eBay Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jack Niewold 🫡 (@JackNiewold) reported@swmartin19 if you buy ebay, you now own ebay + gamestop so you can go out and borrow $46 billion because lenders know that you will own ebay and its cash flows, which you can use to pay the loan itself they're loaning money against the asset GME is buying (kind of like buying a house) if the cash flows don't support the full loan, you can issue new shares against the organization or use more cash

Bitcoin Dumb Money APE (@BTCDumbMoneyAPE) reported@The3Antons I think eBay is a perfect fit for GameStop especially with our partnership with PSA. If it’s mismanaged he can fix leaks and make it better. I’m a seller on eBay too it would be nice for some fees to get cheaper. I believe in Ryan.

Jarrod (@Coyote_Operator) reported@robplaisance @tigerjoker84 The issue is 1. Not getting scammed with eBay and getting some bs item and 2. Avoiding getting non-authentic merchandise.

Del (@FullScopeWelds) reported@BoomerDivvies I think 20 to 30 is good. It depends what you need it for. I never had a high one on mine. I just turn it down. Then I got burnt when I was trying to buy a $20,000 welder off eBay...

Big J State48 🇺🇸💚🌵📷🏜️🐕 (@JHinesSr) reported@_ElectricBoogie No never seen those before but if they are on ebay supplies page for sale I guarantee you want too much for them! We're selling sub $1 cards here ebay come on I can't pay $.25 per envelope! If I can't get my envelope costs down to below one cent then I'm doing it wrong!

NaiveAnalyst (@naiveanalyst7) reportedCohen took a “dead” gaming retailer, rebuilt it from scratch, turned it into a $9B cash vehicle. During and interview in May 2025 he said: “I like looking where no one else is.” Exactly when NFTs were declared dead by everyone — and when eBay had already shut down KnownOrigin.

Mewshirebathaway (@Celestine618) reportedConnecting Jake's DD to the eBay news got me feeling 🍻 If @jake2b is correct, GameStop would quietly acquire the DK-Butterfly-1, Inc. shell (the post-bankruptcy successor to Bed Bath & Beyond) for a modest sum, inheriting its billions in preserved NOL carryforwards that were deliberately shielded from IRC §382 limitations via the Chapter 11 ownership-change exception under §382(l)(5) (as evidenced by the Deloitte fee dockets and restructuring work he has repeatedly cited). This clean tax vehicle—potentially executed through a §368(a)(1)(G) Type G reorganization where the new entity issues shares as substantial or full consideration—would then merge with or serve as the acquisition platform for GameStop’s already-announced eBay takeover bid: Ryan Cohen’s team would submit the formal cash-and/or-stock offer (built on the stake they’ve been accumulating), using the combined ~$5B+ NOL tax shield (BBBY’s plus GME’s) to offset massive future taxable income and deal-related gains, slashing the after-tax cost of the $45B+ eBay purchase and instantly creating a tax-efficient e-commerce/collectibles giant. The play would unfold rapidly in the coming months—shell integration first for the NOL unlock, followed by the eBay closing, regulatory approvals, and synergies—transforming GameStop into the $100B+ consumer powerhouse Cohen has telegraphed, with legacy BBBY holders potentially participating via warrants or distributions while the entire structure cements RC’s activist legacy through a deliberately engineered “nesting-doll” strategy that bypasses normal tax and ownership hurdles.

realsunsfancards (@nmtimpone) reported@Pittsburgh1Pete I think this would be great, but don’t think they would ever allow it because it strips too much money away from the platform. I just built a chrome extension to fix this though. Surface comps on the stream, show me if it’s on eBay for cheaper, good buy vs bad, etc. happy to share it with whoever wants to check it out (realsunsfancards on IG)

𝙆𝙔𝙇𝙀 𝙈𝘼𝙉𝙎𝘽𝙍𝙄𝘿𝙂𝙀 (@KyleMansbridge) reportedUnable to download 'Listing Quality Report' on @eBay_UK... the amount of issues on site right now is completely unacceptable @eBay. Sort your **** out! How ******** do you expect us to run a business when the tools are not working? Relisting inactive listings and scheduling is taking ages to actually action. Bank holiday weekend should be booming. eBay Live has failed, end it. Let it run on Depop. The servers cant handle it. Buyers are not flocking to it. It's a failure. Read the room and bin the nonsense. We do not need a two tiered platform.

Jim fertitta (Big J) (@JamesFertitta) reported@bigbridealguy you are down 20% on a card the second you buy it if you rely on ebay to sell it. It's just not practical.
