i have been trading with etoro for almost half a year now despite their many problems with their webtrader, i stuck by them as i do admit their openbook and webtrader is very easy to adjust to. i have of course lost a lot of money due to my own bad trades but this is not the issue i had these past weeks (more noticably since the greek elections i think) but i thought one or 2 problems are okay so i ignored my major loss at the time (they seem to always log me out when the market is high volatile or something same with everyone else).
basically, i have traded by copying someone and left it overnight as it was already in the red zone. i woke up and it went past the stop loss of my trades because the trader i copied extended her stop loss. shortly the markets all closed (not because it was their daily closing hours) due to some issues they have. so i not only lost all the money i used to copy but another chunk of money dissapeared from my account into negatives for a short while (luckily some trades were already in green) so i had very little money left to trade with when i closed everything.

i contacted etoro on one of their profile pages and was asked to send an email via their contact us page. it was ignored. I sent them some more and still ignored. i know it was ignored because i have 2 accounts. the first one broke due to similar reasons so i opened a new one. i withdrew money on my first account a few days before i contacted them on 2nd account about the issue. within 3 working days, they confirmed my payment on my first account, then sent another email saying i had to resend a clearer copy of utility bill (pending now...not sure why they confirmed it in the first place)) then i checked my second account and still no email. i normally get a reply within 2-4 working days for anything i ask.
I checked their terms before opening the second one as you can see below which im assuming means any accounts which has any connection to me or my house will be all linked together (im guessing no first deposit bonus) unless english has failed me othwerwise nowhere did i see that multiple accounts were not allowed.
heres where i read it. bottom sentence.

it also asks for pasport, utility bill etc before i deposited money so if they in anyway do mention no multiple accounts, they wouldve noticed shortly after the details was deposited.
whats even more weird is when i depositied money on my second account i ddint get a confirmation email, so i contacted them and they said i should see it in my history which was true but i prefer a confirmed email in case they suspend my account for no reason.
im not sure if they are really that busy (despite them having a help desk in their live chat everyday) or if theyre just trying to scam me, all i know is i dont think they care and i just want my money back. i emailed
support@etoro.com and the only email i recieved was asking my username and when i contacted their support team and after that...nothing.
for those who think i should wait a bit longer, heres another problem on my first account a few months back)
overweekend trade was left because i was in reds again. hours before market opened, i was basically 25 pips away from stop loss ($1 per pip) betting $90 so i was supposed to be at -$65 but i was for some reasons i was at -$80 (trust me, i made no mistakes in in the math)...thats right, it changed on sunday evenning so i contacted their live desks and they said they will solve the issue (i was hoping before market opened). but almost an hour later way after the trade hit stop loss, they then email me they couldnt help me because the trades have hit stop loss. they deliberately knew and waited for me to lose my money so they dont have to do a damn thing!. (that was the first time i realised the webtrader problem and how irresponsible they were but i was still new and did managed to withdraw money so i stuck by them).
so now i believe they're just ignoring me hoping ill forget the entire issue
