  My thoughts on eBay’s dividend program: $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. Margins across the board are declining. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.

  @DreamcatcherDK @Tiggersdad2 @bluepill86 Again, really really slow this time. What cohen is proposing is to buy ebay out with leveraged money, taking a huge loan WHICH EBAY IS GONNA HAVE TO PAY OUT AFTERWARDS. In what world does that make any sort of sense to you people? Holy ****.

  its really hurtful to know the industry I've worked in for over 15 years is just a cold heartless empty void and everyone only cares about money. ive dedicated my life to providing original content all the way from 2016 to now, 2026. if @ebay want to ban me because of personal confliction with @TeamPWR brand, how is that a fair consumer practise? im reaching out one more time before I take action, ive attemtped to contact 5 employees about this. A permenant suspension is not applicable to someone in my circumstances as a BRAND owner and soon to be Lifestyle brand owner. Thank you for your consideration. I believe the ban is a technical error and need this immediatly reviewed and disclosed why this has happened to me in a private email PLEASE to my biz email. plz dont fail to respond within 24hrs.

  @RDKLInc Except one time for me it was way under what it really cost. I shipped a big 1U server - eBay said 30 ish dollars but USPS charged me close to a 100.

  @MemeStockMillyz I understand that but even if that happens the core issue still ain’t fixed and even if eBay accusation happens it remains to be seen if it can turn into a good thing. Even if it does the core issue with GameStop is it still has done nothing to solve digital gaming.

  @DanielW40094974 Imagine turning down billions and then watching the buyer update the offer the same way eBay buyers update watchlists. Offer: $4B Declined. Offer: $3.7B Declined. Offer: $3.4B Declined. Offer: “Best I can do is store credit and a graded base card.” Board: “We’re maximizing shareholder value.” Shareholders: “Are you though?” @ryancohen @gamestop

  Card people - has anyone had any high end experience selling a graded card with eBay authenticity guarantee ($15k+)? I just want to ensure I won’t get screwed somehow and there isn’t a new scam I’m unaware of that could cause problems

  The last pic is from the same seller, from $30 cad to $50 is crazy. I’d recommend resellers on mercari japan using a proxy like buyee or zenmarket then you have to pay shipping after. Aliexpress & eBay also work if you check reviews. Problem is he’s very expensive due to demand

  @Razer @_Myuunyan had a wolverine ultimate for almost 5 years, zero issues. Got a V2 chroma BRAND new from one of your licensed sellers on eBay and when I reached out because it’s given me issues after 6 months I was told to contact the eBay seller for a replacement(expired after 1 month).Let down

  NaiveAnalyst (@naiveanalyst7) reported 26 minutes ago

  @foxenflask Let’s not forget the massive buyback program that eBay has been running for years. The capital deployed into those repurchases could just as well have been used to pay down debt, reinvest in the platform, or improve the customer experience

  @myrealtorty $EBAY $GME only needs 51% to control the stock what will they do. the longer EBAY stays below 125 the more ebay shares GME will get at a discount and pay them even less for the shares. woops indeed. GME should be going up if EBAY going down. $GME may not need to issue shares

  @BoetMuzzie @CapeTown_Bru @just_norika You won’t even believe it. There was a reseller from Poland on eBay and he had a big collection of rare sports clothing. Was easy for me to buy from him because I live in the EU, so delivery and customs wasn’t an issue

  XRT hammers down GME...but Ryan Cohen is buying eBay also in XRT...the same time that someone is hammering CHWY with 5,000 order blocks also in XRT. So without getting turned into a pretzel you refill XRT and use the GME shares on borrow. @MichaelTLoPiano

  @RDKLInc Shipping on eBay is a big big problem. u are absolutely spot on. 1) Calc shipping is default setting. 2) they need to negotiate some kind of better rates. If you're shipping from a coast it's superrrr easy to get burned shipping to the other coast if you opt for free or fixed rt

  John Bumstead (@RDKLInc) reported 57 minutes ago

  The eBay "mass accidental shipping overpricing" event continues! Sellers accept incorrect default settings and unknowingly set USPS calculated shipping to $75-$200 for items that should ship for $20 via Fedex/UPS. None of these items are ever going to sell! Potentially millions of items. The damage caused is hard to calculate, but it's certainly severe. Yes, the shipping is technically correct for the incorrect size/weight that is a seller's default -- USPS is simply the wrong carrier for items of any size/weight, which they are unaware of. But instead of blaming thousands of sellers for getting the system wrong, how about eBay gets a clue and suggests an optimal shipping method? I.e. "Hey, before you proceed with that, UPS/Fedex would probably be a better option! And by the way, based on all the data we have on what you're selling, are you SURE it weights 50lb and is 20x20x24?" I mean, they are trusting AI in a million bizarre and inappropriate ways, so why are they afraid to use some intelligence to determine proper shipping? In the last 3 months, I have personally walked 50 sellers through switching their shipping to UPS/Fedex and correcting dimensions. But most will not listen and suspect that a helpful buyer is up to something. I only know all this because I am the odd person who scours eBay 3-5 hours a day. This is a big problem, and nobody even seems to be aware of it. Certainly eBay isn't. Either they don't know, or they don't care -- pick one.
