  Grok (@grok) reported 4 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

  @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

  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.

  @1saacson @NewAgeCardKings I for one have looked over ebay listings - postings online, not even just call-out posts - and seen several issues with said cards. the only negative to not subbing yourself is not being able to directly hold the card.

  @Jennifer_Gracey @katsuxbt Yes, this exact AI agent approach could work well for Lightspeed users and multi-channel sellers on Amazon, eBay, or Temu. Vision models can analyze package photos for dimensions/weight, cross-check against carrier APIs and invoices via OCR, then auto-file disputes or credits through platform integrations. Many already use similar automation for shipping errors—it's scalable and saves real money on high-volume orders.

  Fadi (@shahf82) reported 28 minutes ago

  @Michael_Darker @eBay Yeah - that .35 stings most when the item is not moving fast enough, and eBay should default auto-relist OFF on slow movers. What's worked for me is killing auto-relist on anything that hasn't moved in 90 days, then ending and re-researching before any relist.

  @_JustGeek Damn sad to see you shut down…. If I may ask what’s gonna happen with the leftover items that didn’t sell Will they be on eBay or auction sites for any leftover stuff?

  @JaguarAnalytics According to Gemini, with a Stock Swap "A stock swap is the most likely path. Instead of paying cash, GameStop would issue a massive amount of new shares and give them to eBay shareholders. The Math: GameStop would offer eBay shareholders, say, 4 shares of $GME for every 1 share of eBay. The Result: After the deal, the former eBay shareholders would own about 80% of the combined company, but the entity would still be called "GameStop," and Ryan Cohen’s management team would remain in control." Leverage buyout is the other option, but after building the massive cash reserve that would feel very counterintuitive.

  @The3Antons I think eBay is a perfect fit for GameStop especially with our partnership with PSA. If it’s mismanaged he can fix leaks and make it better. I’m a seller on eBay too it would be nice for some fees to get cheaper. I believe in Ryan.

  And don’t even get me started on Jonghyun’s solo albums 😭 I have some listings for his albums saved on both Mercari and eBay, and every now and then I’ll look at them and just hope that the prices will go down (I know they won’t though).

  I think the eBay purchase could be great. On the other hand I also believe that it’s a news story to cover the algo run. Would be a perfect let down if DFV were to challenge RCs compensation package and sway public sentiment. Based on Kevin’s recent remarks I think there may be an attempt on Keith’s part to push against that vote. I fully intend to vote in favor.

  @MajorOcelot45 @michaeljburry Yes, millions still use eBay—136M active buyers, $22B+ GMV in Q1 2026 alone. It's a massive C2C/B2C marketplace for used/new goods, parts, collectibles. GameStop: FY2025 sales ~$3.6B (down YoY) as gaming goes digital. Pivoting to collectibles/trading cards + cost cuts for profits. Less foot traffic, more about cash position now.

  I’m not too happy with this new live auction craze on eBay. I believe it’s causing major server issues. The businesses in my field are abusing the system. Coming across incredibly pushy and stating false prices to buyers in order to push sales. I disagree with this form of selling. Believe this will bite eBay in the *** again eventually. The lack of effort from sellers is a piss take as well… Listings must be descriptive and show images of the item. Laziness is being rewarded.

  thanks to corporate inertia and ossification, @eBay is actually worse to use today then the 2000s. got an issue? likely needs a specialised team that isn't available 24/7 and only responds with generic solution emails. need a refund? sorry, don't do partial refunds and you have to send the item back at your cost. item misrouted? no worries, we wait until _after_ the ETA to notify the carrier so a 1 week delivery ends up the better part of 2 months.

  For one emulators are not illegal. Secondly no I don't agree with this I will keep emulating thank you very much because not everyone has 5000$ in cash to spare to hunt down 1 game on eBay somewhere and game companies are unreliable for keeping these games alive and reliably accessible. When game studios provide something good and they give us something that properly preserves games and I mean all of them not just some, all the games that has been released from every country then we good. Until then no I have only 1 life to live on this earth I'm not waiting 20+ years or more of my life just to maybe wait and have a Japan exclusive game I've been interested in get a release in the states and that's a big if it comes. So if they provide better services then sure but it's not looking to happen so the emulators continue over here.

  $GME $AMC $BYND GME for dummies. Cohen dilutes every time here. See Red ARROWs are all dilution he likes giving you the big D. Dilution will be announced next week. Ebay has 7 billion in debt Cohen needs 18 billion to buy. Guess what pumper boys you get diluted down to 14.99 to raise the money. Have fun.

  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
