Chris Mizo (@MizoChris) reportedFake NVIDIA RTX cards are getting worse, this is why I keep telling people to be careful with GPU deals that sound too good. • Fake NVIDIA RTX cards are reportedly circulating online • Some are using glued-down plastic chips instead of real GPU dies • Scrap memory chips may be used to make the card look more legit • One fake RTX 4090 was reportedly listed around $220 • Wrong chip markings, missing QR codes, and fake labeling were spotted • Online marketplaces are the biggest risk • If the price makes zero sense, there is probably a reason • Always ask for proof, benchmarks, GPU-Z screenshots, and purchase history • Meet safely, test the card, and avoid sketchy sellers with GPU prices still high, scammers know people are desperate to find a deal on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, eBay, and random online listings.

NaiveAnalyst (@naiveanalyst7) reportedLet’s not panic about Proposal 4 failing at eBay’s annual meeting. It would only have been the easy way to bring the offer in front of eBay shareholders, by lowering the special meeting threshold to 10%. But the offer can still reach them through a Schedule TO, a tender offer filed directly with the SEC that bypasses the board entirely. To get there, though, one event is vital: the proposal we vote on as GameStop shareholders on July 7th, the increase in authorized shares from 1 billion to 2.5 billion. This is the most important near-term catalyst for the whole deal, since the $125 offer is split evenly between cash and GME stock, and the stock half simply doesn’t exist yet in sufficient quantity. GameStop is sitting near its current 1 billion authorized share ceiling, so without the increase, there aren’t enough shares to actually deliver the equity portion of the consideration. Regarding this, on June 8th GameStop filed a supplement to its proxy materials clarifying the voting standard for the share authorization proposal, and two things came out of it. First, the proposal is classified as a routine matter under NYSE rules. This matters because of how broker voting works. When a proposal is routine, brokers holding shares on behalf of retail clients can vote those shares at their own discretion even if the client gives no instruction. On non-routine matters, those uninstructed shares simply don’t get voted. GameStop’s retail base is enormous and notoriously slow to return voting instructions, so under a non-routine classification a huge block of shares would effectively sit out. Routine classification means brokers can vote that block, and historically broker discretionary votes lean toward management’s recommendation. Second, the supplement clarified that abstentions are not counted as votes cast, so they have no effect on the outcome. Only FOR and AGAINST votes count toward the threshold. This removes a common drag that sinks shareholder proposals where high abstention rates are driven by apathy or confusion. Put together, these two points meaningfully tilt the probability of passage in management’s favor. They don’t guarantee it, brokers vote according to their own policies and determined opposition can still organize, but the structural setup is favorable. Still learning. Still sharing. Not financial advice. $GME $EBAY

Kaiba’s Confections TCG (@AustinBurley1) reportedProblem with alot of businesses these days is they hold your money to longest possible extent before you receive a payout. Yet everyone you pay wants paid on time . It’s a super annoying issue. Can’t tell me a multimiilion dollar apartment complex doesn’t have the funds to pay you your deposit on time in accordance with the law. Don’t get me started on insurance companies and ebay… like pulling teeth man.

Christopher (@Christo82965940) reportedHi @AskeBay — I need urgent escalation on Case 5374687210. eBay ruled against me stating I "didn't provide tracking in time" — but my eBay message records show I provided signed delivery confirmation 19 days before the buyer even opened the case. I have official Chunghwa Post CN08 documentation and a Poste Italiane signed receipt. This is a factual error in the ruling, not a policy disagreement. Frontline CS and the disputes team have both refused to engage. I need this reviewed by someone with actual authority. Seller ID: Rolf_Racing_Ver.2. How do I get this escalated properly?

The Never To Be Humble Art Guy (@glgale) reported@AutonomyJenny Your fear is unhinged and linked to your personal persecution problem, same as the rest of the 18% fringe. Your neighbors aren’t going to burn down your property or sell your children on eBay. Stop being such a snowflake.

Paul (@pavlai12) reported@TCGPokePlug @eBay They added the sales tax to the order total and then subtracted it. That has no impact to you. Your fees were $419. Your sale must have been around $2900 and you received almost $2500. So, what’s the issue?

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reportedDown 65% in 5 years, proposing a $35b comp plan. eBay up 65% in 5 years and have taken $500m — he is criticizing this. Basically, if GME makes back RC’s last 5 years of losses, and then gains like 100% on top of that, over 10 years, he will make $35b. GME holders will get a 6% annual return over 15 years. It’s okay to be mad at this. @ryancohen

Sam Boboev (@samboboev) reportedBREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

@qurlt (@qurlt1) reportedThis is one of the most interesting set-’em-up-and-knock-‘em-down opportunities I’ve seen in the market. The variables are largely staring us in the face. We know the balance sheet. We know the cash position. We know the buyback authorization. We know the eBay stake. We know the governance vote. We know Ryan Cohen’s playbook because we’ve watched him execute it before. But we also are going up against a stystem that has been captured. Keep the faith but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedFrom 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business and the margins have become stagnant at best, and way behind at worst. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

Roaring Kitty Token 💥🍻 (@RoaringKitty_22) reported🚨 Breaking News : eBay Proposal 4 May Have Passed eBay's annual shareholder meeting is over, and reports are circulating that Proposal 4 received enough votes to pass. If confirmed, shareholders would only need to own 10% of eBay to call a special shareholder meeting, down from the current 20% requirement. Why does that matter? GameStop reportedly owns nearly 10% of eBay. That could give Ryan Cohen and GameStop a way to bring their acquisition ideas directly to eBay shareholders through a special meeting. ⏰ Official voting results have not been released yet. eBay has said the results could be announced as soon as tomorrow. $GME $EBAY

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported$EBAY DID NOT ANNOUNCE THE FINAL VOTE COUNT. They are still counting and results will be released in an 8K within 4 business days. $GME and its warrants are up sharply post-meeting. At the same time, a Federal Judge has reopened the harassment campaign lawsuit against eBay’s board and management. It looks like eBay’s in trouble…..

HelpfulMilk (@HelpfulMilk546) reported@AmourageCapital @xbtforever Nothing really. I’d guess they continue raising their ownership in eBay or issue a tender offer. Some people have spectated they buy back shares but I doubt it. Good point that they haven’t been correlated! I tend to think solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump is correlated to Roaring Kitty and that he will come back when there’s a solid reason like gmeXebay deal. I could envision a scenario where the deal is half stock for eBay and the deal currency of gme shares creates some sort of opportunity. All spectulation though

Bare Beauty Bodypainting 🖖🌹 (@Barebeautybody) reported@TCGPokePlug @eBay Whatnot is the closest site to take down eBay, but sadly it's filled with scammers, and that turns off buyers. Until we get a legitimate alternative eBay and their fees, and their shipping scams, and their counterfeit items will unfortunately have to suffice.

Tim Miller (@WebInspectInc) reportedBuilt sellyourjunk because I kept losing money trashing stuff I wasn't using. Spent weeks manually listing everywhere: eBay, Facebook, local apps. Thought 'this is broken, there's gotta be a better way'. So I built one. Work in progress, but getting better every day 💪

Chozero (@chozero616) reported@MrLeeSensei @TheCinesthetic Honestly I don't get the issue. Like these actors are rich and if people want to make some bags in eBay just let them they probably need it😭

Sports Card Radio (@SportsCardRadio) reported@MGDTcards No real issues honestly. Only graded, only about 4 sellers on eBay and I limit the players. There’s quite a few guardrails, but since it’s a hot market the inventory is very liquid. I personally would only do graded since it’s a standardized system but no reason why it can’t do any card

bollockstothis (@laurast51362949) reported@marklindores @CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany People who know what a hassle it is when things arrive broken. You do it with eBay and vinted as well because people send empty boxes or wrong items.

XShadesX (@TheRealXShadesX) reported@CanonCsa @zebular0 True. Issue I have with that for starters is not a lot of people like GameStop. GameStops reputation is still ****. People will still go to eBay over GameStop marketplace.
