Recommendations to others considering eToro:
Stay away from eToro. Use coinbase or other trading platforms that actualy has a functional customer service department that does not hide behind obscurity. Use companies that are reachable by phone or through live chat that does not first require you to login into their services, since that might be the very issue you may need to solve at times. Overall, eToro feels untrustworthy to be holding and managing my funds, and I cannot in my clear conscious recommend this to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is eToro solving and how is that benefiting you?
After transferring in my money from my bank account, eToro locked me out of my own account. For some reason, their 'email login' link is not being sent, which effectually prevents me from accessing my own money. Live chat function is only accessible once a user is logged in, which is utter foolishness, since it cannot be used by users like me who are having trouble logging in to their system. Their phone number, which was not displayed in their own website and only found through BBB.org search, is automated system without any way to reach a live customer service agent. This leaves me with only Helpdesk ticket system, which is horrandously slow and so far the agent is uninterested in solving this issue for me, which I think is borderline criminal.
