  @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.

  Michael Burry exits his entire $GME position. The "Big Short" legend just dumped his FULL GameStop stake after Ryan Cohen's $56B eBay acquisition announcement. Burry was loading up on $GME in January 2026, buying at 1x tangible book value with a massive thesis. $GME is down 10% after the Burry sell-off!

  @unusual_whales GameStop down 9% today after dropping that $55B+ offer for eBay. Investors looking at the math — a ~$12B company trying to swallow something much bigger with heavy dilution — and saying “no thanks” for now. Bold swing, but Wall Street wants to see how this actually pencils out.

  I'm still considering why Ryan Cohen has taken a softer approach with his activist campaign into the acquisition of eBay, in comparison to the aggressive approach he used with the proxy fights in GameStop and Bed Bath & Beyond, despite this being an enormous and transformative investment There's theories about it being a lucrative swing trade, if eBay refuse or begin a bidding war, the price increase means $GME can sell their $EBAY derivative options at a huge gain However I can't see a long term seasoned investor like Ryan putting the company's money on the line on a whim, or his reputation on the line just incase The soft approach appears to be, a covert threat, that we can take this through a proxy fight with shareholder voting if you wish, or allow me to subdue the company and turn it into a bigger, streamlined, cost controlled business with the 135M+ global core customer base. The next few weeks will be interesting, if a pre-merger agreement is filed then we could see it close by the end of the summer. If GameStop have any other catalysts that drive the share price up in the meantime, the acquisition cost would be drastically lowered with the excess capital. The compensation package is anti-dilutive, meaning the targets will be adjusted proportionately, so I believe any extra capital raised will be using some form of Issuer Sponsored Tokenized Securities, free from manipulation and held directly by GameStop. The unlimited money glitch. Game on.

  rnewton (@rnewton7777) reported 12 minutes ago

  Not an analyst. Not advice. I'm probably wrong as always. eBay almost certainly says yes to this deal. $125 is hard to turn down. Today was essentially the market trying to influence eBay to turn it down. Notice how it got priced today like a dilution. Because it is. The deal becomes something like: Every 1 share of eBay becomes $62.5 + 2.5 GME. The board would be pretty crazy to turn that down. Even if GME is trading at a premium, you could discount it down significantly and it still works out very favorably. For GME shareholders that means outstanding shares must grow. Outstanding Shares: 448m Convertible Notes: 144m Warrants: 59m Cohen Compensation Package: 171m Total: 822m of 1b Authorized Proxy should release soon with an ask to increase the authorized shares to accommodate the deal.

For those that were worried my calls would get assigned this week, that might still happen.

  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!!!

  Roaring $GME (@ElonsTusksGME) reported 14 minutes ago

  @Btcbulletbulion @TheLongInvest You must not have read it either. They already have a 5% control of EBay along with call options (which will have gone up quite a bit since they started acquiring them back in Feb). GME currently has over $9 in cash and equivalents. There is also outstanding warrants at a $32 strike for October. TD has committed $20B in funding. And then they have around 600M shares till to issue before hitting the 1B that shareholders have approved. I mean if I can find out this, the people who are performing an interview on a finance news show could too. These people have shown nothing but disrespect towards GameStop and Ryan Cohen as he’s turned the company around. I’m delighted he treated them with the same today.

  POLYMARKET ODDS OF GAMESTOP $GME ACQUIRING EBAY $EBAY JUST DROPPED TO 18%, DOWN FROM ~30% EARLIER The market is fading the deal even though Ryan Cohen is reportedly preparing a formal offer. For context: • GameStop's market cap: ~$12 billion • eBay's market cap: ~$46 billion • GameStop is preparing to make an offer for eBay as soon as later this month, per the Wall Street Journal • GameStop has been quietly building an eBay stake ahead of the offer • The deal would be part of CEO Ryan Cohen's plan to turn GameStop into "a $100 billion plus juggernaut" The market is signaling that even though the offer is coming, traders don't believe GameStop can actually close a deal at nearly 4x its own market cap.

  @JosephCobraKai @just_k_j @andrewrsorkin Nope. Because you have to take the $20 of cash per share that it is paying to eBay out of GME’s share price. That leaves you with shares ex cash worth ~$5. Then you issue more like 12 ex cash GMEs per EBAY share.

  Scenario 3: eBay shareholders force the board’s hand GameStop makes the offer. eBay’s board tries to stay calm. They call it unsolicited. They question the stock component. They question the financing. They say they will review it carefully. But then the shareholders start doing the math. GameStop is offering $125 per eBay share. If eBay’s market price is sitting well below that, the board suddenly has a problem. Because shareholders do not care about boardroom pride. They care about the premium. That is where the pressure campaign begins. Large shareholders start asking the obvious question: “If you think this offer undervalues eBay, show us the better plan.” Now eBay is trapped. The board can reject GameStop, but only if it can prove eBay is worth more on its own. That means they need to explain how eBay will unlock more value through buybacks, growth, marketplace expansion, collectibles, advertising, AI tools, payments, or a better strategic partner. If they cannot show that clearly, shareholders may start pushing back. Then the activists enter the room. They do not need to love GameStop. They do not even need to believe the deal will close. They only need to believe the offer has exposed a truth: eBay may be worth more than the market is giving it credit for. Suddenly, GameStop’s bid becomes less about GameStop buying eBay and more about eBay shareholders forcing the board to act. Accept the offer. Negotiate a higher price. Find a better buyer. Spin off assets. Increase buybacks. Do something. Because once a premium offer is on the table, silence becomes dangerous. That is the real nightmare for eBay’s board. GameStop may not have to win immediately. It only has to make eBay shareholders ask why the board is saying no. $GME $EBAY

  $GME GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen just confirmed GameStop has been accumulating $EBAY shares since February and now holds 5% of the company. Cohen says GameStop could fund a full eBay bid using half cash, half stock — and would "issue stock to get the deal done." The math is wild. GameStop is worth ~$12B. eBay is ~$46B — 4x larger. Cohen is essentially proposing a minnow swallowing a whale. Michael Burry says the move "makes perfect sense." $EBAY already up 9.78% in extended hours to $114.25. $GME down 1.55% at $26.12 — market is pricing in the dilution risk immediately. Bold move or the most ambitious bet in meme stock history. Either way this is not a normal Monday night. Not financial advice.

  @PolymarketMoney @Polymarket GameStop’s ambitious $55B bid for eBay was always a stretch with its ~$12B market cap. Odds now down to just 18% — the market is reminding everyone that ambition is one thing, but the math and massive dilution required are another. Still a wild story to watch.

  🤯 THE MEME COUP: GAMESTOP OFFERS $56 BILLION FOR EBAY - HOW IT'S BEING FINANCED! A company that hedge funds wrote off four years ago officially offered $56 billion yesterday for one of the world's largest online marketplaces. Ryan Cohen confirmed this exclusively in today's Wall Street Journal. GME is offering $125 per share for eBay. Cash and stock. A 20 percent premium over eBay's Friday closing price, with an implied valuation of $56 billion. For comparison, GameStop itself is valued at around $12 billion on the stock market. The minnow wants to swallow the giant, which is five times its size. What makes the WSJ story particularly interesting: GameStop has already bought 5 percent of eBay. Silent accumulation since February. And Ryan Cohen has a commitment letter from TD Bank in his pocket, $20 billion in debt financing. Plus $9 billion in cash on the balance sheet. Around $27 billion remains outstanding, which Cohen says will be raised through a new share issue and potential investor consortia. If eBay's board rejects the proposal, he will go directly to the shareholders. @ParikPatelCFA made the most absurd statement of the day: "GameStop will now own eBay just because a guy named Roaring Kitty posted about the stock on WallStreetBets in 2020." And he's right. Without the 2021 squeeze, there would have been no capital increase; without a capital increase, no war chest; and without a war chest, no eBay bid today. Most people have a superficial understanding of the story from back then. At the beginning of 2021, GameStop was a dying video game retailer. Steam and digital downloads had finished off the business. Hedge funds like Melvin Capital had shorted so massively that there were more shares shorted than were even in circulation. Then came r/WallStreetBets. Keith Gill, known online as Roaring Kitty, had been posting his position for years. In January 2021, his YouTube streams turned into a revolt. Hundreds of thousands of small investors bought simultaneously. The price jumped from $20 to $483 intraday. Melvin lost $4.5 billion in two weeks and later shut down. Robinhood simply stopped the buy button mid-squeeze. A scandal to this day. But hardly anyone talks about it anymore. GameStop itself was clever enough to monetize the hype, issuing new shares and raising billions. That's precisely the money being used today. The question remains: why eBay of all companies? At first glance, it makes no sense. The stock has traded sideways for 25 years; Amazon dismantled it. But @BurnTheFed summed up the move so well on Twitter: "They're going for trading cards. eBay owns TCGplayer, the largest secondary market for cards. And there are rumors that GameStop is also buying PSA, the card grading monopoly. If that goes through, they'll control the entire secondary market for trading cards." That's the real plan. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, trading cards, memorabilia. The hottest collectibles market in the world, vertically integrated. ... Cohen told the WSJ, verbatim, that he's considering transforming eBay into a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. That's blatant self-interest. Cohen's pay package will pay him $35 billion in stock if he grows GameStop to a $100 billion market capitalization. Acquiring eBay isn't a random target. It's the only way to trigger this package. Michael Burry also weighed in today on his substack. He openly stated that he had expected more than eBay and had posted his own list of targets back in February. But he supports Cohen. When Burry publicly joins the deal with mixed feelings, the signal to the market is clear. The skeptics aren't silent.

  Mark Valorian (@markvalorian) reported 56 minutes ago

  The more you think about this, the crazier it gets: Ryan Cohen is essentially making an offer to sell a majority interest in GameStop to eBay. In order for this deal to work, he would have to issue over a billion shares. Current GME shares outstanding is ~450M. That means current shareholders will be diluted to less than a third of the company and current eBay shareholder would own ~70%. You could argue this may be a good deal for eBay, but it’s hard to make that case for GME. You may be able to, but it hinges upon a compelling case as to why this acquisition would make the merged GME+eBay entity significantly more valuable than the sum of their parts…which makes the CNBC appearance even more perplexing: That was Cohen’s opportunity to sell this insane looking idea to his shareholders. His chance to convince them why they should authorize such a dramatic dilution of their equity. But instead, he just goes on all indignant and plays the petulant teenager, too good to answer any questions or offer any perspective on a deal that looks just plain stupid at face value…which means… Ryan Cohen is essentially betting that GME shareholders are so stupid that he doesn’t even have to lift a finger to get them to vote against their best interests. And it also means the CNBC team was probably right on the money to bring up his compensation package because—from my vantage point—the most logical explanation for this is just a technical ploy for Cohen to qualify for incentives and receive some kind of windfall at the expense of current GME shareholders.

  Ryan Cohen went on Squawk Box to defend a $55.5 billion offer for $EBAY. He could not explain how he was paying for $16 billion of it. The math is the entire story. GameStop's market cap is roughly $11.9 billion. Cash on the balance sheet, $9.4 billion. Add a "highly confident" letter from TD Securities for $20 billion, a soft commitment, not locked financing. Total firepower tops out near $40 billion. The offer is $55.5 billion, half cash, half stock, at $125 per share. That leaves a $16 billion hole. Cohen kept saying "we'll see what happens" while pointing at the website. This is where retail and institutional read the setup completely differently. The bull case: Cohen built Chewy and sold it for $3.35 billion, runs lean, and argues eBay's earnings could double under tighter cost control. eBay did roughly $10 billion in revenue last year and is widely seen as under-managed. Even half that operational lift, and multiple expansion alone covers a chunk of the gap. The bear case is louder. The funding gap is real. The "stock" half means GameStop has to issue tens of millions of new shares, diluting holders heavily. eBay closed at $109 against the $125 offer, the market saying the deal probably doesn't close. GameStop dropped 8 percent on the interview itself. The structural difference from a normal hostile bid: Cohen's pay package is tied entirely to the stock price. He has every incentive to swing for transformational deals because his upside is uncapped and floored at zero. Shareholders are riding that asymmetry whether they signed up for it or not. This is the meme stock CEO playbook meeting real M&A. Becky Quick had the cleanest line: "Where is the rest of the money coming from? Andrew laid it out clearly." He didn't have an answer. The market noticed.

  I think I’m gunna stop selling TCG, specifically Pokemon on eBay, out of most of my sales, the only ones that have had complaints (past my doing) are my Pokemon buyers. One card went to the UK and they gave me a 4 on my shipping cost (I sit a 4.8 now from that) 100% across the board on my other sales. No issues, shipping prices are the same. Now I have a card that was clearly shipped, as tracking shows that, they want a refund, and they blamed USPS, OR the label applied… Buyer is upset that the item went to another state, that’s beyond my control. I don’t deliver the item lol. Oh well. Can’t win em all but you can set yourself to.
