  @PhantomBlack699 @birdzone24 @ryancohen GME holders cannot live on fresh air. We are entitled to make a profit the same way as Ryan Cohen makes profit on Apple stocks. It is not cool the way the GME holders are expected to live on a fresh air and go broke watching a billionaire talk about his baby in eBay, you can correct me if I am wrong explain to me how GME holders are meant to survive when the stock keeps going down. I know delusion was supposed to believe a billionaire.

  @vvvvioll And then returned to the seller. When I tried to contact them, I found that their eBay account was entirely gone. $80 USD down the drain… I did end up getting them from Best Buy a few years later though!

  @xMarketNews The people against GME & their holders are pumping into EBAY to make the buy impossible.. so holders lose faith and sell, which in turn lowers the stock, driving the nail further. This is the slow GME death they were looking for, and RC gave it to them on a silver platter.

  Important to note: seller reports of being randomly charged ad fees for months old orders started coming in on June 6, 2025. Date on the eBay community staff "system error" post: June 12, 2025. So it took 6 days for $EBAY to come up with that nonsense, making this a perfect example of not only predatory ad practices but terrible customer service too. 👎

  @Chase sucks! And we will be removing our business' banking from there if they don't fix this problem right away. We had a sophisticated hack on our computer in March. And they charged over $40,000 to our card. With over 20 transactions. They had control over our computer remotely. They also used our Amazon eBay and Etsy accounts which were logged in to try to purchase other items like gold bars and Amazon gift cards and a $3500 computer. But those companies all knew it was fraud and they canceled it. There were $35,000 in charges directly to the credit card were for a Hong Kong, social media company. Chase just came back to us and told us that they were not going to cover it because they say we clicked on accepting it through our email as a valid charge... we did not do that! the person that had remote control over our computer did it! they were logged into our email there and remotely operating our computer! All the charges happened at midnight. We woke up at 7 AM to alerts for all these charges, and when my husband tried to deny them, it kicked back and said that they were already approved and he couldn't deny them. So he went in to the bank, and the banker said he could take care of it, and he was going to reverse the charges. Well yesterday, somebody from Chase fraud department called and said that we're on the hook for the charges, because it came from our IP address!!!! We tried to explain to the person that it's because they had remote control from somewhere else in the world of our computer because it was a hack. And that us going in the next morning, bright and early as soon as they open to tell them that it was fraud should have been enough. Because that's what the banker told us! We don't do business in China so why would we want to pay a Chinese company? We don't do business at midnight because we're asleep! We filed a police report, but we had not kept the hacking evidence because the bank had assured us that it was going to be reversed. We wiped that computer and haven't been using it. If there's any information still on that computer that might show that it had been hacked before, that I can access still, if somebody can let me know how that would be appreciated.

  @Kaaroth @mikee_degen I have two thoughts on this: eBay is 99% institutional owned (or 89% institutional with a 10% insider who is likely hostile), and tender offers are actually even more challenging in these dominations. It’s extremely rare that institutions participate in tender offers or voice support for activist campaigns. This makes a tender offer right now extremely, extremely challenging. Point 2: I actually think we get a huge market crash immediately in 2027, right after midterms. In the scenario where the market tanks, eBay is down >40%, Ryan keeps the $125 offer on the table, and the board has received bad press for 6+ months that is tarnishing their reputation - they are effectively forced to sell the company at that point. And in this scenario, if they don’t sell, a tender offer has a much higher chance of success. This is imo a high success chance outcome that is in a realistic timeline. Just wanted to pass along my two cents, I did a lot of research and brainstorming with grok on tender offers, and this is the scenario where it can succeed. Going to a tender offer though in a couple month when the share price is around $110 and the board is still hostile? Surprisingly that has historically a very low chance of success

  @userofintellect I'm pretty sure Cohen still plans to buy Ebay - he looked quite determined. BUT I also had a suspicion that was his secondary objective, the first being to have short make a mistake. And it looks like they made that mistake on Monday. $56 bn (!!!) market cap 'glitch' on BRK-B...

  @alt_w_v_g I still sell stuff on ebay. I'm not a big company. I don't pay anything extra on top of standard fees. I have no issues. You and RC are yelling at clouds while ebay grows revs, does buybacks, pays dividends, gme shrinks revs, dilutes, charges for a dividend

  Feeling down enough, then a (eBay) return cancelled out the profit I made from the buyer who bought three items (same one who bought an item I couldn't find). I write detailed descriptions, no AI for me. Color, shape, size, a brief history if I know it. That piece of jewelry that was returned was expensive for its size. Yet despite the detail the buyer "just didn't like it" and it was "too small". Now I'm worried that it will happen again. Like I said I'm just a small time seller on SSDI & can't absorb that much of a return like big sellers can.

  @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @ryancohen Ok, Ryan, whats plan B. Do you have another idea? Lets face it, eBay rejected the offer. Cohen says he'll fight. That fight takes 12-18 months minimum through a proxy process ... filing, campaigning to institutions, waiting for an annual meeting, winning votes, then renegotiating. Meanwhile the core GameStop business keeps shrinking. Revenue down 44% over 4 years. And if the deal eventually happens? Merger arb traders will short GME down to improve their exchange ratio. Existing shareholders get diluted. The $9B is real. Cohen's track record is real. But this is not a short-term trade and it never was. If you're holding... know what you're holding. A long-term bet on one person's capital allocation ability over 2-3 years with real execution risk.

  @alt_w_v_g Just my 2 Cents, but a big problem plaguing eBay right now is sellers who drop ship items from Amazon. Any seller that does this, I give them a neutral review. At one time, I went out of my way NOT to buy from Amazon, and it pi$$ed me off!

  @ValueAddedRS Hey Liz. Have you considered that eBay was just a valuation trap? Ryan used eBay to officially validated GameStops $20billion TD letter as legitimate by turning down the offer. So in public’s eyes ryan has $20 billion plus $9 billion. He’s buying the DK Buyterfly Inc shell.

  $GME My 2 cents about GME buying eBay. 50% cash 50% stock. If GME market cap $10B and Ebay's $40B, so it's 20/80 split, but as GME pays out 50% cash it bring us to 80/2 = 40%, so in the end 60/40. 60% GME shareholders and 40% eBay's in the new company. The stock portion is $27.75B (half of the $125 offer). Case 1 (basic): GME has 450000000 shares outstanding. To keep the 60/40 split GME need to issue 300000000 new shares to the eBay shareholders. $27.75B / 300000000 = $92.50 implied issuance price. Total after deal = 750000000 shares. This gives the NEW company $69.375B market cap and share price after deal = $92.50. Case 2 (diluted): Including the 144000000 Senior Convertible Notes + 59000000 Warrants = 651000000 total GME fully diluted shares. To keep the same 60/40 split GME needs to issue 434000000 new shares to eBay's people. $27.75B / 434000000 = ~$63.94 implied issuance price. Total after = 1085000000 shares. This gives the NEW company $69.375B market cap and share price = ~$63.94.

  @Pirat_Nation “The physical disc would likely stop working afterword.” Cool, so make a digital copy, ruin the physical release entirely, now you can either scam on eBay or have a working copy and charge 20x the price, making piracy a bigger issue than ever before. Brilliant…

  @ermiasbraki Everything I have posted about in the last 2 weeks is something I've been reporting on for ~5 years. So no, I'm not just chasing "the attention economy" but yes I am happy to see some of the longstanding culture, governance & other issues at eBay getting attention they have deserved for some time. Importantly - most of those issues have been completely ignored by legacy business & financial media for years. Maybe someone should ask them why?

  SimpleMan🏴‍☠️ (@SimpleMan887) reported 58 minutes ago

  @Stonkfather2021 that's true. but our counter party needs to hedge the risk and in theory is buying the underlying asset. If we take the money, not shares, they will have to actually sell the shares and that will bring the eBay price down while in theory strengthening our balance sheet in the process.
