  Yes, Coinbase does charge fees for having a negative balance in your account. If your account balance goes negative, Coinbase will deduct the amount owed from any future deposits or purchases you make. The fees are typically a percentage of the negative balance and can vary depending on the specific circumstances. It's important to keep your account funded to avoid incurring these fees.

  Having a negative balance in your Coinbase account can result in penalties. Coinbase may restrict your account privileges, such as the ability to trade or withdraw funds, until the negative balance is resolved. Additionally, Coinbase may report the negative balance to credit reporting agencies, which can have a negative impact on your credit score. It's crucial to promptly address any negative balances to avoid these penalties.

  As an expert in the field, I can confirm that Coinbase does charge fees for having a negative balance. However, it's important to note that these fees are not unique to Coinbase and are a common practice among many cryptocurrency exchanges. It's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of any exchange you use to understand the potential fees and penalties associated with a negative balance.
