Jollyradar 🏴☠️ (@jollyradar) reported@R6RiderF @Mooncake741 This would give GameStop a $1.4 billion win on its eBay position. And then they would wait for the price to come back down, which it would as soon as the deal fell apart, and make a new offer with an extra $1.4 billion in the bank. As long as the deal is in place eBay price will stay closely tied to the $125 ceiling. Too easy to short above that price.

$2 Bill (@twodollabil) reported@R6RiderF WTF are you even talking about ? EBAY is down 10% on the week. I could even read the rest of the post on your erroneous initial comment.

General Jackson (@jackson_ge51896) reportedSPY tops at 741 The market starts finding its way to its bowels GME rockets other memes start popping off like random fire flies at night. It all crashes, sending everything down to the lowest levels in decades...... This is when GME swoops in, takes over Ebay, and 5 other companies.

Joe A (@aceofcards89) reportedYou mean you don’t want to work for less than minimum wage? That being said, if I’m already working from home and you just want me to buy things on eBay using your money, not terrible.
-
Kenob1 (@Ob1JohnKenob1) reported@SolveableSea @CardPurchaser Funny you should ask. It’s attached to my profile but all my eBay listings got stolen this weekend so I had to take most of them down. I’ll be putting more up this week.

sellmyphone (@sellmyphone_) reportedeBay takes 12.8% final value fee on the full transaction — sale price AND postage. Add payment processing at 2.9% + 30p. Then a promoted listing (because without it your phone is on page 8). You're already down £45–£52 on a £250 phone before you've bought a stamp.

Heath Sellers (@CoachSellers) reportedMike is right! It’s a HUGE problem. I just had one returned because of an indention you could only see through a microscope and they claimed it wasn’t NM which they then argue is a PSA 7 if it’s to their advantage! @eBay is making it harder and harder for #thehobby

KASM (@KASM_Capital) reportedThe $GME $EBAY conspiracy just got more interesting. GameStop filed a proxy today and the math is worth walking through. GME has ~448M shares outstanding. At $26, that’s an $11.7B company. Cohen wants to buy eBay for $55.5B — half cash, half GME stock. The stock portion is about $27.75B. At today’s price, that means issuing well over 1B new shares. Existing shareholders go from owning 100% of GME to roughly 30%. No way this gets approved. At $45, Cohen issues ~617M new shares and holders end up around 42%. That’s also where his new performance award kicks in — his comp pays nothing unless GME sustains about a $20B market cap, roughly $45/share. At $62, he issues 448M new shares and doubles the float. Shareholders own 50%. Aggressive, but at least real. At $120, he needs only ~231M new shares. Holders keep about 66%. Now the deal starts to look like a legitimate mega‑acquisition, not a meme. Today’s proxy asks shareholders to authorize 2.5B total shares. That’s Cohen asking for permission to print the $ he needs. Buried in the filings, GameStop already has exposure to 23.2M eBay shares through options expiring February 2028. Cohen built the eBay position before going public with the bid. Deal needs GME higher. Share authorization makes issuance possible. His comp kicks in at the minimum price the math requires. He’s already long eBay into the announcement. And Kitty just logged back in. The next few months decide whether Cohen actually pulls off one of the wildest deals in modern markets or his clout flames out. I’m betting he’s just crazy enough to make it work.

M1LLER (@CsgoM1) reported@bostong41476161 Please take in consideration they only asking to be aloud to - they dont whant to issue 2.5B shares to just dilute. They want to buy ebay - and it will depend on the GME share price (50% stock / 50% cash) how much dilution is needed.

Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@ryancohen For anyone who doubts $EBAY has a brand problem re retaliation: "I was super nervous about putting it out there...I was afraid that eBay is going to be like, "What are you doing?" and, you know, kick me off the platform." The man sells on the platform, makes software to help others sell on the platform & runs one of the best, most informative YouTube channels out there for sellers on the platform - this is not something that should ever even enter his mind of a second & the fact that it did says everything that needs to be said.

NightStand (@Leroy1691817) reported@JonTheTrader @colin_gladman On a real note , isn’t it needed for the eBay deal ; the equity from eBay shareholders ? Also if dfv ever came back we would need to issue shares and raise another 4-5 billion . It’s not like Ryan’s gonna dilute at the lows like amc . Just my opinion what r ur thoughts ?
-
Mr. PoopyButthole Redeemed (@mr_redeeme90567) reported@TheUltimator5 Similar to the warrants then? Expecting vwap to be pinned down locking in a lower price? Do you think this deal might actually get accepted by ebay rather quickly to everyone's surprise?
-
Fadi (@shahf82) reported@FartieFrenchie @Shripriya @ryancohen Completely agree on the opex issue - it's killing margins. The 30 day money-back guarantee is a straight-up magnet for scammers. No way to enforce basic supplier SOPs like 'photo of fit + missing/damaged parts within 48hrs' when eBay just gives buyers instant refunds no questions asked.
-
Vector (@PrasVector) reported@KobeissiLetter eBay just shut down that massive takeover attempt cold. GameStop swinging for the fences but clearly wasnt enough to impress them. Online retail wars are getting brutal.

Naeem Aslam (@NaeemAslam23) reported🚨 🇺🇸 GAMESTOP-EBAY DEAL — THE MARKET IS QUESTIONING THE MATH eBay’s board reportedly rejected GameStop’s unsolicited offer worth about $55.5B, or $125 per share, split between cash and GME stock. The offer implied a 46% premium before the news. This is not just a takeover story. It is a size problem. GameStop is much smaller than eBay, so investors are asking how the deal would be funded without heavy debt or dilution. The stock reaction depends on belief. If GameStop proves financing, GME can catch momentum. If doubts grow, eBay may hold firm while GME faces pressure.
-
Ermias Braki (@ermiasbraki) reportedWatching the $GME discourse unfold is something to behold... @ryancohen is right about ebay but it doesn't even matter. His army of fans have shown they will ride with what he says. Think that is worth noting aside from any governance issues w/ ebay.

Trade Winds Daily (@TradeWindsDaily) reported$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.

Dean Gillberry (@FartieFrenchie) reported@Tiggersdad2 You do have a point in your additional comment above, which I’m just seeing now. The two deltas of the offer is the leverage required, and whether 50% of eBay shareholders will participate in an equity roll. TD’s letter likely required heavy due diligence, so there’s confidence there. I don’t think the offer is unrealistic though. Considering eBay’s stale growth, I do think the premium offered is appealing. GameStop wouldn’t need to dilute at the market, but there is accretive dilution when classes are combined. GameStop shareholders go from (estimated) 100% ownership of $10b to 40% ownership of $60b, which is appealing unless I’m misunderstanding. I’ve been reading into merger arbitrage a bit to understand how that would impact both stocks if the deal was accepted. I don’t see how GameStop wouldn’t be bid up although the stock is anemic. After, RC’s media campaign it seems like the plan was for this to end up hostile, so I’m curious to see how it plays out. Side note, that Depop acquisition was a terrible decision. Hope all is well

Sir Nutz 🥜 (@NsuteraA1) reported@ryancohen When You aquire E-Bay You could start Ebay Auctions You should bring AMC into the fold the stock is oppressed however We shake the shorts, and dark pools by block chaining the securities into coins. AMC is worth a ton mostly owned by retail. That may be too much for You to take on. I truly hope we do more damage to hedge funds because they've been cheating us for five years in Barclay bank securities. All kinds of stuff went down.

Ty Blunt (@tblunt80) reported@ryancohen Yo come in and fix eBay. So many issues. Try the app. Buggy.

Look For Entries (@LookForEntries) reported$RYUN is sitting on 6.1k mc whilst other similar sort of memes are running so much higher. Back in 2021 $GME short squeeze was happening and now with the acquisition of Ebay coming, I think this could be seriously undervalued. I don't mind personally helping out any CTO that takes place on this as I have worked on a few similar style memes in the past. Who would be down to run this up? Could be a good runner if played right. Bab6tzaGYxUCcLTUXG1TSVv4vUaYWC3MLoTDGULGpump

Simon Jones (@SimonJonesMusic) reported@PositivFuturist @PrimeVideo I've been buying blu rays and boxsets on eBay for so little money it's ridiculous. Amazon streaming quality is the worst of them all, whatever way they are encoding dark scenes is a complete disaster. They started messing with audio mixes too which predictably was terrible.

slumlord ave (@CaptianCumknuck) reported@eBay I’m still having this issue and need assistance
-
Chuck H (@ChuckH14491265) reported@Stonkfather2021 You realize if the acquisition isn't successful then ebay stock goes straight down, right? That would make their calls a lot less profitable or even underwater and exercising them OTM would be retarded.
-
The Mulligan Report (@MulliganRep) reportedRetail chasing "hot stocks" like AMD, EBAY, SMCI, UBER, RKLB shows fiat's speculative allure. Nominal buzz is not real wealth. Price discovery is broken when sentiment rules over value. Gold offers true refuge. GOLD BULLISH. FIAT STOCKS BEARISH....
-
**** Master Broda (@PimpMasterYoda1) reported@wintryhare @Pirat_Nation This is why you don't buy stuff from people with super low feedback. Also, eBay gives buyers insane power over a seller. I've had buyers try to scam me back all the time by trying to use me as a replacement service. (ie. Buying a new controller, refunding it, sending me back a broken controller in it's place.) Usually, it's not worth my time to fight it but I"ve pulled some people into small claims court. A lot harder to beat the system there than eBay's AI driven garbage that gives a pass on everything.

TradeWin (@TradeWin_) reportedMy interprétation : GME won't dilute soon : "we do not intend to issue new shares lightly" - maybe a hint they will issue little to no now shares on the EBAY deal ? Raising the authorized count, I believe RC's plan is that GME will take advantage of the price run happening in the future to raise more money via ATM offering to buy new companies - Berkshire style. This is controlled MOASS ! You heard it first hear.
