Someone on another HN thread said that they bought some bitcoins at a certain price, price jumped by a couple of dollars and five days later Coinbase cancelled the transaction due to 'lack of supply'.
One can only assume that in the reverse case they'd have pocketed the difference. So it seems like it might be the latter.
That's unfortunate. It'd be nice to be able to buy and sell BtC with the same app I use to transfer them, but I'm not letting them use me for arbitrage just for the sake of convenience.
