Introduction
Coinbase is a popular cryptocurrency exchange that many people use to buy and sell Ethereum. However, if you're using it to send Ethereum from one wallet to another, there are some steps that need to be taken before your funds can be sent. This article will explain how you can do just that!
Copy your *Metamask* ETH wallet address
You need to copy the Metamask ETH wallet address that you see in the top right corner of your wallet. This is a long string of numbers and letters, and it's case sensitive!
Now, go back to Coinbase and enter this copied address into the Amount field.
Get your Ethereum address ready to be used
You will need to get your Metamask ETH address ready.
Go to metamask.io and create an account by clicking on the "register" button at the top of their website. After filling out some basic information, click on "import" where you can then select "private key". Paste your private key into the box and click "load".
Go to Coinbase and feel free to go back to the homepage
To send eth from Coinbase to Metamask, you will need to go to Coinbase and feel free to go back to the homepage at www.coinbase.com
Click on the "Send" button at the top of your screen. From here, copy your ETH wallet address by clicking on it and then pressing Ctrl + C or ⌘ + C on Macs (or Control+C for PC).
You can now paste this into Metamask's settings page under "Advanced," where it says "Copy Address."
Enter the amount of ETH you would like to send, or click "Max" if you'd like to send all of your funds. (Note that there is a $10 minimum).
You are now ready to send your ETH.
You will be prompted to enter the amount you would like to send, or click "Max" if you'd like to send all of your funds. (Note that there is a $10 minimum).
The amount of ETH you are sending will be displayed on the next screen along with its price in USD and in Metamask's native token (which is MKR). Once you have entered the correct figures, confirm them by clicking “Send” and wait for confirmation from Coinbase before proceeding with any other steps listed below!
You will now be prompted to send! Make sure to double check all information before sending. This is just a simple step but it is extremely important as misclicks can lead to loss of funds. If it all looks good, click "Send".

Your transaction has been sent! Now all you have to do is wait for it to arrive in Metamask. You should now see a confirmation of the transaction on Coinbase and Metamask, as well as on Etherscan. This means that your transaction has been sent! Now all you have to do is wait for it to arrive in Metamask
If you want to speed up the process, there are several ways:
- Paying a small fee (0.5 - 2%) will help your transaction get processed more quickly by miners. This can be done by clicking “Send” from within any wallet at https://www.coinbase.com/mywallet/ and choosing from one of these options: 1) Send Withdrawal; 2) Withdrawal; 3) Receive Payments; 4) Buy Bitcoin or Ethereum with PayPal / Credit Card etc... -> This option allows users who want faster processing times but still want their coins back quickly out there looking for work!" *"
Here are some steps for sending your Ether from Coinbase to Metamask wallet:
- Copy your metamask eth wallet address from the website and open it in a separate tab of your browser. Don't forget to save the information on paper or in an audio file so that you can easily find it later!
- Go back to Coinbase website, which can be done by clicking on this link: https://www.coinbase.com (you will be redirected). Click on "Sign Up" button on top menu bar, fill out all required fields with valid data (such as name, email address etc.). After completing registration process successfully click "Continue". Now you should see two buttons below "Sign Up": "Receive" and "Send". Click on either one of them - depending how much money is needed by users who want buy/sell crypto-currencies; because sending process has different fees depending upon what type of transaction is being made at any given moment."
