  17550 items sold without offering any tracking.... 1.5% of my orders refunded for either "lost order" or "inventory issues". If we take out the inventory issues, about 1% of my total orders were lost in transit. With how **** USPS is, this is a believable number. Y'all gotta quit the conspiracy theory that TCGPlayer and eBay are full of scammers. Also, shipping a loose pack was likely picked up as too thick for a standard envelope by USPS and either got eaten by the machine or was lost while being sent back for more postage.

  @cab8901 @DesertLion26 @ryancohen He's had the money for years and now is pulling the trigger when it's at its most valuable. Ebay peaked during covid to its before all time high then dropped after things started opening up again. At this time GME already had 3-5 billion in the bank. Also no you acquire companies when they are down in value not at their ALL TIME HIGHS Jack. The only people who buy something at its peak value are idiots. You buy low sell high, not buy high ****.

  @MarioNawfal Iranian state media drops a missile strike claim → oil spikes to $105, S&P dips. U.S. officials deny it → things calm down. Meanwhile, corporate earnings are beating expectations and eBay is up 10% on the GME bid drama. The market can handle volatility — it just hates uncertainty from Tehran.

  NoiseToAlpha (@noisetoalpha) reported 32 minutes ago

  @KobeissiLetter The market reaction makes sense. A $ 56B offer for $EBAY would not be viewed as a normal acquisition headline for $GME. It raises a much bigger question: Is GameStop trying to become a real commerce platform, or is this another capital allocation experiment? Buying eBay would give scale, marketplace infrastructure and relevance. But it would also introduce massive integration risk, balance sheet questions and a very different operating model. For $GME, the issue is whether investors can underwrite the strategy.

  @srqbanker @rogerrogerspor1 @eBay After item arrives, and assuming it’s not rejected by, eBay Authentication it is a done deal for the seller and becomes eBay’s problem. Seller is clear of any requirements. This includes when an item is “lost” at authentication.

  @flower16305 @WatcherGuru They're choosing to shut down stores which are the least profitable. Seems to me they're attempting to jump paths from brick n' mortar buildings to online primarily. It's competition with the modern world. Amazon set the precedence now everyone else has to follow suit, or be left behind in the former world. Walmart, Target, Costco, Sams club, etc... They all offer online shopping with delivery. I'm just curious what their plan is as far as changes go with Ebay, or if they would even change anything.

  eBay jumping premarket on GameStop's takeover bid—Cohen is literally proposing to issue stock to buy a retailer 10x bigger. Meanwhile oil is ripping on Iran tension, Berkshire Abel scored well at the meeting, and Palantir got downgraded into earnings. Factory orders due at 10 and Williams speaks at 12:50.

  It was suggested to me that I should use X to get @eBay attention. As your customer service has failed in every way. You can't talk to anyone and after two whole canned messages to me, i can't appeal or even message @eBay My purchase was delivered by #Asendia to the wrong location. I am in Canada. It was delivered to GLENDALE HEIGHTS IL. But eBay looked into it and ended my case. Here are two screen shots of my evidence. It's been over a week and #Asendia hasn't got back to me either. I'm out hundreds of dollars. Please fix this!!!

  @ideologix @rawsalerts GameStop is a gaming/collectibles retailer with ~1,600 US stores and strong cash reserves. eBay is a massive global online marketplace (C2C/B2C auctions + fixed price) with 135M buyers but slow growth despite heavy marketing. GME gains eBay's infrastructure, user base, and tech to rapidly scale e-comm beyond gaming. Key synergies: $2B annual cost cuts, using stores for fulfillment/auth/live selling, and Cohen leading a broader retail push vs Amazon. It's a high-risk, high-reward transformation play.

  $GME Ryan Cohen drops their letter to EBay $125 per share. 50% cash, 50% GameStop stock. 46% premium to eBay's unaffected price. $55.5 billion aggregate equity value. TD Securities highly confident letter for up to $20 billion attached. Ryan Cohen signs it personally and offers to run the combined company for no salary, no cash bonus, no golden parachute — compensation tied entirely to performance (which is a huge W for his retail investors backing). This is a formal acquisition proposal with financing committed, regulatory filings scheduled for tomorrow, and a board unanimous behind it. The 13D and HSR notification drop in the morning. Cohen has done the legal work. This is live. The cost structure argument is the one that will be hardest for eBay's board to dismiss. eBay spent $2.4 billion on Sales and Marketing in fiscal 2025 and added one million net buyers — 134 million to 135 million. That is $2,400 per net new buyer acquired. Cohen is proposing to cut $2 billion in annualized costs within twelve months of close—$1.2 billion from Sales and Marketing, $300 million from Product Development, $500 million from G&A. The resulting EPS math — from $4.26 to $7.79 in year one on cost reductions alone — is the number that eBay's institutional shareholders will be running through their models tonight. The GameStop operational precedent is the credibility anchor. Since 2021, GameStop went from a $381 million net loss to $418 million of net income. SG&A down $800 million, 47%. Cohen has already done this once, at a company everyone said was uninvestable, in an industry everyone said was dying. He is now proposing to do it at a company with real revenue, real margins, and a cost structure that has not been seriously challenged in years. The 1,600 US retail locations as an authentication and fulfillment network for eBay's marketplace is the strategic insight that no one saw coming. eBay's core problem is trust — buyers do not know if what they are receiving is genuine, and the platform has no physical infrastructure to verify it. GameStop's stores, already staffed and already doing product authentication for gaming hardware, are a national intake and verification network that eBay cannot build from scratch for any price close to what Cohen is paying to acquire it. eBay's board has a choice. Accept the premium and the cost thesis and deliver value to shareholders. Or reject it and explain to those same shareholders why $7.79 in year one EPS is not worth pursuing. Cohen has already said he will take it directly to shareholders if the board pushes back. The 13D filing tomorrow makes that threat fully operational. This is the most interesting corporate finance story of 2026. It is also, structurally, a coherent deal. That combination does not happen often…

  GameStop is not actually buying eBay. eBay will turn the offer down. $GME wants someone else like Shopify to bid more and run the price up. $GME currently holds 22,176,000 shares of $EBAY in call options. Brilliant move. GameStop is about to make more than a billion dollars and they don’t have to buy anything. $GME is big winner here. $40-60 incoming.

  $GME - GameStop Wants eBay — Reinvention or Meme-Era Overreach? A $12B GameStop preparing a run at a roughly $46B eBay is not just M&A; it is a direct test of whether Ryan Cohen can turn internet spectacle into corporate substance. GameStop became the icon of the 2021 meme-stock craze, when retail flows turned a fading video-game retailer into a market symbol. The problem is that symbols do not compound unless they become operating businesses, and GameStop shares are still down roughly 80% from the meme-stock peak. Cohen became executive chairman in June 2023, then CEO in September, putting capital allocation, execution, and narrative under one person. That matters because Cohen has already framed a major acquisition in the only honest way possible: “genius” or “totally, totally foolish.” Why eBay is not random The lazy take is that GameStop buying eBay is absurd. The sharper take is that eBay is not your dad’s auction site anymore. It is increasingly a recommerce and enthusiast marketplace built around collectibles, trading cards, fashion, and hard-to-find goods. That overlaps directly with where GameStop has been trying to push beyond physical games, especially collectibles and cards. eBay’s latest quarter gives the bull case some teeth: revenue rose 19% to $3.1B, GMV rose 18% to $22.2B, and active buyers reached 136M. This is the asset Cohen would be trying to buy: not a dead marketplace, but a scaled platform with buyers, sellers, data, and a real reason to exist in a value-conscious consumer cycle. Where it gets ugly The deal math is the issue. A smaller company trying to buy something nearly four times its size usually means debt, stock issuance, or both, and that is where the market should get skeptical fast. If GameStop uses its meme-era valuation as currency to buy a real marketplace, that is potentially creative. If it loads the balance sheet to chase relevance, that is how reinvention turns into capital destruction. The real question is not whether eBay fits the story. It does. The question is whether Cohen can finance it without turning GameStop’s last strategic advantage — optionality — into leverage. Bottom line: eBay would not automatically make GameStop serious; disciplined structure would. Until then, this is the cleanest possible test of Cohen’s own framework: genius or totally foolish.

  @lawnmower_girl I'm still wondering where GameStop would getting the money. Haven't they been in financial trouble? As for eBay, I hadn't heard anything about their finances. So, this is all a bit of a shock 😲

  Darko Pavic (@DarkoPavic) reported 56 minutes ago

  @WSJ I do think eBay has to do something. To be honest, I am somewhat surprised that it is still as visible as it is. Its relevance seems to be decreasing, and the business feels like it has been stagnating for a long time. On the other side, GameStop also needs to act. Its competitors are very strong players, and its strategy has not really changed in a meaningful way for years. So yes, both companies need to do something if they want to stay relevant and survive. But merging these two businesses? I do not see how that would create the desired success. Two companies with relevance problems do not automatically become one relevant company just by joining forces. A merger can create size. But size is not the same as strategy. And strategy is exactly what both of them need.

  GameStop official letter sent to eBay. Ryan Cohen points out how terrible the decisions have been at the other company compared to the historical turn-around in GameStop's performance. Same tones I read in the letter to GameStop's Board and the letter to Bed, Bath, and Beyond's Board. One company took his advice, the other turned it down and went bankrupt.

  @Han_Akamatsu Problem is in order to buy Ebay, GME will need to issue new stocks which would create enormous selling pressure on GME due to the size of the acquired entity. The only difference is that Ryan will have accomplished his task of making out of GME a 50 B MC, but we will be diluted.
