felipe pancho villa hernando Cortez jr (@Gorillllapimp) reported@ThePPseedsShow @squeezistChrist I made a post about this the other day when $GME was being attacked after the eBay announcement. I’ve never seen so many $GME $bbby $iep $amc $teddy community members come together, put personal beef to the side, hold the line and talk **** back to these clowns talking down on our stock.

Ashni (@ashnichrist) reportedHow I'd run Gamestop / eBay Live Shopping Yesterday I broke down why Cohen's $56B bet on eBay is actually a bet on live commerce. Today I'm telling you exactly how I'd run the creator and live shopping side, because eBay's been failing at it for three years... What you need to know: 00:00 eBay's failure 00:18 Deal recap & the problem 01:21 eBay marketing & my experience 02:33 What is broken 03:07 GM of eBay Live Caroline Pougnier 05:02 Embarrassing production 06:34 How eBay / Gamestop Live should run 15:08 Legacy retailers & live shopping TLDW: - eBay spent $2.4B on sales & marketing in 2025 to add 1M net active buyers, Whatnot did $6B in GMV in 2025 with a fraction of that spend - what's broken: affiliate program, GM of Live telling people to stream elsewhere, embarrassing production execution, sellers who aren't comfortable live - the fix: build streaming-as-a-service into the highest-paying live commerce gig in the creator economy, tier the creator program by audience size, 1,600 GameStop stores become streaming hubs & a moat, build a show not just a platform, etc. Whether or not the acquisition closes, Cohen publicly betting $56B means live commerce + creator partnership thesis is now mainstream Every legacy ecommerce platform (eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Etsy) will be doing this over next 12-18 months Tag @ryancohen & tell him I can help his creator relationships & live shopping lol (jk)

JustAddWater (@jpsurratt2005) reported@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.

The Stylish Steak (@TheStylishSteak) reported@AMCScam @eBay @ryancohen Hahaha post your “graphs” I’m not going to explain every inch of GameStop to you like a 5 year old, business has been ran amazingly and went from what should have been bankruptcy multiple times to its most profitable year last year after shutting down tons of unprofitable stores. Done arguing with your *** cause I’m not here to educate you. At this point I think it’s best you just short GameStop

White Privilege Whale (@realWPWhale) reported@ryancohen @eBay is garbage and full of scammers selling used or broken crap. It's not even on my list of sites that I'm willing to buy things from.

Ali Zuberi (@alizuberi) reported@ryancohen eBay suspending the one guy publicly running auctions to help buy them out is peak ‘community at risk’… from the boardroom Turning socks into a hostile-takeover signal is next-level. This is why retail investors love RC — he actually uses the platforms he wants to fix. Legal standing + momentum? Acquisition arc just got spicy. Thoughts on the DPA angle?

Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reportedGameStop’s mysterious financing letter underpinning its audacious $56 billion bid for eBay is emerging as a central issue in the proposed takeover, as questions mount over whether the deal is actually financeable. The video game retailer said it has lined up a $20 billion financing commitment from TD Securities, part of TD Bank. But a key condition attached to this letter could ultimately make or break the deal: the combined company would need to maintain an investment-grade credit profile, CNBC’s David Faber reported, citing people who have seen the document. Moody’s Ratings said Wednesday that the proposed acquisition would be “credit negative” for eBay because of the substantial increase in leverage implied by the deal structure. $GME

Wiz888999 (@ODB123) reported🔥🔥🔥🔥GameStop really walked into Wall Street’s country club with muddy boots 😭 25,000 eBay shares owned outright. Derivative exposure tied to 23,176,000 shares expiring Feb 2028. Pre-HSR = economic exposure. Post-HSR = cash or share settlement. Read slow. One version is price exposure. Other version can become an inventory problem if counterparties need to locate stock 👀 $125 per share hostile bid. ~$55.5B total offer. 50% cash. 50% GME equity. ~$9.4B liquid firepower. Up to $20B financing support. Folks called RC crazy. Wall Street calls identical behavior “sophisticated capital strategy” once a billionaire in loafers does it 💀

PokeDash (@certifieddasher) reported@eBay I actually thought I was the only one having issues with eBay. I guess not. I been tryna bid on this PSA pokemon card but @PSAcard wouldnt let me bid on any of its cards listed. I contacted both PSA and eBay but no one is responding. EVERYONES ON VACATION!

Bill Clark (@bill_clark) reported@digitalix People still use @eBay? The whole site is nothing but scams now, and they seem to be quite uninterested in addressing the issue, let alone solving it.

Carl (@Gladvillain) reported@SkyDaddyPhDTE @PrinceSaidthis Ebay is pretty cool. I use it a few times a year to buy and sell. Member since 2013. No issues.

**** Master Broda (@PimpMasterYoda1) reported@Pirat_Nation Ebay seller here. Ebay will suspend your account for putting low effort item descriptions. This includes titles. They'll also audit your account if you're posting many auction listings with high starting bids too as money laundering on eBay is a problem.

FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reportedSold out in minutes, eBay listings right on schedule, and Valve's fix is... an actual line. Reservations, one per account, 72 hours to buy. Amazing how fast scalping looks solvable when a company decides players should get first crack at the thing.

Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reportedGameStop just offered $56 billion to buy eBay. That's the entire price tag, cash and stock combined. Ryan Cohen runs GameStop. The company sits on about $5 billion in cash and securities. eBay's market cap is around $30 billion. The offer values eBay at nearly double what the public market thinks it's worth, and GameStop doesn't have the money to back it. Cohen says it'd be a stock-and-cash deal, which means GameStop would have to issue paper worth more than its entire current company to close the math. Carl Icahn tried this exact play on eBay back in 2014. He failed for the same reason: you cannot buy a $30 billion company with $5 billion unless somebody agrees your shares are worth what you say they are. eBay's board hasn't even acknowledged the bid. No financing commitment filed. No advisor named. No path to actually closing. So why announce a $56 billion offer you cannot fund? Because the headline moves GME harder than the deal ever could. Cohen's whole playbook since 2021 has been turning corporate filings into retail catalysts. This is the boldest version yet.

Sean Williams (@AMCScam) reported@1of197058 @BCG But nevertheless part of the story why eBay & its shareholders don't need GameStop. Who wants this culture & broken retail model?

Ishaan (@ishaancsp) reported@deepakshenoy I think you're being generous in interpretation. GameStop's estimated EBITDA for 2027 is $469 million. It's debt on books is $4 Bn. TD Bank is offering to give them $20Bn against eBay, not Gamestop. So it's a leveraged buyout. Next, the stock portion. To issue, $28 Bn of new stock, they'd have to issue 1Bn+ new shares (as per current closing price). They have 448 million shares outstanding. So, absolutely SUBSTANTIAL dilution. And here the acquirer's shareholders will vote too because it's small fish acquiring big fish. Plus, is the proposal to issue common stock after the acquisition? But then, this wouldn't be GameStop stock would it? It would be eBay stock

James (@GreenleafOTTS) reported@shagbark_hick For anyone wondering... Look up Extreme Cold Military sleeping bag. They are about $100 on eBay, made of a heavy outer material, down filled, and if branded and copied by Patagonia or North Face would probably be 600-800. Only one ive used past 15 years

jerome powell (@VladPlane) reported@Cardhedge @ryancohen Biggest issue with EBay is the high fees.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Card (@Cardhedge) reported@PhantomBlack699 This is awesome, as someone who frequently uses eBay. He’s going to expose how terrible the user experience is and how unnecessary their outsourced call center is. Truly worse customer than 99% of companies out there

The Sports Card Shop (@_sportscardshop) reported@bigbridealguy @ryancohen IMO, the biggest issue with ebay is the fraud and theft by both buyers and sellers. We recently lost $8K on a single order where they allowed a buyer to steal from us. On the buyer side, do a search for Mickey Mantle or Michael Jordan autograph and see how make fakes are out there. Their failure to **** out these fakes makes them complicit in the fraud.
