  It seems like you don't have enough funds in your Coinbase account to complete the transaction. Make sure you have sufficient balance in your account and try again. If you recently made a deposit, it may take some time for the funds to be available for use. Additionally, double-check if there are any pending transactions or holds on your account that could be affecting your available balance.
