  ⚡ Ryan Cohen claims he can boost eBay's value through cost cuts alone. Bold pitch from the $GME chairman. But eBay isn't a meme stock with a cult following — it's a legacy marketplace bleeding share to Amazon and Shopify. Cutting costs works when the core business still has growth potential. eBay's problem isn't bloat. It's relevance. Cohen turned GameStop into a balance sheet story. eBay needs a product story. Different game entirely. #GME #EBAY 👉 @coingonet

  @lagunabeachjr Where did you find all the A&F quarterly images? So far ive only been able to find a few of the cover images on Pinterest and then ebay is selling some old issues. It seems like you have access to some sort of database

  @big_cookin @tbpn @ryancohen The fundamental issues ebay has with sellers is the sellers who would be sellers but are currently not using the platform.

  @DefiniteVirus GameStop is the acquirer (surviving entity), and eBay is the target. The deal structure involves GameStop issuing a large number of new GME shares (for the stock portion of the $125/share consideration to eBay holders) plus cash/debt financing. The warrants are preserved and continue to function — They do not disappear or get cancelled. Per the Warrant Agreement's "Share Exchange Event" and anti-dilution provisions, they remain exercisable into shares of the post-merger GameStop (now owning eBay). In a merger where the issuer (GME) survives, this is the standard outcome: warrant holders keep their rights to buy GME stock at the $32 strike. Dilution is the big impact — GameStop will issue hundreds of millions of new shares to eBay shareholders (roughly 2+ GME shares per eBay share, depending on the final exchange ratio and elections). This significantly increases GME's share count, diluting the value of existing GME shares and the warrants. The $32 strike stays the same, but each warrant effectively becomes a claim on a smaller slice of the (hopefully larger) combined company. Possible minor adjustments — The agreement has protections for stock splits, dividends, spinoffs, rights offerings, etc. Large M&A-related share issuances typically do not trigger broad price/exercise adjustments unless they fall under specific "fundamental transaction" triggers. The warrants would be adjusted to reference the "property" (cash + GME stock) that GME shareholders receive in any restructuring, but since GME is buying (not being bought), the main effect is dilution rather than a full conversion/replacement. Bottom line for warrant holders: Your warrants survive the deal unchanged in structure and expiration, but their economic value will depend heavily on whether the combined GME + eBay business creates enough synergies/value (e.g., Ryan Cohen's stated goal of turning eBay into a stronger Amazon competitor using GameStop's stores for fulfillment/authentication) to offset the massive dilution. If the stock price stays low post-deal, these $32-strike warrants could still expire worthless even if the deal closes. The deal is currently non-binding and unsolicited (eBay's board is reviewing it; Cohen has threatened a proxy fight if rejected). If it falls apart or changes structure (e.g., becomes a reverse merger or something unusual), the outcome could differ—but under the proposed terms, this is the expected treatment. Always check the final merger agreement and any SEC filings for precise details once a deal is definitive. This is from Grok, not legal advice.

  @RoyalMail I don't know why my order was returned. You said my address was wrong, but you didn't even send me any emails or notifications about the progress of the goods. I had no idea that this order would be delivered these days until I opened the eBay app and found out that my order had been returned. I hope you can help me track down this delivery.

  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!

  The cost cuts aren’t the real story. eBay has a structural problem money can’t fix: trust. Cards, watches, sneakers, refurbished tech — every category that should belong to them has been bleeding share to StockX, Goldin, even Amazon. eBay’s authentication has been a band-aid over a wound. The reason? eBay has no physical footprint. GameStop has 1,600 stores. Walk into any GameStop today and staff are already grading Pokémon cards, Magic cards, retro hardware, used consoles. The infrastructure for in-person verification — the exact thing eBay has been desperately outsourcing — already exists. Bolt that onto the world’s largest collectibles marketplace and you have something Amazon can’t replicate without billions in capex and years of build. Live commerce studios. Card grading hubs. Refurbished tech intake. Local fulfillment nodes. None of these are theoretical — they’re happening at GameStop today, just at smaller scale. The real estate is paid for. The labor is on payroll. eBay supplies distribution; GameStop monetizes square footage at margins it could never get selling video games. This is the part of the deck the bears are skipping.

  @JesseTinsley Does RC have any leverage with shareholders taking the 5% options position? Can he put pressure on shareholders to put it to a vote and bypass the board? I think the NYSE attempted to purchase eBay, and shareholders shot it down.

  CEO stupidity is having a moment Ryan Cohen wants to dilute $GME shareholders to buy eBay at 5x its market cap. $POET named $MRVL as a customer in a public interview violating their NDA. Saylor issues preferred shares at 11.5% to buy $BTC then sells $BTC to pay the dividend. Please let this be the bottom

  The Traders Circle (@XTradersCircle) reported 37 minutes ago

  GameStop just attempted something almost nobody thought possible. $GME ($14B) tried to buy $EBAY ($50B+). Let that sink in. Ryan Cohen is essentially betting he can turn GameStop from a dying retailer into the backbone of online resale commerce. The pitch: • cut $2B+ in costs
• turn GameStop stores into eBay fulfillment hubs
• merge gaming, collectibles, and resale into one ecosystem On paper? It sounds insane. But that’s exactly why the market is paying attention. Because if Cohen somehow pulls this off…It completely changes the future of GameStop. The problem: •financing would be brutal •regulators would swarm it •eBay shareholders may laugh it out of the room •execution risk is enormous Which makes the REAL story this: Was this ever meant to succeed… Or was it designed to pressure eBay into changing direction?

  @oranj0x @RiceRiddler I have bought 10 of these individual cards off eBay and never had an issue. If you make sure you’re buying from a verified seller who didn’t create their account within the last month and you’re not paying half what MV is you’ll have no problems

  @PalmyrPar To their credit, it appears that they're targeting scalpers and getting their ebay listings taken down (and hopefully blacklisting them).

  @TeeCGGaming 70% of the “pool” goes to groups spamming side event entries or buying tickets. Money hack? Yes. Good prizing? No. BotRK has 2 $1.5k listings on eBay and 0 sales, so t8 without best-of is terrible regardless. All while Riot charges 1M+ in entries for the weekend. Poppy hahahahaha

  @tbpn @AnjneyMidha as someone who sell luxury used goods on eBay, how this would change everything selling luxury used goods on ebay is great but there’s so much that can be improved upon and it mainly stems from authentication issues and trust. when you sell something on there like a Louis Vuitton handbag authentication issues offered either for a fee or for free depending on if it meets a dollar amount threshold at time of sale, that’s not the problem— the problem with this is time, the seller first has to send the time to ebay after sale to have the item authenticated (which takes forever), then the item is shipped to the customer. this time deters a majority of potential sales because people want to know what they’re buying is real. this is why we have seen reputable luxury consignment businesses scaling over the last few years bc they can offer a faster turnaround time to the customer but that comes at a heavy cost to the seller usually 25-40% 😵‍💫 having the ability to do in-store authentication will not only fix that timing issue on the front end but would also drastically improve ebay’s trust issue with the consumer we know people love ebay, we know consignment services for luxury used goods is scaling, if Ryan can fix ebay’s trust issue with the consumer and create a way for sellers to sell items faster this will generate sales like ebay has never seen. this is the part of my tedtalk where i remind you that used goods sales are skyrocketing. given the current state of the world and macro economic tailwinds people are buying and selling more as way to weather the storm. gamestop at times is kinda like a **** shop offering in store credit sure but most people don’t realize they offer CASH for items on the spot. idk if that would play into ryan’s plan down the road to expand offering cash instantly for trade ins on goods besides retro gaming and collectibles but this could be another very very very lucrative piece to his vision most people are completely missing. LONG $GME LONG $EBAY LONG @ryancohen

  @eBay_UK @nicpicot @eBay I’ve been a long term eBay buyer. I addressed a problem recently. I did not receive my order. It’s obvious there was no evidence of delivery. I contacted eBay for a refund. My request was denied. No buyer’s protection was mentioned. I am very disappointed and discouraged to buy.

  @bigbridealguy GameStop can’t even correctly manage selling just vintage video games on their own site, let alone managing all of eBay. This company can’t even be bothered to provide shoppers with condition information. And don’t forget that GameStop buys fakes from customers all the time because the company is clueless and has terrible systems. How could GameStop possibly improve eBay when their own site is a worse experience than Joe Schmoe’s default template Shopify site?

  @CluelessCardGuy have only good experiences tbh. eBay protection works really well in case of issues. Always check seller reviews, previous sold items, etc. before making any purchase. Reviews are everything and give you an enhanced peace of mind. I’m a seller on eBay too, and reviews matter a lot imo.

  I’ve seen a push for #nopsamay we need to start a no buying wax on eBay. Here’s what will happen, botting will slowly stop. These cases were $1700, if nobody buys on eBay, the cost will go down to retail, the botting will slowly begin to stop. They want to make a quick buck, if they can’t sell immediately it’s no longer worth it, if they sell for retail after a month, the botting will dry up and supply will be there for everybody. @CardPurchaser @BosCardHunter
