Still seeing newcomers ask why you can't transfer $$GME out of eToro. Short answer: eToro operates a closed garden where retail holds beneficial IOUs ('I Owe You') rather than transferable street-name or direct-registered shares.
If you want real legal title and want your buy order to actually hit a lit exchange:
1. Open a cash account at Fidelity (disable share lending).
2. Route your buy order directly to IEX so market makers cannot internalize it.
3. Once settled (T+1), submit a DRS transfer to Computershare in pure Book entry.
Zero synthetic locates, zero forced stop-losses, 100% in your legal name.

Did my latest batch of 40 $$GME shares through IBKR -> Computershare last week. Cost $5 and settled in 3 business days.
Notice how quiet the shills get whenever someone explains the difference between an eToro IOU and a Computershare Book entry.
