  Here's a recap of the past seven days in $GME Friday - WSJ "leak" the rumour about GameStop acquiring eBay post market Monday - Rumour is confirmed to be true, GameStop issue a press release and the stocks react, $GME down 10% and eBay rises. Ryan Cohen has a hostile interview with CNBC, treating them like the dummies that they are, simultaneously becoming a meme for his patronising "half cash, half stock" response, a genius move in free marketing. Sultan Almaaded, who met with Ryan Cohen in 2025 posts a meme stating he would financially back such a deal, to acquire eBay. Michael Burry sells his GME position, and is unfollowed by Ryan Cohen Tuesday - Ryan Cohen continues the media tour with a much friendlier, but short interview with Charles Payne This is followed by a longer more detailed interview with TPBN, he reveals that he wants eBay to be his baby and that he could run it from home, he also mentions that the eBay board are not happy with his involvement. Wednesday Ryan calls out the lack of purchases by the eBay board, only sales to the tune of $120M over the past five years. Ryan Cohen starts listing items on eBay, under the username ryan5050 to help raise money to acquire eBay. Each listing comes with a signed copy of the Activist letter sent to the eBay board This causes Ryan to be suspended from eBay, and a lengthy customer services call Thursday Ryan continues the public onslaught at eBay, criticizing their happy hour and free alcohol, the case of Security Directors harrassing and indimidating members of the public and their misaligned priorities, despite spending $2.4bn in marketing Form 425's are being filed daily with any relevant public communications posted on X and mainstream media. The media tour continued today with an interview with Business Insider and a 40 minute YouTube interview, Let's see what next week brings in this amusing and entertaining investment, will Ryan continue the games? Will Roaring Kitty returns? Will Jake cure his chlamidya? Game On.

  @FartieFrenchie Literally wrote "sent to EBAY," in stock. Literally. GME has enough cash, it doesn't need more than it has plus TD's marker. What it NEEDS is a higher stock price to justify the other $28 Billion they NEED to GIVE TO EBAY to AFFORD the "half stock" portion. It can't be any more clear: -10B Cash -20B TD -29B Stock (which they only have half of TODAY) If Cohen dilutes AT CLOSING w GME at $24, 550m shares (maximum allowed) he only raises $13B to give to Ebay in STOCK. He's short $15B. Exactly the issue and exactly why the stock must DOUBLE to fulfill this problem. The dilution happens FROM GME, AT GME's STOCK PRICE, AT CLOSING. This is why Sorkin pressed him on the $15b.

  COHEN'S $EBAY BAN CLAIM CRUMBLES AS ACCOUNT STAYS ACTIVE $GME CEO Ryan Cohen claims eBay axed his account after a $56B buyout proposal, but a quick check shows his profile still fully active with 100% feedback. 🔹 Posts screenshot of "permanent suspension" for "putting the community at risk" 🔹 Burry jumps in: "GME’s Play for eBay just went hostile" 🔹 Reality: Cohen's live profile still boasts "I’m selling stuff on eBay to pay for eBay" 🔹 Ban drama looks like glitch, reversal or Cohen's latest troll move

  @sierrastrades I don’t understand how eBay rejecting can cause a gme squeeze. This is if gme issues more shares? Isn’t this diluted? Eli5

  The public eBay page also carries trust signals buyers are trained to like: 100% positive feedback, hundreds of sold items, and a seller account dating back to 2012. That is exactly the problem. An old account is not proof of authenticity. Positive feedback is not proof of authenticity. A Beckett or PSA sticker is not proof that the jersey in the listing is real.

  @Pirat_Nation Ebay seller here. Ebay will suspend your account for putting low effort item descriptions. This includes titles. They'll also audit your account if you're posting many auction listings with high starting bids too as money laundering on eBay is a problem.

  @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 :(

  @jesswprose @ryancohen GameStop has 9 billion of cash on their balance sheet, development was never the issue. You don’t need AI tools to make eBay. They made eBay in the 90s.

  Man, $XRT is still struggling with all the $GME volatility. I don’t want to hear anyone say that xrt isn’t affected by GME anymore. You gotta think tho, would state street, vanguard and blackrock really want this deal to go down with eBay? All 3 own a lot of both companies and they would probably have the final approval from eBay’s side. They probably love eBay the way it is, kick backs and all? Vanguard and blackrock own a lot of $UBS too. Conflicting interests if there’s a squeeze.🤔 What would happen with GME legacy shorts? Would the new GME/ebay cusip relieve them of their short positions? Or would it be gme3?

  @rorysutherland I don't want them to be successful at this (and therefore charge 10% more) success for my friend involves buying badly described and photographed good things, and polishing up the images and description to sell at a profit on ebay. I want my Amazon prices held down thank you!

  @victoriamary (@Victoriamary) reported 51 minutes ago

  I’m just checking in to say that I have made contact with a human being at @eBay thanks to the help of @pdemp12! It took over an hour to convince the bot to let me speak to an agent and I found myself nearly losing my mind but I finally was able to tell them that the parcel never arrived. They said it’s outside of the EBay window so they can’t do a refund but they will report the seller. I guess that is a start?!!! The seller doesn’t have an address or phone number or even an email address listed on their EBay shop so it’s going to be hard to track them down but I think I will try! They have 100% positive feedback on EBay which is interesting! If anyone is in Australia 🇦🇺 please tell me if you have bought anything from them?

  PayPal has lost its mojo—and the numbers don’t lie. PayPal is losing the world it helped create. Once the undisputed king of online checkout, PayPal is now fighting for relevance in a world it helped create. Its branded checkout growth cratered to just 1% in Q4 2025, a sharp plunge from prior rates around 6% in earlier periods. Overall revenue grew modestly (~4%), but missed estimates, contributing to a brutal stock reaction and ongoing pressure. The Competitive Squeeze: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are eating PayPal’s lunch, especially with younger, mobile-first users. Seamless, wallet-native experiences on phones are winning over the old “Pay with PayPal” button. Apple Pay is closing the gap fast on U.S. users, and the habit shift is real: fewer shoppers are defaulting to PayPal at checkout. This isn’t just cyclical. PayPal’s active user growth has slowed dramatically (low single digits annually), transaction take rates have declined over the years, and competitors like Stripe are outpacing it in key areas. The digital payments moat PayPal once enjoyed has been commoditized by Big Tech integration and smoother alternatives. Historical Echoes Analysts and longtime observers point to 2002 as a symbolic turning point: 👉the eBay acquisition closed, 👉Peter Thiel exited the same day. What started as a scrappy, innovative disruptor became tied to an auction platform before eventually spinning out. The brand still carries legacy strength, but it lacks the cultural spark and developer momentum of its early days. The AI Pivot: Too Little, Too Late? PayPal is now on a reorganization push under new CEO Enrique Lores, talking up AI, automation, cost savings (~$1.5B targeted), and becoming a “technology company again.” It’s streamlining into three business units and investing in ads, crypto, and Venmo. The big question:👇 Is it enough? Guidance for 2026 has been cautious amid macro headwinds and competition, with shares reacting negatively at times. Execution will be tough against entrenched Big Tech players who control the devices and platforms where payments happen. PayPal still has scale, a strong brand, Venmo, and a massive user base. But “mojo” was about being the default, the innovator, the future. Right now, it feels like a mature company defending turf rather than conquering new ground. The market is watching whether this AI/tech reset can restore growth or if PayPal becomes another fintech cautionary tale—profitable but permanently de-risked and de-rated. What do you think—turnaround story or slow decline? #PayPal #Fintech #Payments

  @ryancohen ebay is horrible, terrible to its account holders! I've been trying to get my money out since 2021. they restricted withdrawals because I had issues selling back in 2020. I got sick with COVID and couldn't ship packages out in time, so bad reviews locked the account. I haven't sold in 6 years, and told them to restrict my account from selling, but release my funds. I don't care; I'll never sell again. Every time I call @ebay to amend the issue, they clear the account restriction and assure me the money will be transferrable...then their system reverts back to restricting withdrawals! I understand your frustration; they're awful. I'm at the point where I'm considering hiring an attorney to sue them, but the $8,700 probably isn't worth it. This is unfair.

  GameStop trying to buy eBay for $56B is the most hilarious "minnow eating a whale" energy I have ever seen. Ryan Cohen really looked at a company 4x his size and said "I can fix her" with $2B in cuts. This is either the heist of the century or total madness.

  @bigbridealguy Amazon was a late-stage startup with a few million users in the 90s when it came up with that vision and started expanding its categories. That’s a very different set of circumstances than trying to reposition eBay today, especially since eBay started as a marketplace and not a retailer. Amazon tried to copy eBay and do auctions. They failed. When people think “online auctions” they think eBay. Amazon tried to copy Etsy with handmade goods. They failed. When people think “handmade” they think Etsy. This is’t an execution problem, it’s a brand problem.

  @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.

  @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.
