  @business GameStop’s proposal is a large, cash-and-stock offer for eBay, but analysts have questioned the financing, the fit between the two businesses, and whether the promised synergies are realistic . Intertek, meanwhile, has already turned down EQT’s approach once on valuation grounds, and the latest reporting suggests the board still thinks the offer undervalues the company

  Ryan Cohen cannot afford Ebay today with GME’s stock price at $24 today. 📚 Check GameStop's investor site or SEC EDGAR for the 425/8-K exhibits (offer letter, presentation). It states (which he doubled down in the Charles Payne interview) that he will offset dilution with higher earnings performance. “Good dilution it was called.” It’s still DILUTION OF GME COMMON to afford Ebay on the stock side. He either needs: -A restructured deal allowing for more cash 70%/30% (third party possibly) or other parameters currently unknown. -GME to $50-60 so he can sell new shares of dilution at a higher value to current Ebay holders. -More debt considerations to afford Ebay. $GME There is nowhere in this proposal that says he can use the future combined price of GME/EBAY to afford EBAY. That’s the same logic as Ebay diluting itself to pay for itself. Delusional.

  @ebay is doing just fine without @ryancohen and his $GME dilution scam. Look at $GME. It's down 50% in 5 years. Who the hell wants that garbage?

  $GME is down almost 5% in a day, and @ryancohen still wants to buy $EBAY. GameStop’s revenue over the last year has been practically negative, yet its CEO says it can make eBay a better business.

  @ReclaimTheNetHQ WHEN they set this up, it was SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SELLERS, now they are putting it on CONSUMERS, and I think I AM GOING TO TURN THEM IN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I have BOUGHT thousands from them, and if they want to accuse me of FRAUD, they can take their damn Amazon account, and SHOVE IT!!! It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). The INFORM Consumers Act (full name: Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act) is a U.S. federal law passed in 2022 as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. It took effect on June 27, 2023. Main Purpose The law aims to increase transparency on online marketplaces (like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, etc.) to protect consumers from counterfeit, stolen, or unsafe goods sold by third-party sellers. It makes it harder for fraudulent sellers to hide their identities. Who It Applies ToOnline marketplaces operating in the U.S. that allow third-party sellers. High-volume third-party sellers: Those with 200+ separate sales and $5,000+ in gross revenue in any continuous 12-month period within the past 24 months. Small or low-volume sellers are generally exempt .Key Requirements Marketplaces like Amazon must: Collect and verify specific information from high-volume sellers: Government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport). Bank account details. Tax ID (e.g., SSN for individuals or EIN for businesses). Contact info (phone, email, business address). Disclose some seller information to buyers (e.g., name, address, contact details for qualifying high-volume sellers). Suspend sellers who don't comply or provide false info. Provide a way for consumers to report suspicious activity. Re-verify information annually (or when it changes). Penalties for non-compliant marketplaces: Up to ~$53,000 per violation (enforced by the FTC and states). Why Amazon (and Others) Ask for ID/VerificationThis is exactly why you might see Amazon prompting for government ID upload or other details during account issues, lockouts, or routine checks. It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). Amazon has been actively enforcing this since 2023, with annual certifications required.

  GameStop publicly proposed to buy 100% of eBay for $125 per share (about $55.5 billion total equity value). This is a 46% premium to eBay's price before GameStop started buying a 5% stake in February 2026. The offer breaks down as: 50% cash ($62.50 per eBay share) 50% GameStop common stock ($62.50 per eBay share, with full election rights so eBay shareholders can choose more cash or more stock, subject to pro-rata limits) Cash portion funding (the part that actually requires "money"): GameStop already has $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments on its balance sheet (as of Jan 31, 2026). It has a "highly confident" financing letter from TD Securities for up to $20 billion in third-party debt/acquisition financing. That covers most of the cash needed ($27–28 billion total cash outlay). The rest would come from the mix of cash/stock elections. Stock portion (this is the "using eBay equity" part the poster is mocking): GameStop will issue new shares of its own stock to eBay shareholders. eBay shareholders aren't just selling out for cash, they swap their eBay shares for cash + ownership in the combined GameStop + eBay company. In effect, they keep a stake in eBay's future value, but now through GameStop stock (since GameStop would own eBay outright). This is a standard cash-and-stock merger structure. It's not "using eBay's stock" in the sense of GameStop magically grabbing existing eBay shares it doesn't own. It's using the equity value of eBay itself as part of the purchase price. Former eBay owners get to participate in the upside of the larger company (which the market may value higher due to synergies, scale, etc.). Simple analogy (from meme-stock community explanations) Think of it like this: Owner of Company Orange (GameStop, smaller market cap) wants to buy Company Apple (eBay, larger). Instead of paying 100% cash, Orange offers: Half cash (from Orange's pocket + borrowed money) Half ownership in "Orange + Apple" (a much bigger combined company). Apple owners get some immediate cash plus they now own part of the bigger entity that still includes all of Apple's value. Orange shareholders get diluted (more shares exist), but the total pie grows dramatically from $11B (GME) to $55–58B combined. That's why Cohen says "half cash, half stock" repeatedly, the stock issuance doesn't require GameStop to raise another $28 billion in cash; it transfers ownership stakes instead. Why critics call it "using eBay's money and equity" The math only closes because eBay shareholders are effectively financing part of their own sale by accepting GME stock in the combined entity. Some analysts have pointed out a potential "$14 billion hole" depending on how the market prices the post-deal company and how much stock actually gets issued. Cohen's interview came across as evasive to some because he didn't walk through the dilution math live, he just kept saying "details on the website." Bottom line: This isn't some impossible or fraudulent scheme. It's a classic leveraged buyout + stock-swap acquisition that smaller companies use to buy larger ones all the time (with debt + equity issuance). Whether it actually happens depends on eBay's board/shareholders accepting (or GameStop going hostile), regulatory approval, and market reaction. GameStop has already filed the required 13D and HSR notices.frustration seems to stem from skepticism about the financing realism and Ryan Cohen's style common in meme-stock circles where GME moves are watched intensely. But mechanically, it's straightforward corporate finance. @ryancohen I've got your back bro.

  @deepakshenoy I think you're being generous in interpretation. GameStop's estimated EBITDA for 2027 is $469 million. It's debt on books is $4 Bn. TD Bank is offering to give them $20Bn against eBay, not Gamestop. So it's a leveraged buyout. Next, the stock portion. To issue, $28 Bn of new stock, they'd have to issue 1Bn+ new shares (as per current closing price). They have 448 million shares outstanding. So, absolutely SUBSTANTIAL dilution. And here the acquirer's shareholders will vote too because it's small fish acquiring big fish. Plus, is the proposal to issue common stock after the acquisition? But then, this wouldn't be GameStop stock would it? It would be eBay stock

  @ValueAddedRS The problem is we can’t bake it in the price if we do it as an auction, unless we add a handling fee. But then buyers complain if you do that. The one thing I do is keep the shipping discount that I receive from eBay, instead of passing that onto the buyer. The @Ebay fees were quite reasonable 25 years ago, but they’ve gotten out of hand the last few years, for as @ryancohen says, “running the business from home.” :)

  @ryancohen I’ve been a seller on eBay for 8 years now and there are absolutely some things you can fix! If you can cut some costs it would be nice to drop those 13% seller fees back down to something understandable. Lowering the fees will bring in more sellers instead of looking elsewhere.

  Hi @Shripriya - Since you are a board member of eBay, I wanted to share some concerning feedback. I consistently have people purchase higher value my cards whether it’s an Auction or Buy It Now, and immediately request a cancellation within minutes of the purchase. This is happens because the item will show under sold items, regardless of refund. It creates the perception of high comps. There’s been multiple occasions when I did not receive a refund of seller fees and/or promoted listed fees although the cancellation alert says that I will. Some have also be refunded as well. The one rare occasion when I was able to get a hold of Customer Support, they stated it was a known bug — that was months ago. Now, it’s impossible to get a hold of CS because eBay only offers the Help and FAQ page now. This is especially damaging for auctions because there are other people who bid on the card. I sold nearly $50,000 in cards last year and I’m ranked a Top Rated seller. Beyond the archaic platform having issues, I’m disappointed that I don’t have a way to contact a human when needed. I’m more concerned about the integrity of the platform since cards that are refunded still shown as sold. I’ve also had promoted listings get $0 votes, but I still end up being charged. Does eBay still count that as revenue? The card hobby brings me joy, but a bad experience such as this takes away from it Since I can’t get a hold of anyone, should I just reach out to @ryancohen since he’s more committed to the success of the business than eBay’s own exec team? I’ll bring receipts to show that this is factual. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Steamy Regards, Dean

  Dean Gillberry (@FartieFrenchie) reported 55 minutes ago

  @ryancohen @natsturner One of the big challenges on eBay right now is people will purchase a card, and immediately request to cancel it. This happens because the card will still show as “sold”, so it inflates the comp prices even if you refund the card. It also doesn’t show the actual sale price if you accept a lower offer. Sometimes there is a “system error,” and the seller fees aren’t automatically refunded, even when the buyer is the one that cancels. I’ve lost out on countless fees because it’s such a hassle to go through support. This only happens with sports cards for the most part. A credit card should be on file there should be auto pay to prevent this. The example below just happened today, and is the 3rd time this week a high value card has been cancelled. @eBay Are you going to step up to the plate and make improvements, or do I need to pull my listings and start selling my cards to eBay?
