  @ValueAddedRS The problem is we can’t bake it in the price if we do it as an auction, unless we add a handling fee. But then buyers complain if you do that. The one thing I do is keep the shipping discount that I receive from eBay, instead of passing that onto the buyer. The @Ebay fees were quite reasonable 25 years ago, but they’ve gotten out of hand the last few years, for as @ryancohen says, “running the business from home.” :)

  @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

  @ryancohen - ebay likely looks ~similar. Just a 'racket' - enriching the minority at the top, destroying value all the way down. It's a fractal that stems from the foundation of the System. To fix it, the System must be fixed from the root - not just papering over symptoms.

  @PhantomBlack699 maybe fix GameStop and he wouldn’t have to convince eBay.

  @john_hersc79276 If you issue shares for stuff (evays assets) in return them the value goes up by the value of ebay (minus the debt you take to acquire) They don't have to value gamestop at 30bn. They have to value ebay at 55bn when it becomes part of gamestop.

  @PeterRHann1 I was selling on ebay in the 90s. Then came entification; listing fees and sabotaging leadership, almost as if ebay is a planned SHORT. Biggest problem is fraud - vetting is hard and requires human cost. FB Marketplace took over collector communities. Its a perfect match.

  @NathanQuinlanGC @GenZMultifamily The thing is, when I agree to something I've always done what ever it is .. I accidentally sold a huge server one time on eBay for forty cents as I was working fifty hour days and missed it ending 🙃 But I paid the $60°° and shipped the $200°° server to him ... he was so thankful and he ended up doing a LOT of business with me I don't know if the job was worth a lot more though hell if I know

  @heyitspixel69 You clearly didn’t read ebay’s balance sheet. GameStop aside, eBay has some real issues. I know firsthand from selling $48,000 in sports cards last year

  Saga (@ZecMiFas) reported 21 minutes ago

  @ryancohen Rug them too. Sell the 5% and do the buyback on GME with the 100mio you have authorised. Market already saw what you put out there. It will respond by crashing ebay and you'll buy it with 30-50% discount easy week to months down the road.

  How 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)

  @Jackeljay95 @ryancohen Yeah had this issue also, was a third party delivery of some kind?, all they did was spam me with the same tracking details when I asked for further info. Same hyperlink like 3x eBay didn’t do anything about the dispute. 15$ was easier to just let it go but yeah :(

  Reaching out to other collectors/resellers on @eBay to see if you are noticing any issues... Issues started popping up in April but then stopped and now in May arising again!? Were they hacked? Dealing with a slow site where images are loading slowly and wondering if it's associated with the issues in April? So far in May it's been SLOW AS HELL so what the hell is going on Ebay??? I'm down from 7-8 sales/day to 1-2/day WTF EBAY??? And YES I use promoted listings for ALL of my listings!

  @SahilBloom Been living this building multiple income streams - every dollar earned had to solve a real problem first. The eBay business works because I actually understand what collectors want, not because I hoped someone would pay me for existing.

  Target’s Pokémon 30th anniversary drop got wiped out almost instantly limited products were flipped from $2.89 retail to $20-25 on eBay within hours, while bundles started pushing $80+ now the community is debating the real issue: scalpers only win when demand stays irrational enough to absorb the markup if people stop panic buying every limited drop at any price, the resale premium collapses fast this is what happens when collectibles evolve from fandoms into speculative markets driven by speed, scarcity, and FOMO

  @grandmamystery @Dr_Dankinstein We got websites for that here and that's how theyre done. Which is terrible because everyone knows about it, and as a result the bidding gets so high it's the same price as if you went on Ebay, lol.

  Card (@Cardhedge) reported 36 minutes ago

  @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

  Value Investor (@value_investr) reported 41 minutes ago

  @deepakshenoy People confuse market cap with cash value during M&A all the time. It is a simple math exercise, not a trick question. The real issue isn't the dilution logic, but whether GameStop can actually integrate a business like eBay without destroying its own balance sheet.

  SNAKES_315🐍 (@KozmaNicholas) reported 43 minutes ago

  @M_oass @InvestSpecial Which then gne gets the cash from that. Issues new shares after a share buyback initiating the squeeze. Ebay tanks cause now everyone sees management sucks. We buy next year plus another company

  @_sportscardshop @eBay @ProfSportsCards Well freakin said!!!!! Thats one of the few negatives… him and his company buying eBay doesn’t fix the fraud situation overnight. It just changes who profits while the fraud carries on. It’ll be a tremendous undertaking that will require lots of money and strategy but if anyone is gonna give it a real shot with the right people the most efficiently way possible it’s RC.

  @npantano_ Say EBay decides to entertain this fully, and sell to GME, what is the likelihood the deal falls apart anyway due to financing issues? Trying to purchase a company this way.

  @Kyl0Z3n It's more of a chicken and the egg problem. As he said- Ebay is his dream come true. No matter what he was going to go all in on EBAY. He just wants the cake and eat it too.

  @ReclaimTheNetHQ WHEN they set this up, it was SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SELLERS, now they are putting it on CONSUMERS, and I think I AM GOING TO TURN THEM IN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I have BOUGHT thousands from them, and if they want to accuse me of FRAUD, they can take their damn Amazon account, and SHOVE IT!!! It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). The INFORM Consumers Act (full name: Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act) is a U.S. federal law passed in 2022 as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. It took effect on June 27, 2023. Main Purpose The law aims to increase transparency on online marketplaces (like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, etc.) to protect consumers from counterfeit, stolen, or unsafe goods sold by third-party sellers. It makes it harder for fraudulent sellers to hide their identities. Who It Applies ToOnline marketplaces operating in the U.S. that allow third-party sellers. High-volume third-party sellers: Those with 200+ separate sales and $5,000+ in gross revenue in any continuous 12-month period within the past 24 months. Small or low-volume sellers are generally exempt .Key Requirements Marketplaces like Amazon must: Collect and verify specific information from high-volume sellers: Government-issued ID (e.g., driver's license, passport). Bank account details. Tax ID (e.g., SSN for individuals or EIN for businesses). Contact info (phone, email, business address). Disclose some seller information to buyers (e.g., name, address, contact details for qualifying high-volume sellers). Suspend sellers who don't comply or provide false info. Provide a way for consumers to report suspicious activity. Re-verify information annually (or when it changes). Penalties for non-compliant marketplaces: Up to ~$53,000 per violation (enforced by the FTC and states). Why Amazon (and Others) Ask for ID/VerificationThis is exactly why you might see Amazon prompting for government ID upload or other details during account issues, lockouts, or routine checks. It’s part of their compliance with this law for sellers — and sometimes it spills over or triggers broader account security reviews for buyers too (especially with unusual activity). Amazon has been actively enforcing this since 2023, with annual certifications required.
