  @AskPayPal Yes but how? I'm really stuck, by the way i can make purchases on eBay and Aliexpress, but i can't acess my account since even the only link you gave to me is not working for me. So i don't know what to do.

  @tm1515152005 1. Use higher promotion/ad percentage(7-10%) when you first start. Just have to suck it up and eat the cost, or stuff just won’t sell. After you get over 100 good reviews start dropping that percentage over time. It’s not needed as much. 2. Don’t expect eBay to have your back when it comes to problems with buyers. You are always “wrong”, even when you’re right. Just be ready for that

  Bro if gamestop buys ebay...wouldn't they own TCGplayer too? Its my understanding that Ebay owns TCG so gamestop would have the entire secondary market of TCG sales cornered. I cant see that but being anything except terrible for buyers or sellers

  @zerohedge GameStop acquiring eBay would be a wild full-circle moment (retailer buys marketplace) but Amazon doesn't need eBay's junk inventory problem. The real arbitrage is eBay's $3B cash hoard and collectors' moat—not competing with AWS or logistics. $GME gets a reve

  @Dwillis566 @0hour1 Ebay works fine, though. I use it often, it doesnt need a new modern layout with a bunch of useless animations and overlays slowing down my experience. Amazon has the flashiest, newest UI out there and its a god damn *********** that is terrible to navigate...

  @spectatorindex GameStop about to buy eBay?! From “dying mall store selling used PS2 games” to “we’re acquiring the entire used goods internet empire” in one meme cycle $GME bros: “I held through $40 to $4 for THIS? Worth it.” Roaring Kitty wakes up: “Finally, a place to sell my 47,000 Funko Pops at a profit.” Next: Buy one broken controller, get one slightly haunted Beanie Baby free. The squeeze that became a takeover is the most 2026 thing ever

  @TheNeonGreek @DiscussingFilm You think fees would go down under GameStop ? Hell no. eBay charges fees comparable to other online marketplaces. And here’s the most important part items actually sell consistently on there.

  I have never had so much trouble buying an AI computer as I have had with Amazon. Several fraud warnings, customer service has no power to fix anything, money is charged but on hold. I am cancelling our corporate account with Amazon and dealing directly with eBay from now on. We will buy our 80k a100 cluster from eBay instead. I have never seen so much money ******* in “suspected fraudulent orders” in my entire life. Big fail @amazon @eBay @grok is Amazon known for being highly neurotic followed by useless with customer service for large orders?

  @michaeljburry Ebay is dying imho. They changed so much over the years just to keep users. Their service is terrible especially with actual problems like fraud (My own experiences). Gamestop could do the same on their own without taking Ebays burden. Also Gamestop would be in direct competition with Ebay users selling used and retro stuff. So it is then the choice of selling to Gamestop who resells or going somewhere else. Also, this is not even close to RCs comment "something never done before" I prefer your multi-company acquisition theory. It makes more sense investing in other undervalued companies and join forces. Much more likely to be 10x fast then simply using ebay as sales channel. That could even reduce the combined value at least temporarily.

  @Pregory1 They won't. They will issue new shares and cash, Weeds was prob pretty close with the 400m shares if they use their cash and equivalents. And if the eBay shareholders don't see Cohen's vision, they'll dump that shares. My best guess..

  @YourMainDude Yeah some are on eBay already. Looks like they're looking into alternatives for distribution, like taking down people's info from the event to get them the promo later. It's a hot mess lol

  @walterfootball well, eBay stock went down almost 10% last week due to Claude launching an AI agent market place. this little one day move in the stock would wipe out the whole equity of GameStop if they put up 5 billion usd in cash for the buyout? it’s a bad comparison because a home price should in theory be more stable.

  If any claim could convince me that an "Iraqi Hacker Group" is nothing of the sort it's the idea that eBay is somehow critical to an illegal US War effort. Not sure who's attacking Ubuntu but it's not revenge for killing the Ayatollah. I'll put $5 down on Ukraine, given timing.

  Darko Pavic (@DarkoPavic) reported 42 minutes ago

  @WSJ I do think eBay has to do something. To be honest, I am somewhat surprised that it is still as visible as it is. Its relevance seems to be decreasing, and the business feels like it has been stagnating for a long time. On the other side, GameStop also needs to act. Its competitors are very strong players, and its strategy has not really changed in a meaningful way for years. So yes, both companies need to do something if they want to stay relevant and survive. But merging these two businesses? I do not see how that would create the desired success. Two companies with relevance problems do not automatically become one relevant company just by joining forces. A merger can create size. But size is not the same as strategy. And strategy is exactly what both of them need.

  I’ve read GME × eBay theories Financial fanfiction in Excel 👉 Nearly impossible deal 👉 Bad timing (warrants) 👉 Massive dilution TRS will magically fix everything. Realistic scenario: 👉 GameShire Hathaway 👉 stakes (eBay & others) + opportunistic deals Not this nonsense

  the $GME meme stock arc was supposed to end with retail holding the bag and a slow fade back to fundamentals. instead we have a $9B cash bid for ebay. - gamestop has been quietly building a stake in ebay for months ahead of a formal bid, per the WSJ report - gamestop ended last quarter with ~$9B in cash and investments, nearly double a year ago. funded mostly by $4.2B in convertible notes issued during meme stock rallies plus $597M in free cash flow - ryan cohen telegraphed this on CNBC in january, calling it "transformational for capital markets," which is a wild thing to say out loud months before actually doing it - the strategic logic actually works. gamestop pivoted hard into collectibles (pokemon cards, sports cards, comics). ebay's collectibles vertical does billions in GMV. there's real overlap, not just financial engineering - the math is the hard part. $9B in cash plus an existing stake doesn't get you a $40B+ company. cohen would need a major premium and massive financing, or a stock-heavy structure that depends on GME shares holding up after announcement - this isn't normal M&A. usually the bigger company buys the smaller one. here a meme stock used peak-euphoria dilution to build a war chest specifically to flip into a real strategic deal years later. cohen's chewy playbook scaled up - ebay popped 9% on the report, GME up 3%. the market is pricing this as ebay-favorable, which tells you something about who they think gets the better end of any deal that actually closes

  @srqbanker @rogerrogerspor1 @eBay After item arrives, and assuming it’s not rejected by, eBay Authentication it is a done deal for the seller and becomes eBay’s problem. Seller is clear of any requirements. This includes when an item is “lost” at authentication.

  thanks to corporate inertia and ossification, @eBay is actually worse to use today then the 2000s. got an issue? likely needs a specialised team that isn't available 24/7 and only responds with generic solution emails. need a refund? sorry, don't do partial refunds and you have to send the item back at your cost. item misrouted? no worries, we wait until _after_ the ETA to notify the carrier so a 1 week delivery ends up the better part of 2 months.

  A bit of a shocker, but there is a fit is in secondhand culture: used games, consoles, collectibles, trading cards, refurbished electronics, sneakers, hobby goods. GameStop's heritage is pre-owned. eBay's core is pre-owned. Thats the bridge. But the asymmetry is weird. eBay is the real business. GameStop is the financial wrapper, meme capital base and management vehicle. This would be closer to a reverse acquisition in economic substance: eBay becomes the engine; GameStop becomes the story Where is the leverage, then? $EBAY has network effects and operating leverage. $GME has brand attention and shareholder base. Combining them only works if Ryan Cohen can turn attention into lower CAC, better seller growth, and a sharper vertical strategy. But financing will be a problem The bull case is boiled down to GameStop uses eBay as the base layer for a global collectibles and gaming marketplace, adds community, authentication, loyalty, digital wallets, seller tools and maybe tokenized/verified ownership. That could be interesting.
