  If you don't have enough money in your account when Coinbase completes a purchase, the transaction will fail. Coinbase requires you to have sufficient funds in your account to cover the purchase amount, including any fees. If your account balance is insufficient, Coinbase will not be able to complete the transaction.

  If you're short on funds when Coinbase tries to complete a purchase, you'll receive an error message indicating that the transaction failed due to insufficient funds. To successfully complete the purchase, you'll need to add funds to your account and try again.
