E*TRADE supports buying and selling ETFs online like stocks. Their own materials highlight ETF availability and the ability to trade ETFs on the platform. (us.etrade.com)
As with any broker, what matters most day-to-day is costs (commissions, spreads), order tools (limit/stop orders), and any ETF screeners or research features you rely on.
Extra paragraph: even with "$0 commission" trading, you still want to watch the bid/ask spread and liquidity. A thinly traded ETF can cost you more in spread than you'd ever pay in commission. If you're buying a niche ETF, consider trading during the most liquid part of the day and using limit orders.
