  @unusual_whales as someone who actually sells on eBay daily, the real lever isn't user count, it's seller experience. fix the friction sellers deal with every day and the GMV scales naturally. cohen seems to get that, $2B in cuts is the easy part

  Here's a recap of the past seven days in $GME Friday - WSJ "leak" the rumour about GameStop acquiring eBay post market Monday - Rumour is confirmed to be true, GameStop issue a press release and the stocks react, $GME down 10% and eBay rises. Ryan Cohen has a hostile interview with CNBC, treating them like the dummies that they are, simultaneously becoming a meme for his patronising "half cash, half stock" response, a genius move in free marketing. Sultan Almaaded, who met with Ryan Cohen in 2025 posts a meme stating he would financially back such a deal, to acquire eBay. Michael Burry sells his GME position, and is unfollowed by Ryan Cohen Tuesday - Ryan Cohen continues the media tour with a much friendlier, but short interview with Charles Payne This is followed by a longer more detailed interview with TPBN, he reveals that he wants eBay to be his baby and that he could run it from home, he also mentions that the eBay board are not happy with his involvement. Wednesday Ryan calls out the lack of purchases by the eBay board, only sales to the tune of $120M over the past five years. Ryan Cohen starts listing items on eBay, under the username ryan5050 to help raise money to acquire eBay. Each listing comes with a signed copy of the Activist letter sent to the eBay board This causes Ryan to be suspended from eBay, and a lengthy customer services call Thursday Ryan continues the public onslaught at eBay, criticizing their happy hour and free alcohol, the case of Security Directors harrassing and indimidating members of the public and their misaligned priorities, despite spending $2.4bn in marketing Form 425's are being filed daily with any relevant public communications posted on X and mainstream media. The media tour continued today with an interview with Business Insider and a 40 minute YouTube interview, Let's see what next week brings in this amusing and entertaining investment, will Ryan continue the games? Will Roaring Kitty returns? Will Jake cure his chlamidya? Game On.

  @npantano_ @FartieFrenchie If they roll this into a holding company they can issue the stock from the new entity. Cohen said in a follow up interview they'd do it this way, 60% value to ebay shareholders, 40% to gme shareholders. I'd be happier with your theory though tbh.

  @ManehattanStonk @leadlagreport Half cash (~$27.75B) + half stock (~$27.75B) = $55.5B offer. Cash side: $9.4B on hand + up to $20B TD financing = $29.4B. Covers it. Stock side: Issue new GME shares worth ~$27.75B to eBay holders (at $125/share equivalent). Math adds up via new debt + dilution. Execution and premium are the real questions.

  @Wall_of_History @doctorbionicle It’s not all of them, but I know there’s a good chunk that buy and resell as partial “income.” Most don’t report this on taxes because Ebay and Marketplace aren’t heavily monitored by the IRS as reselling personal items isn’t technically a taxable thing It’s never enough money to be full time, so the rest of that money has to be coming from somewhere. I understand it’s a regional issue too, where I am it’s certainly the case. I go to my local game/comic stores and most of the people there are not keeping jobs. They’re on government social programs and they’re grossly overweight. Think the Chris Chan types but less degenerate to paint a picture. Take Pokémon cards for example. The recent videos with Target show a lot of people who aren’t local from the US. That’s immigrants (male men who are here for work but not to raise families) taking advantage of our system to make tax free income. When you watch them you don’t see English speaking Americans so we can safely assume this is being used for fraud Now the ones that are scalping legally are more likely to have bots sniping and register it as a business. The ones in stores are getting free money from abused social programs most likely because the cost of going from place to place is not going to be profitable otherwise. I’ve done some basic observation and research on this to an extent.

  @ValueAddedRS @mtbarra What do they even need employees for let alone a bar at work!? 2.5 billion spent on marketing and how much money wasted on these “employees” everything on eBay is independent sellers. You should only need a server and IT department. Corporate America is comically fraudulent.

  @NariquoTrades The only way GME can move higher is if Cohen dumps his ebay shares and does a share buy back on GME otherwise its dead money until late 2027 -2028 and will be diluted 1.54billion more shares down to 12.00s

  @victoriamary (@Victoriamary) reported 34 minutes ago

  I’m just checking in to say that I have made contact with a human being at @eBay thanks to the help of @pdemp12! It took over an hour to convince the bot to let me speak to an agent and I found myself nearly losing my mind but I finally was able to tell them that the parcel never arrived. They said it’s outside of the EBay window so they can’t do a refund but they will report the seller. I guess that is a start?!!! The seller doesn’t have an address or phone number or even an email address listed on their EBay shop so it’s going to be hard to track them down but I think I will try! They have 100% positive feedback on EBay which is interesting! If anyone is in Australia 🇦🇺 please tell me if you have bought anything from them?

  @Kyl0Z3n No. He will acquire someone else and transform that business and eBay will stagnate until someone else buys it and strips it down and sells it off for parts

  Man, $XRT is still struggling with all the $GME volatility. I don’t want to hear anyone say that xrt isn’t affected by GME anymore. You gotta think tho, would state street, vanguard and blackrock really want this deal to go down with eBay? All 3 own a lot of both companies and they would probably have the final approval from eBay’s side. They probably love eBay the way it is, kick backs and all? Vanguard and blackrock own a lot of $UBS too. Conflicting interests if there’s a squeeze.🤔 What would happen with GME legacy shorts? Would the new GME/ebay cusip relieve them of their short positions? Or would it be gme3?

  Day 3. eBay is still throwing the same “script” at me. There has been no resolution and they have admitted to keep the funds with them indefinitely. @ebay, as mentioned in the emails written to you, I will keep raising this issue on X till I don’t get the funds which are rightfully mine. @SECGov, $EBAY fudge their profits by banning sellers and claiming their funds. I’m experiencing this first hand. Nobody knows how many innocent sellers have faced the same issue in the past and have not been able to raise their issue via X. Thanks to @X for such an open platform.

  @TheUltimator5 eBay is the Kansas City Shuffle. The shorts are pushing the eBay price higher because they believe a potential acquisition won’t work without massive dilution. Their entire thesis is based on the assumption that Ryan Cohen would keep issuing more and more shares just to buy eBay at any price. They expect a deal structured around 50% cash and 50% stock, with GameStop continuously diluting shareholders to make it happen. But what if that’s exactly the trap? What if Ryan decides not to buy eBay at all? Instead, GameStop could use its position, cash reserves, and market conditions to aggressively buy back shares and lock up more of the float. That completely flips the narrative and puts enormous pressure on the short thesis. And then Kitty steps out of the box again and pushes the entire momentum even further. After that, if markets eventually collapse and valuations across the board get crushed, GameStop would still have the ability to issue shares later at the right moment and acquire companies far cheaper — not just eBay, but potentially multiple businesses and valuable assets during a downturn. That’s why I think many people still don’t understand the bigger picture. They are focused on short-term headlines while Ryan Cohen appears to be thinking several moves ahead.

  Look @ryancohen you should hire me to do healthcare for GME and eBay. I could use DPC, DSC, direct contracting - with physician-led enterprises - and Cost Plus Drugs (@mcuban) to drive your healthcare costs way down. Mercer (2025 National Survey): Average total cost of employer-sponsored health insurance = $17,496 per employee (~$1,458/month). Employers expect ~6.7% increase in 2026 → >$18,500/year. eBay has ~12,000 employees. GME has ~4,000 employees. We can turn your expense into an asset, spin this off into its own enterprise in 24-36 months, and make money by actually saving corporations money. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

  @longriverCM @longriverCM do not forget smth. If the share price of GME goes Up, and the price of Ebay go down in the Next weeks/months.. The premium gets higher and there is less dilution for same $ outcome. Dont forget the $GME warrants strike 32. Plus the dilution would be +EPS adding. UP

  Gamestop CEO Ryan Cohen says he doesn’t want a board seat at eBay. He wants the whole thing. “The goal here isn’t to be an activist. The goal is I want to own eBay. I want to run eBay. I want that to be my baby.” He says the business model is “more certain than most tech businesses,” despite “such a lack of innovation.” His plan is simple: cut costs, pay down debt, then build. “Cost cutting frankly is the way to make the business more efficient, to pay down the debt and innovate.”

  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.
