  • AnApatheticNiko 🃏♠️Niko♦️🃏 (@AnApatheticNiko) reported

    Been on hold with @etrade for an hour now. Wish someone would pick up. My transfer from robinhood seems to be in error on here as well. Everything has been going horrid lately..

  • CamasAnn Ann D (@CamasAnn) reported

    @etrade I e-mailed on 1/29/21 about a IRS 1099 form error and STILL have not received a reply. I've been on hold 40 minutes now so it appears a FINRA complaint is the next step as E*Trade is way too big now to care about customers (bought my old BD and merged my account 2 yrs ago).

  • CesarGCJr Cesar G. (@CesarGCJr) reported

    @AlNuman62159584 @traderkylec @etrade Pretty good actually. The only issue I’ve ran into is that if you’re buying an otc within the first 2 minutes of the market open it takes roughly a minute for it to tell you if you’re filled or not. But it does fill you pretty quickly it’s just the message that lags

  • alcolysol she/her (@alcolysol) reported

    @etrade has the worst customer service :( I’ve been on hold for 1 hour already 😭

  • simplyismail Orange Valley (@simplyismail) reported

    @etrade Feedback on your platform 1) While trading SHORT IRON CONDORS for SPX, even though my maximum loss in the trade is say $300, etrade throws an error that insufficient funds. TD does accept and the margin blocked for short spreads,etc is = max loss. Pls update/fix this

  • Telestrio AWG | Telestrio (@Telestrio) reported

    I'm gonna say this once. **** @etrade

  • vin007USMC Vin Outhavong 🇺🇸☁️ (@vin007USMC) reported

    @traderkylec @etrade I haven’t face any issues yet with E*TRADE. I use E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade. Looking forward to seeing the videos.

  • Ben_BrainDoctor Doctor Benjamin (@Ben_BrainDoctor) reported

    @etrade Etrade it'll be nice to not have to wait for 4 hrs to talk to an agent. That's not an exaggeration. I get that you're busy but in which planet does someone have 4-6 hrs to wait on freaking hold? Esp when you're having urgent issues with your account like being unable to trade.

  • jlong78la My son calls me Captain Bartlett (@jlong78la) reported

    @etrade I waited to live chat with someon for 2 hrs yesterday and then it froze and said tech error. I know your game now you bastards. Im calling in the afternoon this time and just staying on hold until the 1 rep you have answers! Ive been trying for 7 days to reach somone

  • Rafagon Rafael D. González Castellanos (@Rafagon) reported

    @etrade You sent me an alert to call customer service but you kept me on hold a very long time. Call me when you're ready.

  • Havok27 Havok (@Havok27) reported

    Honestly at this point I just want my money back. **** the account I don't wanna use @etrade services at all now

  • Mark_DeWitt Mark DeWitt (@Mark_DeWitt) reported

    @etrade may have the worst customer service wait. Chat-165 minutes, email not returned from 1/27, and forget holding forever on their 800 number.

  • RyRyRitter RitterTrading (@RyRyRitter) reported

    @nathanielwlee @etrade For me it says I’m down 150 where my account balance is still at the same place it said I was down 50

  • ApplebeesKuwait Yakklebee's Grill + Bar (@ApplebeesKuwait) reported

    .@etrade What is wrong with your service? Why has my money been locked away for a week unable to be traded or transferred? Why can't I get a hold of a representative? Why are you scamming me?

  • waffloop Smart boi (@waffloop) reported

    @jlong78la @etrade Nice! It wasn’t working at all for me. I’ve spent all day trying to get through - not even exaggerating. My chat said 400 minutes away from getting through. Their whole site is a joke. Once I can finally login, I’m leaving too.

  • jbl69397883 jbl (@jbl69397883) reported

    @etrade cant login into my account on the desk top whats going on here no one picking up the phone

  • ApplebeesKuwait Yakklebee's Grill + Bar (@ApplebeesKuwait) reported

    @mtfb50 @etrade Yeah, **** all legitimate institutions at this point.

  • BryanKwong3 Bryan Kwong (@BryanKwong3) reported

    @etrade I’ve been on hold for a total of 14 hours in the past week trying to contact customer support ... no one has picked up ...

  • HenryFHampton2 Henry F Hampton (@HenryFHampton2) reported

    @KatBrezler @etrade Going to cancel my account. Terrible service I wish I had read Twitter comments before opening my account

  • petedoom Pete Doom (@petedoom) reported

    @etrade the latest android app update is terrible. Apparently it's fine on apple. On android this is the worst you've had in 7+ years. Please revert back to the old version. Logged out non-stop for no reason.

  • albis_andreas_ Albis Andreas (@albis_andreas_) reported

    @0001_Trader @etrade I have no problems with the trading platform

  • unStunned Bert unbound (@unStunned) reported

    @etrade Plus and also too ... jobs growth was poor to awful. But hey, Wall Street!

  • Just1nTradez Just1nTradez (@Just1nTradez) reported

    Hey @etrade I spent 6 total hours on hold this week, and still havent spoken to customer service about the time you filled a canceled market order and then wouldn’t let me sell it.

  • waffloop Smart boi (@waffloop) reported

    @Ben_BrainDoctor @etrade This exactly what's happening to me. I'm still sat in a customer service queue from a query I asked at 12. I've currently been on hold for 5hrs and 15 minutes. The chat windows says an agent will be with me in 70 minutes. What a load of horseshit.

  • d_rockhopper D_Rockhopper (@d_rockhopper) reported

    @0001_Trader @etrade Schwab let’s you buy CE with no problem.I use them and E*TRADE. The only drawback with Schwab is that they limit your buys/sells to 999,999 per order not even the full mil. So you would need to put 10 separate orders if you wanted to buy/sell 10mil shares minus 10.

  • michellebosso Michelle (@michellebosso) reported

    @etrade sat on the phone for 50 minutes because something on your website wasn’t working. Trying to open an account. Not great service.

  • LueMcclain LueMcClain (@LueMcclain) reported

    @etrade don’t have customer service . Do not use them !

  • KlasBack Klas Back (@KlasBack) reported

    is @etrade going under? Third try for customer service call the last 2 days...."5 1/2 HOURS wait until your representative will be with you". I have NEVER heard anything as bad ever. What is going on??? (previous two calls not even a time estimate - gave up after 30 mins or so..)

  • iemmathu iemmathu (@iemmathu) reported

    @etrade You have the worst customer service ever! Your “Customer Service” line puts me on hold for 30 mins then hangs up. 3x now i’ve been hung up on after being on the line for 30 mins or more! Your “Live Chat” wait time is 4 hours. How do I get through? Please help me!!

  • nvrdjt Bryan (@nvrdjt) reported

    @etrade How dumb are we to wait for hours to speak with somebody? Log-in issues at the open and 15-30 mins to trade on top of that are frequent occurrences. Investments move tomorrow at 9 am. I doubt Im the first.
