I've been shorting Ethereum on eToro... Not sure if you can see the page without an account.
It's supereasy to use but they have a 2% spread. Was looking for a place that has a lower spread. I found eToro through this page originally, they got a referral offer thingy too: https://bizbeginner.com/2017/07/06/etoro/
What's weird on eToro is that they show what other people are doing... 99% is always buying for Ethereum. During the big crash last week it was still 98%. While the SP500 is 70% buying 30% shorting. People make posts too... they're idiots. All of them. But the site is easy to use and I can just use the app to set a sell or buy order really quickly, so I'm happy... They don't have order/overnight fees for Ethereum either because there's no market hours
I haven't used Poloniex before, how is that one? I hold/short for just a few days at a time usually and want to be able to place an order within seconds... with a smaller spread I could also close my positions faster, I just take 1-3% gain on each trade. Jeezes, without the 2% spread I'd have double my gains now...
