  @Leroy1691817 @StockRetail You mean the board members who sold because they knew you idiots would start buying it up all while they knew they were going to turn down the acquisition just so Ryan can offer more money so that they can make more money so that you guys can keep buying Ebay and then get diluted once the acquisition does take place if it does so that those same board members can still make more money off you guys lol it’s comedy at this point eBay is playing gme like a fiddle for now

  @business @opinion In some cases eBay won’t have a choice. They have fiduciary duty issues, and I’m sure with close inspection from the inside, it’s much bigger than that. I’m here to FAFO, do your thing Ryan, I’m more than impressed what u did with chewy, then the turnaround at GameStop. I’ve got my money on Ryan all ******* day long. I smell blood in the water.

  For accounts with limited seller history, fewer than 25 completed sales, or no prior successful sales in sports memorabilia/autographs, @eBay should apply a separate category exposure limit to auction-style listings in high-risk memorabilia categories. This should not be a simple account-wide dollar limit. It should be based on the combination of: account age; seller feedback count; prior sales in the same category; number of active memorabilia listings; auction format; use of high-risk athlete names; use of third-party COA keywords; starting price far below expected market value; multiple similar jerseys or signed items listed in a short window. The rule should not stop a normal low-history seller from listing one inherited signed jersey. It should stop an account with no meaningful memorabilia history from listing ten Tom Brady / Michael Jordan / Ohtani / Messi-style memorabilia auctions while also keeping a cheap notebook active as a low-risk account signal. For collectors, there is not a perfect manual defense here. A buyer can avoid obvious low-history seller red flags and run certificate numbers through @CheckCOA , but the better fix has to happen at the platform-risk level.

  Let me try and explain what this means (for those in the back). 1. $GME pays 50% of the eBay acquisition costs in cash. This buyout pays existing eBay shareholders (if they choose to do so) $125 for their stock 2. Authorized shares are what the company CAN issue, but are not yet issued. 3. If approved, GME can issue another 1.5b shares 4. Instead of selling those to the market which causes dilution, the plan is to ROLL them into ebay by exchanging current shareholder stock OF eBay with an equivalent number of GME shares If you're holding eBay shares at the time of acquisition, your stock will be valued at $125 per share. If GME is valued at $25, you'll receive 5 shares of GME in exchange. New stock is not being issued and sold in the open market (this time)... its exchanged 5:1 ( $GME : $EBAY )

  @APompliano @ryancohen Regarding the unsolicited $56 billion bid for eBay, which relies on a combination of GameStop’s cash reserves, committed debt financing, and new equity issuance: Can you confirm whether this transaction is structured, in whole or in part, to address or resolve any unresolved issues in GameStop’s share structure, such as synthetic shares or rehypothecation, or is it solely an operational and marketplace synergy play independent of those considerations?

  $GME - GameStop’s $56B eBay Bid Had a Price. It Did Not Have Enough Credibility. eBay was right to reject GameStop’s $56B takeover bid, and the reason is simple: a premium is not the same thing as a financeable deal. The proposal looked aggressive on the surface: $125 per eBay share, split 50% cash and 50% GameStop stock, valuing the equity at roughly $55.5B. That is the easy part. The hard part is believing a much smaller retailer can credibly swallow a much larger marketplace without loading the combined company with financing risk, execution risk, and a capital structure shareholders may not want. The credibility gap GameStop was a roughly $10B–$12B company trying to buy eBay, a company around four times its size. That makes the stock component the real issue. Half-stock deals depend on trust in the acquirer’s equity, not just the nominal offer price. A $125 headline can look generous while the actual deliverable value is much messier. Financing was the tell GameStop pointed to about $9.4B of cash and liquid investments and a TD Securities highly-confident letter for up to $20B of financing. But eBay’s board focused on exactly what matters: financing uncertainty, leverage, operational risk, leadership structure, valuation implications, and GameStop’s governance and incentives. That is not a vague dismissal. That is a board saying: show us a binding, executable, properly funded deal before asking our shareholders to underwrite your ambition. The debt question is where the bid starts to crack. Even if the cash leg can be assembled, the resulting balance sheet could be materially heavier, while the operational plan depends on cost cuts, fulfillment ideas, authentication, and marketplace synergies that are not obvious enough to pay for the risk. Price is not value Cohen’s pitch is classic operator logic: cut the bloat, use GameStop’s physical footprint, make eBay more efficient. Maybe some of that is true. But a turnaround retailer buying a larger marketplace is not the same thing as optimizing one. Bottom line: eBay did not reject audacity; it rejected a bid where the headline was stronger than the financing, the premium was cleaner than the execution plan, and the debt burden could end up doing more damage than the deal premium was worth.

  @nypost eBay just shut down GameStop’s audacious $56 billion takeover bid, calling it ‘neither credible nor attractive’ over financing concerns, operational risks, and governance questions. Ryan Cohen’s offer (half cash, half GME stock at $125/share) was a bold swing from the much smaller company, but eBay’s board is confident going it alone. Classic David vs Goliath that didn’t land. What a wild chapter in retail/e-commerce drama! 📉🛒

  $GME Absolute ****-show. Ryan Cohen tried to buy $EBAY for $56 billion. EBAY banned his personal account, then reinstated the account. Cohen then listed items on EBAY saying he was selling them to fund the bid. EBAY banned him, again. @TheRoaringKitty posted mysterious messages on social media tonight. Stock spiked 13%. He deleted the posts. Alternatively, he was hacked. Stock collapsed. Nobody knows what the posts said. Classic. GME filed with the #SEC to increase authorized shares from 1 billion to 2.5 billion. That is a 150% increase. That is a lot of potential dilution. The market noticed. Insiders have sold $0.4M in shares over the last three months. Zero insider buying. One analyst says the stock is 123.6% overvalued at current prices. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits is bullish with message volume up 977% today. One user wrote "They just forced the cat guy back into the narrative." That is THE bull thesis in one sentence. The stock is down 4.6% today at $23.17, pressing toward the $22.60 support level that technically matters most right now. Four ring circus. One stock. Zero boring days. $22.60 is the line. Everything else today is entertainment. NFA. DYOR.

  @raskolniklove I think it's interesting that $EBAY comms/press relations can't be bothered to do their jobs & respond to emails from a journalist requesting comment about serious issues at the co for 5 years. I also think it's interesting eBay is willing to pay outside consultants to send an unsolicited email with links to their rejection notice to that same journalist. Kind of proves many of the points @ryancohen has been making.

  Imagine Ryan really wants the giant eBay toy castle that sells toys and stuff online. He offered the eBay bosses $56 billion to buy the whole thing, but they said “No thank you!” and turned him down. So now Ryan is using a secret superhero trick. GameStop gave $700 million as special “magic promise money” (called collateral) to some big banks. Because of that promise money, the banks are secretly holding or controlling a huge pile of eBay shares for Ryan — way bigger than just $700 million worth. It’s like putting down a small allowance to secretly own and control a giant playground. With this magic trick (called derivatives), Ryan can act like he owns a big enough piece of eBay to boss things around, even without buying everything in the open where everyone sees. If the eBay bosses still say no, Ryan can go “hostile” — like marching right up to all the eBay shareholders (the kids who own little pieces of the castle) and saying, “Vote with me! I’ll pay you a good price and make the castle way bigger and better.” The secret big stake from the $700M promise gives him extra power and surprise to make that happen, turning his small money into a giant controlling move! It’s a sneaky but smart way big kids play when they really want the toy

  The JATS™ Strategic Brief: The GameStop–eBay Acquisition Architecture The Ryan Cohen Playbook 2.0 $GME $EBAY The proposed acquisition of eBay by GameStop would represent a major strategic evolution in Ryan Cohen’s operating playbook. Cohen disrupted the pet industry with Chewy through a relentless obsession with customer service, logistics, speed, and trust. He then stabilized GameStop by stripping away debt, rebuilding the balance sheet, and positioning the company for long-term strategic optionality. The eBay thesis appears to be the next phase of that model. Cohen has described eBay as a great company with a great opportunity. That phrasing matters. It suggests he does not view eBay as a broken asset, but rather as an underutilized platform possessing massive embedded value. The objective is not simply to acquire another online marketplace; it is to fuse eBay’s digital footprint with GameStop’s physical infrastructure, forging a high-velocity, physical-digital commerce network. GameStop’s footprint of roughly 1,600 physical locations could transcend traditional retail. These stores could function as localized fulfillment nodes, intake centers, authentication hubs, customer-service points, and community-based commerce infrastructure. Under this model, eBay’s marketplace becomes trusted, localized, and operationally disciplined. This is the Chewy playbook applied to the secondary market: better service, faster shipping, verified products, and an ironclad customer relationship. The Financial Engine: Authorized Share Expansion To execute a transaction of this magnitude, GameStop requires supreme financial flexibility. This illustrates the strategic importance of the proposed authorized share expansion. Proposal 5 seeks to increase GameStop’s authorized Class A common stock from 1.005 billion to 2.5 billion shares. On the surface, this registers as dilution risk. Strategically, however, it serves as transaction ammunition. The company is not signaling an intent to immediately flood the market with shares; it is engineering the capacity to act decisively the moment the right opportunity crystallizes. A major cash-and-stock acquisition demands this exact flexibility, allowing GameStop to preserve its ironclad balance sheet while offering eBay shareholders meaningful participation in the combined entity. Cohen’s personal alignment is equally critical. He draws no salary, no cash bonus, and no time-vested stock. His performance-based option award only holds value if GameStop’s market capitalization rises dramatically and the company generates substantial, cumulative earnings. This structure tethers him exclusively to long-term enterprise value, bypassing short-term financial engineering. This is not a compensation story. It is an execution story. The Strategic Synergy: Building the Physical-Digital Bridge The core opportunity lies within eBay’s underutilized marketplace infrastructure. eBay retains enormous brand recognition, global reach, seller liquidity, and category depth. Yet, the platform is currently plagued by stagnation, trust deficits, inconsistent seller quality, fragmented fulfillment, and an absence of modernization. GameStop is uniquely positioned to solve this. The combined entity could leverage GameStop storefronts as localized fulfillment and intake hubs, accelerating the velocity of select eBay goods through the system. High-value categories—collectibles, electronics, gaming hardware, trading cards, luxury watches, and refurbished devices—would instantly benefit from in-person authentication. This physical trust layer dramatically reduces fraud and elevates buyer confidence, creating a moat that pure-play digital competitors cannot replicate.

  @planetarulo Yeah I didn't buy either in 2002. Cherry picking dates is pretty dishonest. If you had bought both in 2020 as an example, you'd be very happy with GME but who did that either? That said, you aren't wrong. eBay leadership has improved shareholder value. I'd just argue you're misrepresenting GameStop leadership which has taken GME from sub $1 to $23 over 6 years. But again, that's cherrypicking. Stonks go up, stonks go down. Sometimes they go sideways too.
