I agree with you, I think their coinbase pro fees are relatively reasonable, but I just don't see why anyone would use the "normal" coinbase, the fees are very high, I suspect it's probably name recognition, ease of use and trust.

Coinbase is just a money grab to extract money from people who don't know about Coinbase Pro. Really shady if you ask me and I'm surprised it doesn't seem to have damaged their brand name. The fees on "regular" Coinbase are outrageous and no one should ever buy through there.

Are there different requirements for Coinbase Pro that many users of the "normal" service wouldn't qualify for?

[rawtxapp]

Nope, you can just use your existing coinbase account to login to it, it's just more "advanced" as in the UI isn't just a buy and sell button, but still very easy to use.

No, it's pretty straightforward. If you're on Coinbase, you should switch to Coinbase Pro for the lower fees.
