  I think the eBay purchase could be great. On the other hand I also believe that it’s a news story to cover the algo run. Would be a perfect let down if DFV were to challenge RCs compensation package and sway public sentiment. Based on Kevin’s recent remarks I think there may be an attempt on Keith’s part to push against that vote. I fully intend to vote in favor.

  @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.

  $GME is preparing an offer to acquire $EBAY. GameStop market cap: $12 billion. eBay market cap: $46 billion. GameStop cash: $9 billion. GameStop long-term debt: $4 billion. So a $12B company with $5B in net cash is going to buy a $46B company. Got it. The math is going to be fascinating to watch. Let’s talk about Ryan Cohen’s performance so far… THE CLEAR FAILURES THE NFT MARKETPLACE (July 2022 – February 2024) • Launched July 2022. First 48 hours generated $3.5M in trading volume. • Partnered with blockchain platform Immutable X. Digital Worlds NFTs committed up to $250M in IMX tokens to support the ecosystem. • Built a dedicated blockchain engineering team around it. • Sales collapsed: $77.4M in 2022 → $2.8M in 2023 (a 96% decline in one year). • GameStop’s own SEC filing in March 2023 admitted NFT sales were not “material” to annual earnings. • Officially shut down February 2, 2024, citing “continuing regulatory uncertainty.” THE CRYPTO WALLET (May 2022 – November 2023) • Launched May 2022 as a self-custody wallet for crypto and NFTs (Chrome browser + iOS app). • Was supposed to be the on-ramp that made the NFT marketplace work. • Shut down November 1, 2023, citing “regulatory uncertainty.” • Lasted about 18 months total. • The blockchain team was largely laid off. THE CEO PICK — MATT FURLONG (June 2021 – June 2023) • Cohen personally recruited Furlong from Amazon Australia to lead GameStop’s tech-forward transformation. • Furlong was the public face of the NFT/crypto pivot. • Fired without explanation in June 2023. No replacement announced at the time. • Cohen took over as Executive Chairman, then CEO in September 2023. • Cohen’s hand-picked CEO lasted exactly two years. THE HARDWARE / ACCESSORIES PUSH (2022 – 2024) • Cohen pushed the company into gaming chairs, TVs, and gamer-branded peripherals to diversify beyond games. • Most analysts now describe this as a “short-lived push.” • Revenue continued declining every year through the period the strategy was supposed to be working. STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVEN’T BEEN FIXED REVENUE KEEPS FALLING • Q1 2025: $732M, down from $881.8M YoY (-17%) • Q3 2025: missed estimates • Q4 2025: $1.1B, down from $1.28B YoY • The retail business is in secular decline. MASS STORE CLOSURES • 590 stores closed in fiscal 2024. • 295–410 more closed in early 2026. • Store count: 2,915 (Feb 2024) → ~1,598 today. • Roughly 45% of all stores closed in 2 years. THE $35B COMPENSATION BACKLASH • January 2026: Cohen granted performance-based stock options worth up to $35B if market cap reaches $100B. • Drew significant public criticism given simultaneous store closures and layoffs. THE PATTERN Cohen has had one repeating playbook for 5 years: identify a hot trend (e-commerce/tech in 2021, NFTs in 2022, crypto wallets in 2022, Bitcoin in 2025, transformational M&A in 2026), announce GameStop’s pivot into it, raise capital on the announcement, then quietly shut it down or move on to the next narrative when it doesn’t generate operating returns. The eBay rumor is the 5th major pivot announcement in 5 years.

  GameStop is buying eBay Spirit airlines shutting down Oil $100 Sp500 ATH MAN WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE. 🙏

  Premier Gaming Authority (@PGAuthority) reported 12 minutes ago

  @KobeissiLetter Why? GameStop wants to shut down your ability to sell your games cheap online. Once they shut down eBay, they can command used game prices. It’s their #1 competitor. If you can’t beat them, buy them.

  Honestly surprised these ETBS aren’t under MSRP on eBay yet My theory there’s nothing to buy MSRP so $65 is close enough for people who need there fix With the two new sets coming out there’ll be enough ppl will get there fix and these “boring sets” will fall under MSRP online a month after all 3 are release Just my theory

  Interesting. eBay $EBAY has been having site wide issues for almost a week now. Some speculate major DDoS attacks. And now today Game Stop $GME is preparing an offer to acquire eBay and stock prices jump.

  @TheBronxViking "Stock Swap This is the most likely path. Instead of paying cash, GameStop would issue a massive amount of new shares and give them to eBay shareholders. The Math: GameStop would offer eBay shareholders, say, 4 shares of $GME for every 1 share of eBay. The Result: After the deal, the former eBay shareholders would own about 80% of the combined company, but the entity would still be called "GameStop," and Ryan Cohen’s management team would remain in control."

ROI: 204% 300+ items sold. Started with trial & error. Now it’s becoming a system. Buying better.
Listing faster.
Letting volume and margins work together. The bigger days are showing up more often, but even the slower days stay profitable. That’s the shift. Still early. But this is building. Let’s grow!

  @skunkapecards @CardPurchaser Know the eBay policy… they have time to pay. Not a good way to treat customers. Definitely risking bad feedback and other issues as customers can say they never got the package and freeze your funds until resolved.

  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

  @thisisorlando Ebay is going down slowly, they need to fire the whole board and save the platform. But ebay will probably charge fees on the acquisition, wont be any money left
