Coinbase added explicit disclosure of fees for limit orders on its platform. The updated language states that simple limit orders on crypto incur a separate 1% limit order execution fee, in addition to a Coinbase fee (which varies by payment method, up to 1.875%). These fees are disclosed in the price details and order preview before execution, and the zero trading fee benefit does not apply to the limit order execution fee.

These fees are disclosed in the price details and order preview screen before you execute the trade, allowing you to evaluate the total cost before confirming.
