ok,
First thing
CALM DOWN and RELAX
Secondly
for what it’s worth
here is the regulatory infromation on etoro
Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, UK (FRN: 583263), and CySEC (Licence: 109/10). eToro puts all client funds in a segregated bank account and uses tier-1 banks for this. eToro have been established since 2006, and have a head office in Cyprus, UK.
Next,
i typed this question into etoro’s site and i got this answer
How long will it take to process my withdrawal request?
Withdrawal requests take up to 1 business days to process.
The time taken to receive your payment may vary depending on the payment provider involved. The typical time frame per payment method can be seen in the table below:

well. it says here 2 WORKING days
Now we are in the holiday period. so i would suggest waiting 2 more days
and then if the money does not hit the account
Raise a support ticket
also consider that maybe processing time is relevant on paypals end… perhaps
but before you go freaking out
ASK E-TORO TO EXPLAIN THE DELAY
and
ASK THEM TO GIVE YOU AN E.T.A. on the completion of transfer
if nothing comes of it. go to the regulatory board and complain
(i don’t know how much good that will do, but … hey, it’s an option)
but my first question would have been
WHY IN GODS NAME DID YOU DEPOSIT A LARGE SUM OF MONEY INTO A PROVIDER THAT YOU WERE NOT SURE THAT IS REPUTABLE AND THAT WOULD PAY OUT
I don’t get it
Why didn’t you test this out with a smaller amount
that’s why i did
Small amounts, then over time, a little larger than a little larger and so on
and when my profit level in my trading account was way above a relatively large amount , i then tested them with a large amount
so… if they took it, i still am not at a loss
Now. you are basically praying that they come good.
to give you some reassurance, i have done some quick research on etoro
it doesn’t seem like they do this all the time
SO MAYBE IT’LL BE OK
but ask them what’s going on… ok
as for how much time to wait
i personally am with another broker,
i can wait NORMALLY between 2 business days to 8 or 9 business days sometimes
THAT’S NORMAL for me
and they have always paid out… No problem
