Purps (@Purps911) reported@eBay @WPG92657 2 Billions spent, cant fix your main account out of office.

FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reportedSold out in minutes, eBay listings right on schedule, and Valve's fix is... an actual line. Reservations, one per account, 72 hours to buy. Amazing how fast scalping looks solvable when a company decides players should get first crack at the thing.

NoiseToAlpha (@noisetoalpha) reportedThis is peak $GME theater. But under the meme layer, the market still has the same question: What is the actual strategy? A $56B eBay bid already raised capital allocation and integration questions. Now the CEO getting suspended from eBay turns the whole story even more chaotic. For investors, the issue is not whether GameStop can generate attention. It always can. Right now, the entertainment value is high. The underwriting clarity is still low.

@Zia (@Zia_11_11) reportedI found the fix @ebay So long as you don’t include “Ryan” and/ or “Cohen” in any listing, you’re safe. $GME

Ali Zuberi (@alizuberi) reported@ryancohen eBay suspending the one guy publicly running auctions to help buy them out is peak ‘community at risk’… from the boardroom Turning socks into a hostile-takeover signal is next-level. This is why retail investors love RC — he actually uses the platforms he wants to fix. Legal standing + momentum? Acquisition arc just got spicy. Thoughts on the DPA angle?

Paul f wood (@Paulfwood1) reportedGameStop publicly proposed to buy 100% of eBay for $125 per share (about $55.5 billion total equity value). This is a 46% premium to eBay's price before GameStop started buying a 5% stake in February 2026. The offer breaks down as: 50% cash ($62.50 per eBay share) 50% GameStop common stock ($62.50 per eBay share, with full election rights so eBay shareholders can choose more cash or more stock, subject to pro-rata limits) Cash portion funding (the part that actually requires "money"): GameStop already has $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments on its balance sheet (as of Jan 31, 2026). It has a "highly confident" financing letter from TD Securities for up to $20 billion in third-party debt/acquisition financing. That covers most of the cash needed ($27–28 billion total cash outlay). The rest would come from the mix of cash/stock elections. Stock portion (this is the "using eBay equity" part the poster is mocking): GameStop will issue new shares of its own stock to eBay shareholders. eBay shareholders aren't just selling out for cash, they swap their eBay shares for cash + ownership in the combined GameStop + eBay company. In effect, they keep a stake in eBay's future value, but now through GameStop stock (since GameStop would own eBay outright). This is a standard cash-and-stock merger structure. It's not "using eBay's stock" in the sense of GameStop magically grabbing existing eBay shares it doesn't own. It's using the equity value of eBay itself as part of the purchase price. Former eBay owners get to participate in the upside of the larger company (which the market may value higher due to synergies, scale, etc.). Simple analogy (from meme-stock community explanations) Think of it like this: Owner of Company Orange (GameStop, smaller market cap) wants to buy Company Apple (eBay, larger). Instead of paying 100% cash, Orange offers: Half cash (from Orange's pocket + borrowed money) Half ownership in "Orange + Apple" (a much bigger combined company). Apple owners get some immediate cash plus they now own part of the bigger entity that still includes all of Apple's value. Orange shareholders get diluted (more shares exist), but the total pie grows dramatically from $11B (GME) to $55–58B combined. That's why Cohen says "half cash, half stock" repeatedly, the stock issuance doesn't require GameStop to raise another $28 billion in cash; it transfers ownership stakes instead. Why critics call it "using eBay's money and equity" The math only closes because eBay shareholders are effectively financing part of their own sale by accepting GME stock in the combined entity. Some analysts have pointed out a potential "$14 billion hole" depending on how the market prices the post-deal company and how much stock actually gets issued. Cohen's interview came across as evasive to some because he didn't walk through the dilution math live, he just kept saying "details on the website." Bottom line: This isn't some impossible or fraudulent scheme. It's a classic leveraged buyout + stock-swap acquisition that smaller companies use to buy larger ones all the time (with debt + equity issuance). Whether it actually happens depends on eBay's board/shareholders accepting (or GameStop going hostile), regulatory approval, and market reaction. GameStop has already filed the required 13D and HSR notices.frustration seems to stem from skepticism about the financing realism and Ryan Cohen's style common in meme-stock circles where GME moves are watched intensely. But mechanically, it's straightforward corporate finance. @ryancohen I've got your back bro.

Paul Carl (@paulcarldigital) reported@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.

The Stylish Steak (@TheStylishSteak) reported@AMCScam @eBay Did I say that? I think cohen has down amazing so you obviously aren’t talking about me. Get back to the point, why are you dismissing this document? Ohhhhhh just like you dismiss everything that doesn’t fit your narrative from your 4 graphs

Tulio (@tulius) reported@unusual_whales Economic downturns are great for eBay, as people start selling their foreign-made crap. Big numbers ahead. The problem is the constant squeeze on merchants for every little drop of profit, like Etsy.
-
John David (@AaronJo87253424) reported@Kyl0Z3n No. He will acquire someone else and transform that business and eBay will stagnate until someone else buys it and strips it down and sells it off for parts
-
The Stylish Steak (@TheStylishSteak) reported@AMCScam @eBay Buddy I’m not down anything. How do you not know that? You know everything
-
Goodness And Mercy (@FineAndRich) reported from Manhattan, New YorkGameStop 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.
-
Matthew Thomas Bernell (@ImmanentFlux) reported@CardsPumpkin @jacob_prokarym It’s that they became irate and insulted me when I turned down 70%. Like bro, I have turned down 90% multiple times. It’s weird how you hear the same stuff on repeat “you’ll never get market” and “after eBay fees that person only got 85%” Just another day scalpin

PokeDash (@certifieddasher) reported@eBay I actually thought I was the only one having issues with eBay. I guess not. I been tryna bid on this PSA pokemon card but @PSAcard wouldnt let me bid on any of its cards listed. I contacted both PSA and eBay but no one is responding. EVERYONES ON VACATION!

felipe pancho villa hernando Cortez jr (@Gorillllapimp) reported@ThePPseedsShow @squeezistChrist I made a post about this the other day when $GME was being attacked after the eBay announcement. I’ve never seen so many $GME $bbby $iep $amc $teddy community members come together, put personal beef to the side, hold the line and talk **** back to these clowns talking down on our stock.

ELY M. (@ely_m) reported@ryancohen What happened to your socks listing? Can you screenshot the email that ebay sent to you? I really hate ebay's censorship!!!!! would you fix and fire people who do censorship.

Saksham Kaushik (@sakshamkauzhik) reported@ryancohen "eBay really said 'this guy is too based for our community' Suspending the one guy who's actually trying to fix your dying platform by buying it and turning it around. Free Ryan Cohen. Time to acquire and clean house @eBay "

M B (@MB7712262331396) reported@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.

T Bell (@BellTerryNEBC) reported@bruce_mcgonigal EBay should stand down His SOGI policies led to Jesse Strang murdering a bunch of kids in Tumbler Ridge EBay may as well have pulled the trigger . The TR massacre is on him

GamerGhosts (@gamerghosts) reported@BlueShell3D @Shopify I've had issues on eBay recently, particularly with anything that deals with a company that sounds like Lintendo. Custom decals and labels get an instant take down. Consoles with any quality of life improvements, gone.

Heath Veuleman (@HeathVeuleman) reportedLook @ryancohen you should hire me to do healthcare for GME and eBay. I could use DPC, DSC, direct contracting - with physician-led enterprises - and Cost Plus Drugs (@mcuban) to drive your healthcare costs way down. Mercer (2025 National Survey): Average total cost of employer-sponsored health insurance = $17,496 per employee (~$1,458/month). Employers expect ~6.7% increase in 2026 → >$18,500/year. eBay has ~12,000 employees. GME has ~4,000 employees. We can turn your expense into an asset, spin this off into its own enterprise in 24-36 months, and make money by actually saving corporations money. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
