PSA: Your Bank MAY be charging on EVERY purchase on Coinbase!

I just recently went through some statements - there's multiple $2-$3 Service Charges listed as 'INTERNATIONAL POS FEE' (each individual transaction - usually $100 buys) when using my banks debit card for Instant Buys.

From another thread I read from people seeing these fees pop up in their accounts - "March 25th, 2014, the IRS stated that bitcoin shall be treated as a capital asset (property); and shall not be treated as a foreign currency."

This is ON TOP of Coinbase's fees for transactions.

My bank is in the US (PA HQ). Coinbase is in the US (CA HQ). There's nothing international about these fees.

Thoughts?
