I'm not sure why really, but coinbase wasn't doing a very good job at keeping my card status and let me go on an avatar shopping spree.
I was browsing the avatars and clicked on a $9.99 "Knoo" when it gave me a Google pay prompt to purchase. I really didn't want to spend any money on a non fungible- but when the Google pay prompt popped up I decided to go through all the cards I didn't recognize to see if maybe one of them had $10 on it that maybe I didn't know about.
I try two or three cards that get rejected for insufficient funds when all of sudden one of the cards go through. I start investigating what card might have money on it and discover it's my coinbase card- which is odd because there are zero funds on the card, zero funds in the account, and the card is locked.
I check my account to be sure I've got no money and that my card is still locked- and it is. Oddly enough, the transaction didn't display in the transaction history- which normally shows up immediately. So for testing purposes, I decided to see exactly what it might let me get away with... and what ensued was a 20 minute shopping spree that resulted in nearly 20 avatars being added to my vault.
After awhile I click on one and the purchase finally gets denied. I get a text message saying a transaction was declined... this is what would normally have happened without sufficient funds. Out of curiosity I try a few more times and get a few more texts that it's been declined. I log back on and my balance still shows zero and nothing is overdrawn. I go to my transaction history and only the last transaction declines are posted... none of the purchases.
I go check my vault and they're there so I try and it lets me equip these ill-gotten characters. Only time will tell if coinbase is going to ask me to give them some money but I don't think they will have the nerve seeming how my card had no funds, and wasn't even unlocked for use.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to peddle them on opensea. I've got them in my metamask and got metamask hooked into opensea. I can see them but haven't figured out how to list them. Meanwhile I should have been asleep hours ago- but now got sucked into the world of reddit snoo's and knoo's.
Edit-
Hypothetical situation, but imagine your bank charging one of your cards that has been LOCKED for months. Yea I couldn't imagine that either. As a matter of fact I think I'd have to file a suit against them for failing to lock my card as claimed. Code is law, or something like that. /s
