  How I'd run Gamestop / eBay Live Shopping Yesterday I broke down why Cohen's $56B bet on eBay is actually a bet on live commerce. Today I'm telling you exactly how I'd run the creator and live shopping side, because eBay's been failing at it for three years... What you need to know: 00:00 eBay's failure 00:18 Deal recap & the problem 01:21 eBay marketing & my experience 02:33 What is broken 03:07 GM of eBay Live Caroline Pougnier 05:02 Embarrassing production 06:34 How eBay / Gamestop Live should run 15:08 Legacy retailers & live shopping TLDW: - eBay spent $2.4B on sales & marketing in 2025 to add 1M net active buyers, Whatnot did $6B in GMV in 2025 with a fraction of that spend - what's broken: affiliate program, GM of Live telling people to stream elsewhere, embarrassing production execution, sellers who aren't comfortable live - the fix: build streaming-as-a-service into the highest-paying live commerce gig in the creator economy, tier the creator program by audience size, 1,600 GameStop stores become streaming hubs & a moat, build a show not just a platform, etc. Whether or not the acquisition closes, Cohen publicly betting $56B means live commerce + creator partnership thesis is now mainstream Every legacy ecommerce platform (eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Etsy) will be doing this over next 12-18 months Tag @ryancohen & tell him I can help his creator relationships & live shopping lol (jk)

  @deepakshenoy People confuse market cap with cash value during M&A all the time. It is a simple math exercise, not a trick question. The real issue isn't the dilution logic, but whether GameStop can actually integrate a business like eBay without destroying its own balance sheet.

  @ryancohen @eBay is garbage and full of scammers selling used or broken crap. It's not even on my list of sites that I'm willing to buy things from.

  @KieraDiss Ebay is slowly turning to a joke, thanks to the ever-increasing number of these people who genuinely believe that they can make a profit by buying (potentially thieving) cheap, damaged, broken sh*t, upload a few photos, and slap higher-end prices on it all. A big problem is that they have no idea about the stuff they are selling. Many of them have jumped into the used digital camera market. They lie about condition. Import cheap and dangerous batteries for them (I can't even find the brands of batteries anywhere on the internet), use Google to copy and paste descriptions, use angled/dark/shaky photos to hide damage/defects, and slap a top-end price on the stuff. And many don't just limit their sales to cameras... And if you ask them questions, you get NO replies. Not because they can't speak English, but because they can't use Google to copy and paste an answer regarding item-specific questions, like how much use it has had, what the shutter count is, does it make certain noises/crunches (indicating issues)... The list goes on. It's a joke. And they are not just limited to cameras. Be weary and check seller details. Even addresses can give a clue. Avoid buying any sort of tech from them, especially if it uses rechargeable batteries or mains electric. They don't even understand the significance of posting **** with, "Comes with original accessories", when you can clearly see that it's a camera/phone/tablet being sold with an Amazon Firestick plug and Samsung case when the item is made by Sony... They are literally flooding eBay, slowly but surely, and raking in money from clueless people... And I reckon it's the reason that eBay have this week, sent us sellers a list of new policy changes regarding earnings, declarations, taxes, charges... Because a lot of these tw@ts are running full-scale operations whilst claiming to be small, private sellers. Oh, and beware the ones selling Nike trainers... About 80% of what I have seen this week alone are either fake or stolen. Learn to spot the fakes and learn to check the details. A "trusted eBay seller" has usually had their account for more than a few weeks and will have a significant amount of feedback. It's not just the car boot sales where these fckers are taking the p*ss with second hand/dodgy goods.

  @rorysutherland I don't want them to be successful at this (and therefore charge 10% more) success for my friend involves buying badly described and photographed good things, and polishing up the images and description to sell at a profit on ebay. I want my Amazon prices held down thank you!

  @DaveInJordans @nadr0j117 This is actually a small win in the end. By eBay forcing the refund, he will also get a strike on his account. This affects his listings on the algo, but also opens him up to suspension for repeat issues. You won’t get the card, but they get away with cancelling via a loophole

  @FusionptCapital We can’t only own the Mag 7, but we can recreate them in the aggregate. eBay and GameStop can take down Amazon. Just nobody will give them a chance.

  @sideshowblobz @SkyDaddyPhDTE It’s not that serious bro. You’re yelling, cursing, and typing a paragraph over my comment that I enjoy using EBay a few times a year. You are the problem with this world. People like you. Miserable ***** who just sit on the internet angry for no reason.

  Watching the $GME discourse unfold is something to behold... @ryancohen is right about ebay but it doesn't even matter. His army of fans have shown they will ride with what he says. Think that is worth noting aside from any governance issues w/ ebay.

  @ThePPseedsShow @tspencer322 @eBay He would make a killing off this deal and probably get paid to not work. Problem is... someone is likely pulling the strings/calling the shots above his paygrade. ... and we know "the system" can't let $GME succeed.

  @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.
