  @thisisorlando Ebay is going down slowly, they need to fire the whole board and save the platform.

  Help! I can't log into my eBay account. It needs verification to my old phone number which I no longer have, but I still have my registered email and linked bank account. Can anyone help me fix this? #ebay

  @Hammers091 This is literally not why btw… me getting a limit of 2 per person per store is not why you’re not getting stock. Check eBay for the issue and google why pokemon is hard to get :)

  @PopBase I hope they buy it and fix it. Ebay hasn't been **** in a long time.

  @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.

  @zerohedge Not Amazon tells you the whole story. This isn’t scale. It’s financial engineering in a meme stock costume. Buying eBay doesn’t fix GameStop’s identity crisis, it just makes the confusion bigger.

  @chieftrades1 @kunal00 You do realize the market cap isn’t the sale price right? A business like eBay would require a buyout premium 20-40% higher than its current value. This is impossible. Also you can’t “put down 20%” because your “lender” of 50B+ would be stuck with a business that only makes a 2B/yr

  Shameless plug that I sell packs and boxes myself. I also have a video where I detail how to spot fake Chinese cards as it’s clearly a rampant problem. There are many reputable sellers who can get you genuine Chinese cards. Just avoid eBay and Facebook like the plague and check online stores references.

  @riotmci @TheFootyFeed Every one of you, never went to Maine Road (did I mention, I have), buy retro kits on eBay, because your support isn't passed down from father to son, but glory-seeking... always manufacture a variable to define success. Like I said, MCFC pre-2008 is a Google search result to you

  @BronxCardsFan @CardPurchaser The Ebay tracking # is not recognized by USPS. I've called several times trying to track down my card shipments that didn't arrive to the buyer.

  Fadi (@shahf82) reported 33 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.

  @Pittsburgh1Pete I think this would be great, but don’t think they would ever allow it because it strips too much money away from the platform. I just built a chrome extension to fix this though. Surface comps on the stream, show me if it’s on eBay for cheaper, good buy vs bad, etc. happy to share it with whoever wants to check it out (realsunsfancards on IG)

  @JZard69 @ImliterallyETH I wholeheartedly disagree and this card show seems to think the same, along with a ton of other patrons. I make deals on Facebook all the time, and look for eBay listings that are accepting offers. Quit feeding the issue of scalping.

  I see this 4080 super on eBay It says it powers on but gets no display This could be an easy fix such as reseating it, trying a different cable, etc and be a steal of the life time Or it could be a $530 paper weight

  @switchstock It’s crazy how things have turned around for GameStop. Wasn’t too long ago that they were about to shut down. Now they want to buy eBay? Crazy.

  $GME is preparing an offer to acquire $EBAY. GameStop market cap: $12 billion. eBay market cap: $46 billion. GameStop cash: $9 billion. GameStop long-term debt: $4 billion. So a $12B company with $5B in net cash is going to buy a $46B company. Got it. The math is going to be fascinating to watch. Let’s talk about Ryan Cohen’s performance so far… THE CLEAR FAILURES THE NFT MARKETPLACE (July 2022 – February 2024) • Launched July 2022. First 48 hours generated $3.5M in trading volume. • Partnered with blockchain platform Immutable X. Digital Worlds NFTs committed up to $250M in IMX tokens to support the ecosystem. • Built a dedicated blockchain engineering team around it. • Sales collapsed: $77.4M in 2022 → $2.8M in 2023 (a 96% decline in one year). • GameStop’s own SEC filing in March 2023 admitted NFT sales were not “material” to annual earnings. • Officially shut down February 2, 2024, citing “continuing regulatory uncertainty.” THE CRYPTO WALLET (May 2022 – November 2023) • Launched May 2022 as a self-custody wallet for crypto and NFTs (Chrome browser + iOS app). • Was supposed to be the on-ramp that made the NFT marketplace work. • Shut down November 1, 2023, citing “regulatory uncertainty.” • Lasted about 18 months total. • The blockchain team was largely laid off. THE CEO PICK — MATT FURLONG (June 2021 – June 2023) • Cohen personally recruited Furlong from Amazon Australia to lead GameStop’s tech-forward transformation. • Furlong was the public face of the NFT/crypto pivot. • Fired without explanation in June 2023. No replacement announced at the time. • Cohen took over as Executive Chairman, then CEO in September 2023. • Cohen’s hand-picked CEO lasted exactly two years. THE HARDWARE / ACCESSORIES PUSH (2022 – 2024) • Cohen pushed the company into gaming chairs, TVs, and gamer-branded peripherals to diversify beyond games. • Most analysts now describe this as a “short-lived push.” • Revenue continued declining every year through the period the strategy was supposed to be working. STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVEN’T BEEN FIXED REVENUE KEEPS FALLING • Q1 2025: $732M, down from $881.8M YoY (-17%) • Q3 2025: missed estimates • Q4 2025: $1.1B, down from $1.28B YoY • The retail business is in secular decline. MASS STORE CLOSURES • 590 stores closed in fiscal 2024. • 295–410 more closed in early 2026. • Store count: 2,915 (Feb 2024) → ~1,598 today. • Roughly 45% of all stores closed in 2 years. THE $35B COMPENSATION BACKLASH • January 2026: Cohen granted performance-based stock options worth up to $35B if market cap reaches $100B. • Drew significant public criticism given simultaneous store closures and layoffs. THE PATTERN Cohen has had one repeating playbook for 5 years: identify a hot trend (e-commerce/tech in 2021, NFTs in 2022, crypto wallets in 2022, Bitcoin in 2025, transformational M&A in 2026), announce GameStop’s pivot into it, raise capital on the announcement, then quietly shut it down or move on to the next narrative when it doesn’t generate operating returns. The eBay rumor is the 5th major pivot announcement in 5 years.

  @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.

  @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.
