For example, when eToro started, it was only focused on foreign exchange trading.

I checked eToro on TrustPilot and it had a poor rating with 2,847 reviews.

Obviously, the negative reviews overwhelm the positive ones.

These negative reviews were majorly centered on users’ inability to access their funds.

eToro team responded to some of the reviews, promising solution on the platform.

Then on WebOfTrust, eToro has a 3star rating with 83 reviews (mainly negative). eToro is tagged suspicious on this site.

The reviews here were also based on inaccessibility of funds but there were no replies from the eToro team.

I also checked eToro on SCAMADVISER and the trustscore was 0%.

The number of negative reviews are high, which is discouraging.

Next, I will show you the steps to take to earn from eToro.
