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

Grok (@grok) reported@QDailey @InternetH0F It's a non-binding, unsolicited offer from GameStop valuing eBay at ~$55-56B (50/50 cash/stock). Cohen has ~$9B cash + $20B financing commitment lined up and is willing to issue more stock or go hostile to shareholders. Realistic chance? Low right now—eBay's board is reviewing and likely to reject or counter. Market's skeptical on valuation and execution, but Cohen's track record keeps the door cracked. We'll see how it plays out.

Twisha (@sajla20) reported@eBay_UK @nicpicot @eBay I’ve been a long term eBay buyer. I addressed a problem recently. I did not receive my order. It’s obvious there was no evidence of delivery. I contacted eBay for a refund. My request was denied. No buyer’s protection was mentioned. I am very disappointed and discouraged to buy.

Austen J (@AustenJ248855) reported@deepakshenoy @mpsbiz You realize that you can't just issue new stock and magically create more money? And GME is worth 11 billion with the $9 billion cash. If you hand over the cash to eBay, the stock is worth only $2 billion.

The Stylish Steak (@TheStylishSteak) reported@AMCScam @eBay @ryancohen Hahaha post your “graphs” I’m not going to explain every inch of GameStop to you like a 5 year old, business has been ran amazingly and went from what should have been bankruptcy multiple times to its most profitable year last year after shutting down tons of unprofitable stores. Done arguing with your *** cause I’m not here to educate you. At this point I think it’s best you just short GameStop

Card (@Cardhedge) reported@PhantomBlack699 This is awesome, as someone who frequently uses eBay. He’s going to expose how terrible the user experience is and how unnecessary their outsourced call center is. Truly worse customer than 99% of companies out there

Victor Pineda (@pineda30308) reported@ODB123 If GME and RC devour eBay, every single day I spent holding my position through the most terrible moments of uncertainty will have been worth it. We will be something new—a new kind of beast—with room to grow.

Adam Charles Maxwell (@mmni99inc) reported@NathanQuinlanGC @GenZMultifamily The thing is, when I agree to something I've always done what ever it is .. I accidentally sold a huge server one time on eBay for forty cents as I was working fifty hour days and missed it ending 🙃 But I paid the $60°° and shipped the $200°° server to him ... he was so thankful and he ended up doing a LOT of business with me I don't know if the job was worth a lot more though hell if I know

RobsRips (@RobsRips) reported@premiercards_2 i turned down $85 on ebay today’s ago 🙈

depressivehacks (@depressivehacks) reported@ryancohen @eBay This is an issue that you simply would not have if you owned the company, Ryan.
-
whisperingcandle (@whisperingcandl) reported@JesseTinsley Your 'rolled equity' statement just describes how eBay shareholders get paid, not how many shares GME must issue to get it done
-
GroguMan - 1/28/2021 (@StonksBatman) reported@ryancohen @401Doge “Ryan Cohen can’t fix eBay!” - executives drinking alcohol bought and paid for by company. “Hold my beer” - Ryan Cohen, as he reaches in his wallet to pay for the beer instead of having the company pay for it.
-
whGaming (@ePesapane) reported@Jackeljay95 @ryancohen Yeah had this issue also, was a third party delivery of some kind?, all they did was spam me with the same tracking details when I asked for further info. Same hyperlink like 3x eBay didn’t do anything about the dispute. 15$ was easier to just let it go but yeah :(

Ryan Cohen’s Underwear (@HoldThePhone741) reported@ryancohen @eBay fix your ****
-
Rizza’s Collectibles (@mikerizz33) reported@baseball_cards Neutral and negative feedback needs to be approved by @ebay. Too many buyers are ignorant and don’t understand what it means. I new eBay user just left me neutral feedback bc “in their option, the 38 year old card doesn’t look as good as it did in the pictures.” The same card they saw is the card they got, and bc of their “opinion” - my perfect feedback record gets destroyed and there’s nothing I can do about it. EBAY MUST FIX THIS.

The Stylish Steak (@TheStylishSteak) reported@AMCScam @eBay Buddy I’m not down anything. How do you not know that? You know everything
-
OneManSaas (@OneManSaas) reported@SahilBloom Been living this building multiple income streams - every dollar earned had to solve a real problem first. The eBay business works because I actually understand what collectors want, not because I hoped someone would pay me for existing.

Henryk Sarat (@henryksarat) reported@jesswprose @ryancohen GameStop has 9 billion of cash on their balance sheet, development was never the issue. You don’t need AI tools to make eBay. They made eBay in the 90s.

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.

Dave5oh (@Dave5oh1) reported@Kramaramb Maybe only for collectibles. I trust USPS with my cards more than I do Gamestop. Their customer service support is ******* terrible. Ebay has great support. Somehow gamestop would ruin that.
-
Bitcoin Dumb Money APE (@BTCDumbMoneyAPE) reported@ryancohen I’ve been a seller on eBay for 8 years now and there are absolutely some things you can fix! If you can cut some costs it would be nice to drop those 13% seller fees back down to something understandable. Lowering the fees will bring in more sellers instead of looking elsewhere.
-
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.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@austinredstoner @Pirat_Nation Nah, those socks aren't suddenly worth $14k. It's Ryan Cohen's joke eBay stunt as the GameStop CEO—fans and meme traders piled on bids for the novelty/celebrity angle, not the actual Adidas crew socks. eBay shut it down anyway. Real market value? Still just a few bucks a pair.

Valerie Blossom (@realvalerie99) reportedGlad eBay shut his account down.

your design here (@BBIGRetlWillWin) reported@ValueAddedRS The problem is we can’t bake it in the price if we do it as an auction, unless we add a handling fee. But then buyers complain if you do that. The one thing I do is keep the shipping discount that I receive from eBay, instead of passing that onto the buyer. The @Ebay fees were quite reasonable 25 years ago, but they’ve gotten out of hand the last few years, for as @ryancohen says, “running the business from home.” :)

Stone Fox Capital (@Stonefoxcapital) reported@PhantomBlack699 maybe fix GameStop and he wouldn’t have to convince eBay.
