  @bkj_brad @yanxchick The fake card problem is honestly why I'm skeptical of eBay for anything graded. Between fake PSA certs and people pulling bait-and-switch on auctions, it's playing roulette with your money. Sellers eat 15% fees and still get burned by buyers sending empty boxes back.

  The EBay story that nobody is talking about: -GME is down 19% since Cohen embarrassed himself on CNBC -The Math only works if he dilutes GME shareholders by 60+% -Closed at 21.61 today, with single digit downside in the horizon My Opinion: RC = grifting conman

  @sagelovebars During Covid, when everything shut down, I bought used on eBay and built a very usable gym at home for under $500. I don't have to drive to a gym. I don't have to wait on other people. I don't have to deal with gym camera bunnies. I get to lift, on my schedule. Total win.

  Nobody’s going to believe me but I’ve worn one of these gloves before One of the old guys from the church my dad was preaching at had it in the family and after his wife died and he was winding down he wanted to sell it. Brought it to my dad to see if he would eBay it for him

  @ryancohen I just read that post and it resonated with me. I used to sell on eBay in the early 2000’s. I’ve completely stopped. I just logged in to my old account which is still active. The fact that I used to use it a ton, I even had an ebay store, and have not logged in for a decade is indicative of a problem with eBay. By the way I know it’s somewhat unrelated, but PayPal has brutal customer service. I just wasted an hour on the phone with them this evening.

  @Furu_Bartuc @eBay I dug through the actual DEF 14A filing. The 4/20/26 record date is tied to the June annual meeting already on the books - directors, compensation, auditors, etc. There’s no merger vote listed in the proxy materials right now. If this moves forward formally, they’d likely issue a separate proxy and new record date.

  GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen Pushes Forward After eBay Rejects $56 Billion Bid eBay's board turned down GameStop's unsolicited $56 billion offer, citing doubts over financing, valuation, and merger risks, despite the bid's 46% premium over eBay's February price. Cohen, who holds a 5% stake through shares and derivatives, highlighted GameStop's shift from big losses to $130 million quarterly profits since he took over in 2023, backed by nearly $9 billion in cash and a confident debt letter. Retail investors cheered Cohen on, while he eyes synergies like using GameStop's 1,600 stores for eBay's collectibles and hints at rallying eBay's owners next. $EBAY $GME

  $GME My 2 cents about GME buying eBay. 50% cash 50% stock. If GME market cap $10B and Ebay's $40B, so it's 20/80 split, but as GME pays out 50% cash it bring us to 80/2 = 40%, so in the end 60/40. 60% GME shareholders and 40% eBay's in the new company. The stock portion is $27.75B (half of the $125 offer). Case 1 (basic): GME has 450000000 shares outstanding. To keep the 60/40 split GME need to issue 300000000 new shares to the eBay shareholders. $27.75B / 300000000 = $92.50 implied issuance price. Total after deal = 750000000 shares. This gives the NEW company $69.375B market cap and share price after deal = $92.50. Case 2 (diluted): Including the 144000000 Senior Convertible Notes + 59000000 Warrants = 651000000 total GME fully diluted shares. To keep the same 60/40 split GME needs to issue 434000000 new shares to eBay's people. $27.75B / 434000000 = ~$63.94 implied issuance price. Total after = 1085000000 shares. This gives the NEW company $69.375B market cap and share price = ~$63.94.

  @alphafox I pretty loyal to eBay. I’ve got all my computers, motorcycle parts, and any expensive electronic there. I’ve had a few issues selling… but selling things in general sucks.

  @APompliano @ryancohen Ebay is a terrible company it absolutely takes advantage of sellers and allows 1000s of phony products to be sold. I have spoken to insiders and they said it's insane what really goes on within the company. I would not be surprised if some big news comes out about them.

  Nicholas A. Pantano (@npantano_) reported 31 minutes ago

  @TheMagnifishit @THIS_TIME_X I 100% agree with you. My counter and entire point, is the scenario Cohen is drawing up only works if Ebay agrees he can bring them a ton of company value post merger. Because they are essentially bending the knee if the stock portion was post merger derived. And they turned him down, so it looks like they don’t believe he can bring that value right? So I’m just letting people know the reading the initial on paper proposal he doesn’t have the funds today.

  @alphafox @jo42993661 I started using @mercari_app in 2018. It's better and safer than eBay still, but I have slowly watched it turn and head down the same path. Fees rising, required promotions etc. I'm expecting by 2030 it will be just like eBay.

  IMAYSELLIT (@imaysellit) reported 32 minutes ago

  @MrJdotETH @ryancohen Scammers and bad sellers are the biggest problem on eBay right now. The hope is GameStop's ownership would actually prioritize trust over fee extraction. A marketplace that vets sellers and takes a cut only on closed deals would solve both problems at once.

  GME DaLoot (@gmeorbust0) reported 37 minutes ago

  @unusual_whales @SwamiKnows_ Lets be honest here, ebay hasnt advanced to the new digital age, they are stuck in 1990’s. Spending billions of $ and gaining only 1m new customers is terrible, doing stock buybacks with profits from raising sellers (customers) fees is a losing battle. Sellera will leave.

  picstoral (@picstoral) reported 37 minutes ago

  Feeling down enough, then a (eBay) return cancelled out the profit I made from the buyer who bought three items (same one who bought an item I couldn't find). I write detailed descriptions, no AI for me. Color, shape, size, a brief history if I know it. That piece of jewelry that was returned was expensive for its size. Yet despite the detail the buyer "just didn't like it" and it was "too small". Now I'm worried that it will happen again. Like I said I'm just a small time seller on SSDI & can't absorb that much of a return like big sellers can.

  @supertoaster @ruedaoj @ryancohen Is he tho? Ebay shot him down and have defensive measures they can deploy in a hostile take over attempt. Doesn't seem feasible. Dude is all shadows, smoke and mirrors. Is he retarded or crazy like a fox? If he doesn't get ebay he jestermaxxed to the extreme.

  Angela Beegle (aka chotii) ☕ (@chotiari) reported 47 minutes ago

  @alt_w_v_g @soylentbeige I've been selling on eBay for 20 years. Recently, I had some sales that I could not follow through one. In one case an item had gotten broken in storage, in another I simply couldn't find it. I let the buyers know I canceled the sales. The buyers were fine with it. But eBay's algorithm punishes me. My fees are 30% higher and my visibility is down. I've been threatened that if I don't improve my transaction defect rate, I may be banned. But since my visibility has been throttled, people can't find me. And I can't force people to buy, especially if they can't even find me. I literally have no way to improve my transaction, defect rate except by making sales without any errors. And I can't make sales. Congratulations eBay, you may be driving me off after 20 years

  Ryan Cohen publicly calling eBay's management losers while sitting on a 5% stake is not a random outburst. That's how activist investors announce they're about to make someone's life difficult. eBay has been coasting on a brand that peaked in 2005 while Amazon and every vertical marketplace ate their lunch for two decades. Cohen isn't wrong about the execution. Whether he's the guy to fix it is a different question.

  @KaiXCreator 16gb - 24gb range. You don’t need an expensive machine to code. Install your coding assistant on a remote server. Have all your skills/tools/assets remote. This server shouldn’t be expensive either. Look on eBay, cheap HP i5 / i7 32gb (less that £150) You don’t need a powerful machine to use terminal!

  @Stonkfather2021 The problem with your maths is as soon as they start buying billions worth of shares... its going to drive the price of Ebay up significantly per share also majority of eBay shares are held by institutions.
