hunter (@hunterlanier) reportedNobody’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

DataAndFinance (@EmotionMarkets) reported@unusual_whales Ryan Cohen calling $EBAY “run by losers” is funny. But structurally, it also matters. The deal is not dead, but it has clearly moved from normal M&A into hostile-pressure territory. eBay already rejected the bid as “neither credible nor attractive,” and the financing gap is still the biggest practical problem. That makes the $GME setup less about whether the takeover is likely tomorrow, and more about whether the crowd can keep the pressure organized. SETA is seeing that pressure return: $GME narrative coherence has rebuilt to 0.276, with the tape lifting around “ebay rejects,” “takeover,” and “credible attractive.” So the read is: Low probability clean deal. High-friction hostile campaign. Live squeeze risk if the M&A narrative keeps cohering.

Canadian3DPrinting (@Canadian3DPrint) reported@alt_w_v_g EBay is a dumpster fire. They openly let buyers scam sellers by letting them say they didn’t receive an item and automatically reimburse the buyer from the sellers account. I shut it down a few years ago now. Scammers everywhere

TonguesOutGlassArt (@boroartgroyper) reported@2ray_degenemax @ahiychmpsm eBay is likely the least headache, but assume it will be opened by customs. If you have a bunch of trouble finding a good source I’ll happily hit a 7-11 and send you the whole line up, but private shipping is $$$ corporate is $, so eBay will probably be cheaper

Bhanu D — sys/acc (@iBhanuDahiya) reportedThe unspoken 11 step pipeline of a "quick" Home Lab media server upgrade: 1. Notice a 3 second buffer on a local 4K stream. 2. Blame the OS. Decide to migrate to a bare metal Proxmox VE cluster. 3. Buy three refurbished Dell PowerEdge servers off eBay at 2 AM. 4. Hire an electrician to install a dedicated 30 amp circuit in the utility closet. 5. Spend an entire weekend configuring a Ceph storage pool for high availability. 6. Containerize the media stack using custom Kubernetes Helm charts. 7. Deploy Traefik reverse proxy with Wildcard Let's Encrypt via Cloudflare DNS challenge. 8. Spin up Prometheus and Grafana to monitor individual P core temps. 9. Route cluster failure alerts directly to your personal PagerDuty app. 10. Complete the migration after spending $2,800 and burning two weeks of PTO. 11. Watch your partner stream exactly one compressed 720p episode of Friends before falling asleep 6 minutes in.

Simon (@GMOSALMON99) reported@npantano_ @idiosyncraticr7 The terrible news will be we own 10%+ of ebay and are up 500 million on the calls. I was planning to sell my June contracts this week but they absolutely scammed ******** out of gme this week.

Brett Boyer 🇺🇸 (@BrettHBoyer) reported.@ryancohen exposed @ebay’s management as lazy corporate leeches. It’s a shame to watch an internet pioneer get dragged down by old Wall Street tactics. $GME $EBAY

Jon Waldman (@jonwaldman) reported@wemby210 @CardPurchaser The eBay problem is shipping often makes up for shortfall in expected sale.

Las Vegas Ape🦍 (@lasvegas_ape) reportedBREAKING: GameStop is holding millions of dollars of eBay calls that are up many millions of dollars. Possibly hundreds of millions. $GME stonk down 18% on the news of this windfall. LOL. Keep the FUD coming idiots. Apes don't give a single f@ck. TICKTOCKHEDGIE🦍🦍🦍#GME

JosephGMECobraKai (@JosephCobraKai) reported@ryancohen Fix this Ryan. Enough is enough of loser leadership at eBay.

NonMundane (@n0nmundan3) reportedOk, this is a warning about @ebay Now they will lie to you in many ways. One of the most important ways is any way in which they will claim to empower you as a seller, but actually will punish you for being a problem. They have something called "defects" and they can't WAIT to

Scott Sleepy (@scott_sleepy) reported@Kaaroth @mikee_degen I have two thoughts on this: eBay is 99% institutional owned (or 89% institutional with a 10% insider who is likely hostile), and tender offers are actually even more challenging in these dominations. It’s extremely rare that institutions participate in tender offers or voice support for activist campaigns. This makes a tender offer right now extremely, extremely challenging. Point 2: I actually think we get a huge market crash immediately in 2027, right after midterms. In the scenario where the market tanks, eBay is down >40%, Ryan keeps the $125 offer on the table, and the board has received bad press for 6+ months that is tarnishing their reputation - they are effectively forced to sell the company at that point. And in this scenario, if they don’t sell, a tender offer has a much higher chance of success. This is imo a high success chance outcome that is in a realistic timeline. Just wanted to pass along my two cents, I did a lot of research and brainstorming with grok on tender offers, and this is the scenario where it can succeed. Going to a tender offer though in a couple month when the share price is around $110 and the board is still hostile? Surprisingly that has historically a very low chance of success

Nicholas A. Pantano (@npantano_) reported@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.

🕉️ H.L. Mencken (Hersir Lotus) 🕉️ (@HenryLuMencken) reportedOk after two weeks of using the @eBay app i must admit…it is dogshit. This thing goes down three times a ******* day.

Chris (@Hellobro69420) reported@to_earth_1 @Polymarket Yes. Ebay needs new owners to fix this ****!

Silent_Stevie 🏴 Dieu et mon droit (@Silent_Stevie) reported@celtic_jaime Love em, my grandad used to keep his nuts screws bolts everything in them. I’ve kept the ones that were handed down to me and surprised to see they sell for a small fortune on eBay. Brings back memories of better times and a happier England..

Pokemaam (@poke_maam) reportedSellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

HelpfulMilk (@HelpfulMilk546) reportedHow are we gonna let @TheRoaringKitty get away with this gme makes money on their initial eBay stake and he gets a good price of gme as it keeps going down! Hes getting more for less!
-
Jack Dillard (@Kraven1776) reported@ValueAddedRS Hey Liz. Have you considered that eBay was just a valuation trap? Ryan used eBay to officially validated GameStops $20billion TD letter as legitimate by turning down the offer. So in public’s eyes ryan has $20 billion plus $9 billion. He’s buying the DK Buyterfly Inc shell.

AwakeNotWoke (@AddisonJK) reported@Byerocm @KillaKreww Yes, but a fair offer would be at least 1/2 the value of a collectible. There’s a MASSIVE market for these cards, which means they’re fairly liquid. It’s not like it was something that would take up space in his retail shop. He could’ve instantly posted it to eBay and set a reserve at $2500+. He KNOWINGLY offered her less than 10% of the value of ONE card for the whole collection. Then acted like he’s doing her a favor and has sympathy after he thought her son died? Sir, if you don’t see the issue here, then you need to reexamine your moral compass

Wu7chamber (@wu7chamber) reported@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.

Jay Bee (@Mordin04) reported@Alyssandriaaa @TCGplayer I stopped using TCGplayer last year after eBay shut down their Syracuse facility.

Ardiz (@ARDIZsq) reported@Pirat_Nation “The physical disc would likely stop working afterword.” Cool, so make a digital copy, ruin the physical release entirely, now you can either scam on eBay or have a working copy and charge 20x the price, making piracy a bigger issue than ever before. Brilliant…

SHFButtRammer (@shfbuttrammer) reported@userofintellect All he needs to do is say... "Nevermind about eBay we're gonna do a buy back down here at $20" and gme is going to instantly turn into the ******* Terminator

Marianne Parenteau (@marieparenteau4) reported@bensonsamelia The problem is also the app because eBay you get the items only when you’re the one who gives the most money so theyre only selling there since they can make so much out of an item it’s so unfair tbh because my country didn’t have access to it I should pay crazy amount to get it?
