your exact rate is shown once you're signed in. Compare the crypto amount you'd receive on both screens before buying.

Funding, GST and Coinbase One

Coinbase advertises AUD deposits and withdrawals by PayID, Osko and bank transfer with no Coinbase fee. In Australia, GST is applied to Coinbase's fees, so the fee line on your receipt includes tax.

Coinbase One is an optional subscription, from A$4.99 a month for the basic tier, that removes trading fees on some simple trades up to its limits. It excludes Coinbase Advanced, and spreads still apply. Work out whether you'd trade enough for it to pay for itself.
