The best metric of a broker's popularity is its reputation among users. This is a sensitive issue with most brokers, because: • Traders who feel slighted are more driven to provide feedback and publicly complain. • Scammers often use trader feedback portals to promote their dubious services. • Beginner traders are likely to lose out in the long-run. Hence the plethora of negative feedback they tend to leave. In eToro's case, all these issues are present. Judging solely by user feedback, eToro is barely a decent broker. Many users call it abysmal and a scam. Some of the complaints include: • Spread manipulation. • Underhanded market making. • Profit cancelling. • Delayed withdrawals. • Large commissions and fees on withdrawals. • Accounts blocked for allegedly no reason.
