  • 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

  • TDDOR @TDDOR (@TDDOR) reported

    @etrade WTF is wrong w/ your L2? $SMPP shows 10k shares through GTSM but it's not there... the actual real ask is .12.... Why does your L2 lie to investors????

  • CozmikBandeeto CosmicBandito (@CozmikBandeeto) reported

    @Thoughts_NJ @etrade This is where second shift is not such a bad thing.

  • PhilRusso17 Phil Russo (@PhilRusso17) reported

    @etrade @MorganStanley ever since you people took over it has been one issue after another i’m taking my money away from you

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Teri_FutureMD Teri Whitman (@Teri_FutureMD) reported

    @etrade are there actual people work and assisting customers or do you all truly NOT want to help ppl? I’ve been hung up on 8x after being on hold for 1-3hrs at a time. Chat puts you on hold and NEVER picks up

  • IPODave IPODave (@IPODave) reported

    @etrade service is going down extremely fast to point I can't recommend them anymore....

  • 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!!

  • alcolysol she/her (@alcolysol) reported

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

  • 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..)

  • 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.

  • 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 ...

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

  • broman_44_ Broman (@broman_44_) reported

    @etrade why ******** can’t I sell?

  • Brandon_Jones98 Brandon Jones (@Brandon_Jones98) reported

    @etrade Why don’t you get someone to answer the customer support line. I’ve called three days in a row and have been on hold each time for over an hour with no answer.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TDDOR @TDDOR (@TDDOR) reported

    @etrade WTF is wrong w/ your L2? $SMPP shows 10k shares through GTSM @ .04 but it's not there... the actual real ask is .12.... Why does your L2 lie to investors????

  • DoonyTomatoes Daniel (@DoonyTomatoes) reported

    @etrade @MorganStanley there's usually a two or three hour wait at your customer service line

  • theshakirad theshakirad (@theshakirad) reported

    @0001_Trader @etrade Try TD Ameritrade. I've had no issues.

  • watcherofskies_ 𝙹𝚘𝚑𝚗 𝙺𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚣 🏡 (@watcherofskies_) reported

    Holy **** of ****, do not use the @etrade two factor authentication app. Enabled it, followed directions sent in email, doesn't work. Reset password twice (Which can only be 32 char long), still doesn't work. Click on chat support, wait time is 132 minutes. Good Lord

  • nathanielwlee Wayne (@nathanielwlee) reported

    @RyRyRitter @etrade What's the error? I'm on @etrade and I don't see an issue, unless it's lying to me that I'm down by a thousand today. I hope that's wrong but it doesn't seem to be

  • TDDOR @TDDOR (@TDDOR) reported

    @etrade What a pile of ****, wait time to talk to someone is 211 minutes!!!! **** YOU

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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).

  • LueMcclain LueMcClain (@LueMcclain) reported

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