Hi James, my team and i are your avid followers and we’re sad to hear that. We know some of the top brass in e-torro since we’re traders. We can endorse you to them directly in hope that this gets sorted out. I’m Jonathan and here’s our email info@pafti.ph

Platforms like that are zeros. All the more for decentralized applications to be pushed even harder.

ETORO ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS !! WHEN ARE ARE TRADING AND MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY AND YOU HAVE HAD MAYBE 10 TRADES IN A ROW ALL IN THE GREEN THEY WILL FREEZE YOUR SELL TRADE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES UNTIL OT SHOWS YOU LOST MO EY AND THEN THEY CLOSE THE DEAL. IT LEFT ME SCRATCHING MY HEAD A FEW TIMES WONDERING WHY IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IM MAKING MONEY. IM LOOKING AT SHUTTING DOWN USING THEIR PLATFORM SO BUYERS BEWARE !!!!

E-toro is scam. Believe me. Besides they are just cfd. When u buy an apple stock u really don’t own any share. It’s just like a bet between you and etoro. Same if u buy crypto from them u can’t transfer it to any crypto wallet

This exactly is my sentiment about eToro. If you buy stock in the Philippines, you own the stock, your counterparty is the company that issued that stock. In the case of eToro, your counterparty is eToro.

Try Interactive Brokers next time, or Charles Schwab if just US. You can't use your credit card in either of them, though, but they're far more legitimate than e-toro.

go with https://www.heygotrade.com/ James, it is not one of those bad brokers because they are highly regulated by the US SEC

withdrawals can take up to 8 business days depending on the method used. What information is in your account history cashflows? Also check that you have the right timeframe selected (top right) https://www.etoro.com/portfolio/history/cashflows

Do you have an account manager who was assigned to your eToro account? Seems you're a gold account member based on the amount you deposited. You could try reaching out to him/her.

Maybe SEC can do something about it...

Don't think they can do anything but they posted an advisory regarding unregistered foreign entities a couple of days ago:

“If an entity or an activity is unlicensed or unregistered and is based abroad, you run the risk of not getting your money back once these are transmitted outside of the Philippines,” the SEC said in its advisory on Monday.

I think this is a perfect example. This applies to platforms like e-toro, binance and others that are not licensed to operate in the Philippines.
