  @Peakjebz One thing I’ll say with eBay…..you can actually trust the seller ratings, as a seller on there since 2010 I can assure you that EBay sides with the buyer 1000000% of the time, sellers will not try any risks. If they do accounts get shut down, trust their rating.

  @chieftrades1 @kunal00 You do realize the market cap isn’t the sale price right? A business like eBay would require a buyout premium 20-40% higher than its current value. This is impossible. Also you can’t “put down 20%” because your “lender” of 50B+ would be stuck with a business that only makes a 2B/yr

  If any claim could convince me that an "Iraqi Hacker Group" is nothing of the sort it's the idea that eBay is somehow critical to an illegal US War effort. Not sure who's attacking Ubuntu but it's not revenge for killing the Ayatollah. I'll put $5 down on Ukraine, given timing.

  @AANCollect @novaxnomask @michaelrubin Man, this is not a ten lmao. I spent the day sliding down waterfalls I promise I’m not angry. Just calling a spade a spade. eBay is its own business that’s been around forever and that’s all they do. Fanatics is obviously intent on creating a monopoly. Monopolies are not good for consumers. You’re acting like they’re in your pocket.

  @KobeissiLetter Why? GameStop wants to shut down your ability to sell your games cheap online. Once they shut down eBay, they can command used game prices. It’s their #1 competitor. If you can’t beat them, buy them.

  @zerohedge Not Amazon tells you the whole story. This isn’t scale. It’s financial engineering in a meme stock costume. Buying eBay doesn’t fix GameStop’s identity crisis, it just makes the confusion bigger.

  @zerohedge GameStop acquiring eBay would be a wild full-circle moment (retailer buys marketplace) but Amazon doesn't need eBay's junk inventory problem. The real arbitrage is eBay's $3B cash hoard and collectors' moat—not competing with AWS or logistics. $GME gets a reve

  @realBergandine @pubity GameStop's fiscal 2025 revenue (ended Jan 2026) was $3.63 billion, down 5% YoY. They reported $418M net income and hold ~$9B in cash/marketable securities. A $12B eBay deal would be massive relative to their size—possible with cash + stock/debt raises, but it'd require heavy dilution or more financing and isn't a simple "afford" given scale differences.

  @JZard69 @ImliterallyETH I wholeheartedly disagree and this card show seems to think the same, along with a ton of other patrons. I make deals on Facebook all the time, and look for eBay listings that are accepting offers. Quit feeding the issue of scalping.

  @bigbridealguy you are down 20% on a card the second you buy it if you rely on ebay to sell it. It's just not practical.

  @MoneyPrinter @Pregory1 It would be hard to own more than 1/3 of it, which they would need to to only need to issue the 400m shares in Weeds example. Think of it from the eBay shareholders side. They need to get $120 per share (2 gme shares + $60) - the $9b in cash only gets $30, the rest has to come from somewhere too.

  @Skullnbonz3 @eBay Correct. It’s nice to know some people understand these things. He also contacted me saying he was going to cancel it after I mailed it because he found one cheaper. I knew he was going to be an issue.

  @GodsBurnt They said GameStop was DEAD. They shorted it into the ground. Then GameStop acquired eBay. The most shorted stock on earth just turned into a loaded gun. The shorts haven’t figured out what just happened yet. 2021 was a glitch. This is the sequel nobody saw coming.

  @swmartin19 if you buy ebay, you now own ebay + gamestop so you can go out and borrow $46 billion because lenders know that you will own ebay and its cash flows, which you can use to pay the loan itself they're loaning money against the asset GME is buying (kind of like buying a house) if the cash flows don't support the full loan, you can issue new shares against the organization or use more cash

  @lmilsfsd @TeladocHub @wallstreetbets GameStop (mkt cap ~$12B) could acquire eBay (~$46B) mainly via an all-stock deal: issue new GME shares to eBay holders at a 20-40% premium. This heavily dilutes existing GME owners (they'd likely own ~20-25% of the combined ~$60B entity). GME's cash reserves and debt capacity could fund part of it, but stock dominates. Plausible terms: exchange ratio of ~1.8-2.2 GME shares per eBay share (based on recent prices), or mixed cash/stock with a collar. Cohen has built a stake and could go hostile/direct to shareholders if rejected. Purely speculative per WSJ reports.

  In 2006, an Australian citizen listed the entire country of "New Zealand" for sale on the auction site eBay. The bidding started at just $0.01. ​The Twist: Surprisingly, the bids reached $3,000 before the site intervened and shut down the auction. The New Zealand government was not pleased, but the story eventually became a long-standing diplomatic joke between the two countries.

  Hey @gamestop don't buy ebay. Just lean into the online store and fix your physical locations. Get rid of 75% of the merch and sell it online, use that space for magic night, Warhammer, other board games/card games and tournaments. Bring back comics. Have a snack and drink vending machine in each store if not in a mall or right next to a fast food restaurant. Also have Lan party nights rotating out games every week. Mario kart, tekken, mortal kombat, COD's, Halo. Keep it console centered. Guarantee you'd increase profit by 300% within 4 months.

  If you're having trouble selling $1-3 cards on ebay, maybe consider your $5+ shipping cost. 🤓😳

  the $GME meme stock arc was supposed to end with retail holding the bag and a slow fade back to fundamentals. instead we have a $9B cash bid for ebay. - gamestop has been quietly building a stake in ebay for months ahead of a formal bid, per the WSJ report - gamestop ended last quarter with ~$9B in cash and investments, nearly double a year ago. funded mostly by $4.2B in convertible notes issued during meme stock rallies plus $597M in free cash flow - ryan cohen telegraphed this on CNBC in january, calling it "transformational for capital markets," which is a wild thing to say out loud months before actually doing it - the strategic logic actually works. gamestop pivoted hard into collectibles (pokemon cards, sports cards, comics). ebay's collectibles vertical does billions in GMV. there's real overlap, not just financial engineering - the math is the hard part. $9B in cash plus an existing stake doesn't get you a $40B+ company. cohen would need a major premium and massive financing, or a stock-heavy structure that depends on GME shares holding up after announcement - this isn't normal M&A. usually the bigger company buys the smaller one. here a meme stock used peak-euphoria dilution to build a war chest specifically to flip into a real strategic deal years later. cohen's chewy playbook scaled up - ebay popped 9% on the report, GME up 3%. the market is pricing this as ebay-favorable, which tells you something about who they think gets the better end of any deal that actually closes

  @thisisorlando Ebay is going down slowly, they need to fire the whole board and save the platform.
