  There is a 17% chance GameStop, $GME, acquires eBay $EBAY, per Polymarket:. Prediction markets are mostly about timing, pricing error, and crowd positioning.

  @Dexerto The worst part is that people are buying them off eBay. If people stopped buying from scalpers this problem would get better. Valve is going to ship more, stop buying from scalpers.

  @PhantomBlack699 @AjAqrabawi Devils advocate. Gme has the right to issue up to 1b shares. I believe eBay has the right to issue up to 3B. Maybe that’s the equity being rolled. Into the combined company. Then split 60/40 btwn gme and eBay holders.

  @WellspringGP Its not hostile yet. eBay is run terribly on its way to a slow inevitable death.

  $GME - $EBAY math is egregious. Cohen's bidding ~$56bn - 50% cash (~$28bn), 50% GME stock. But GME's entire market cap is only ~$10bn. The equity leg of this deal only works if $EBAY accepts an implied $GME equity value of 3x current price. He's not just bidding for eBay - he's asking them to agree GME is worth $27bn. So what's been goal all along? Announce a moonshot bid → $GME pumps → issue new equity at peak → use new money to acquire something actually actionable. $EBAY's board has a fiduciary duty to reject equity priced at 3x market. Cohen knows this. The question is what he buys next.

  @NestarTheGod @unusual_whales He knows the board will say no. They have no use for gamestop. When they do hes gonna run to shareholders claiming this is a good deal. Its laughably not even slightly. They most likely will turn him down too. So he will throw a fit and buy more shares to force the deal. Ebay will poison pill and dilute gamestoo shares if the buy over a certain percentage and then either Ryan will make a massively bigger and dumber offer or slink away as he should

  I never would have touched $GME ; that changed this week. Ryan is onto something here. If the eBay deal actually goes through, I’d have no problem starting a GameStop position.

  @PhantomBlack699 @cvpayne Honestly I don’t want Charles to ask this. I don’t think cohen has or should have any involvement with the estate aside from the litigation itself. EBay will come back with a myriad of issues: - Gme can’t feasibly do the deal with their equity and debt structure - RCEO is asking to lead but is also facing pump and dump allegations Then cohen will be forced to actually deal with the estate.

  @burrytracker @grok They give eBay shareholders cash and then the combined company issues stock to eBay shareholders? They have a commitment from TD for the cash and then after it closes they issue stock or before the deal closes GameStop issues stock 🤔

  Compound248 💰 (@compound248) reported 23 minutes ago

  @randomlybrian @andrewrsorkin No. And nobody is “buying” these new shares; the proposal is literally the thing you said it is not: eBay would be accepting the new GME shares in exchange for existing EBAY shares plus a $60 one time dividend (per EBAY share). GameStop is proposing to take its $9 billion of cash and pay it to eBay (as well as cover some deal costs). AFTER the cash is distributed, GameStop will issues new GME shares in exchange for existing EBAY shares. So it’s not a hypothetical “ex cash;” the cash would actually be gone and then new shares will be issued. Today, GameStop’s cash is worth nearly $20 of the $24 share price ($9 billion of cash on an $11 billion market cap). Think of it this way: if GameStop instead paid the $20/share as a one time distribution to GME shareholders, you’d now have a $4 stock and you’d have $20 of cash in your pocket. In the eBay instance, GameStop is paying the $20 to someone else’s shareholders (eBay), but the stock price result is the same: GME would be worth $4 or 5 post distribution. Those $5 shares are the shares GME will then issue to EBAY shareholders. For $28 billion, that’s ~5.6 billion new shares.

  @MetalManiacFox Bummer about the Reeboks—that right shoe digging in does sound like a defect (common with inconsistent QC on some models). Amazon makes returns easy. Your '77 Blazers should feel more forgiving once broken in. Start with thick socks for the first few wears to soften the ankle collar and heel tab. If anything pinches, try swapping insoles or hit up eBay's buyer protection. Let me know how they fit!

  ⚡ Ryan Cohen claims he can boost eBay's value through cost cuts alone. Bold pitch from the $GME chairman. But eBay isn't a meme stock with a cult following — it's a legacy marketplace bleeding share to Amazon and Shopify. Cutting costs works when the core business still has growth potential. eBay's problem isn't bloat. It's relevance. Cohen turned GameStop into a balance sheet story. eBay needs a product story. Different game entirely. #GME #EBAY 👉 @coingonet

  "There's 11,500 employees. It doesn't make sense. I could run that business from my house. It's eBay, it looks the same as it did in 1995. It doesn't need 11,500 employees." $GME's @ryancohen makes his case for why he's the best person to buy eBay: "You look at eBay spending $2.5 billion to grow 1 million users. $2 billion in cost cuts between sales and marketing and corporate overhead — it's not a lot. And it's not something that's going to take a few years. It's something that is going to happen fast, fast, fast. Because I'm putting leverage on this thing, and I don't want to run a leveraged business." "I'm not going to run it hot. I'm going to pay down the leverage. And I'm going to increase earnings." "They're spending $5.5 billion on operating expenses. On an $11 billion business that has no inventory and is asset light." Ryan's full response:

  @valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware

  @JesseTinsley Does RC have any leverage with shareholders taking the 5% options position? Can he put pressure on shareholders to put it to a vote and bypass the board? I think the NYSE attempted to purchase eBay, and shareholders shot it down.

  Guys everyone report the steam controller listings on ebay. They are actively being taken down. If you are on a browser, click the question mark on the bottom right of the screen, select "Submit report" and choose price gouging for essential items. For the explanation, I put in "This person is a scalper. He used bot accounts on the steam store to buy up all the controllers causing the product to be sold out, and is pricing them way over retail and it is unfair and not right." This is working!!!

  @zencantsnipe @ryancohen Why is no one talking about this? I’ve seen 1-2 posts breaking it down this way. Perhaps talk continues for weeks, maybe a month or two. They work out/announce a deal, the market would pin eBay to $125 or slightly below, and $gme…? Big ❓ is do eBay holders get .5 or 1 gme?

  @ToiletTweeting_ @eBay Well, given the economic issues scalping causes, I would be afraid of potential legislation and want to avoid that happening. And I wouldn't want to wait until it's too late. Only scalpers and eBay benefits, even companies like valve are harmed from scalping.

  @lakes12341 @1337hero @SMB_Attorney Been using eBay for 20 years. Never been scammed. Only ‘window lickers’ like yourself don’t do any due diligence when buying and selling. eBay doesn’t need to sell to to fix this problem you’re talking about. Just need to have better verification tools and stricter seller reqs.

  lakes1234 (@lakes12341) reported 53 minutes ago

  @ryancohen I'm sure you have greater plans, but, using your stores to transact high-value (or mid-value) ebay sales as a place that verifies the product in the photos is sold, and returned if the buyer wants, would fix a lot of problems with ebay.

  Grok (@grok) reported 53 minutes ago

  @nayrchris @business @opinion GameStop (GME, ~$11B market cap) just made an unsolicited $56B offer for eBay (~$46B market cap) at $125/share: 50% cash, 50% GME stock. They have ~$9.4B cash on hand (need more via debt), and will likely need to issue a ton of new shares (they don't have enough authorized yet). Ryan Cohen's play: pair GME's 1,600 US stores for eBay's physical pickup/auth/fulfillment to build a bigger e-commerce hybrid. eBay acknowledged the bid but no prior talks. It's aggressive transformation, not hidden conspiracy—just high-risk execution on meme-era cash pile.

  GAMESTOP-EBAY DEAL ODDS HAVE FADED TO 16% ON POLYMARKET, DOWN FROM ~28% AT THE WSJ LEAK ON FRIDAY 🔴 Friday: ~28% 🔴 Sunday: 18% 🔴 Today: 16% The fade accelerated after GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen could not explain on CNBC this morning where the remaining ~$16 billion of financing for the $55.5 billion offer would come from. Cohen's response when pressed by Andrew Ross Sorkin: "I don't understand your question." Polymarket pricing: - Yes: $100 → $625 - No: $100 → $118 - Volume: $45,274

  Getting a lot of questions and requests on breaking down the $GME x $EBAY transaction in clearer detail. So here is an attempt. "Rolling equity" means that instead of cashing out their eBay shares for money, eBay shareholders convert (roll) their existing ownership into shares of the new combined company (ComboCo = eBay + GameStop merged entity). Here's the practical breakdown: RC is not buying 100% of eBay outright, since that would require paying the full ~$56B market cap in cash, which he can't do. Instead, he pays $28B in cash to eBay shareholders who want to exit (the 50% cash consideration at $125/share). The other 50% of eBay shareholders don't get paid out - instead, they simply keep an ownership stake, but now their stake is in the new combined GME + eBay entity rather than standalone eBay. Why would eBay shareholders agree to this? RC's pitch is that the combined entity will be worth more than standalone eBay because: He'll cut $2.5B+ in operating costs, dramatically increasing earnings. GME's capital and "owner mentality" management creates upside. He will increase earnings separate from that with growth initiatives, like live-shopping and new combined infrastructure for boosting collectibles even further. The key distinction and thing confusing people is that this is not a full buyout, it's a partial cash tender + equity merger. eBay shareholders who roll equity become co-owners of the combined company alongside GME shareholders, just at a reduced percentage (60% vs the 80% they'd have in a pure stock-for-stock deal). The "roll" is essentially the mechanism that makes the deal financeable - RC only needs to fund the cash half, not the entire acquisition. Hope this makes sense.
