  @SolveableSea @CardPurchaser Funny you should ask. It’s attached to my profile but all my eBay listings got stolen this weekend so I had to take most of them down. I’ll be putting more up this week.

  You mean you don’t want to work for less than minimum wage? That being said, if I’m already working from home and you just want me to buy things on eBay using your money, not terrible.

  @ManehattanStonk @leadlagreport Half cash (~$27.75B) + half stock (~$27.75B) = $55.5B offer. Cash side: $9.4B on hand + up to $20B TD financing = $29.4B. Covers it. Stock side: Issue new GME shares worth ~$27.75B to eBay holders (at $125/share equivalent). Math adds up via new debt + dilution. Execution and premium are the real questions.

  I’m just checking in to say that I have made contact with a human being at @eBay thanks to the help of @pdemp12! It took over an hour to convince the bot to let me speak to an agent and I found myself nearly losing my mind but I finally was able to tell them that the parcel never arrived. They said it’s outside of the EBay window so they can’t do a refund but they will report the seller. I guess that is a start?!!! The seller doesn’t have an address or phone number or even an email address listed on their EBay shop so it’s going to be hard to track them down but I think I will try! They have 100% positive feedback on EBay which is interesting! If anyone is in Australia 🇦🇺 please tell me if you have bought anything from them?

  eBay makes a surprise takeover bid for $GME and the stock drops. Makes no sense until you look at the terms. Cash plus stock deal at a 15% premium to pre-rumor price, but the stock had already run 40% on speculation. The market is pricing in regulatory risk - the FTC has blocked 3 of the last 5 retail M&A deals over 5B. GameStop short sellers are covering, not doubling down. The real trade is not GME. It is whoever supplies the infrastructure these two would combine.

  @ValueAddedRS @ryancohen Don’t worry. If eBay doesn’t sell, Cohen will build the competitor that takes them down. He’s getting free exposure making his case for why eBay should fail. Users and staff are listening. The best ones will stay if eBay sells. They will leave for what Cohen builds if not. Last time he built an online platform, he needed human coders. And still beat Amazon. He’s already got the plan. But he’s honorable enough to give eBay a chance to save themselves and their shareholders.

  @foxenflask @ryancohen The Vulnerability of Gen Z Commerce The specific nature of Depop’s marketplace makes it an ideal target for these activities. Unlike the stable pricing seen on platforms like Amazon, Depop relies on "hype" pricing where a standard shirt might sell for hundreds of dollars based on perceived social value. This volatility, combined with the use of atypical payment methods like Venmo and Apple Pay, makes it nearly impossible for automated systems to distinguish a "fake" transaction from a legitimate Gen Z fashion trend. In conclusion, while there is no evidence of corporate complicity, eBay has acquired a platform that is structurally vulnerable to being a playground for transaction laundering. The massive loss Etsy took on the sale may suggest an acknowledgment of these deep-seated operational risks. eBay has doubled down on a high-risk asset, betting that the brand facelift provided by Depop is worth the potential for regulatory and financial exposure.

  Let me try and explain what this means (for those in the back). 1. $GME pays 50% of the eBay acquisition costs in cash. This buyout pays existing eBay shareholders (if they choose to do so) $125 for their stock 2. Authorized shares are what the company CAN issue, but are not yet issued issued. 3. If approved, GME can issue another 1.5b shares 4. Instead of selling those to the market which causes dilution, the plan is to ROLL them into ebay by exchanging current shareholder stock OF eBay with an equivalent number of GME shares If you're holding eBay shares at the time of acquisition, your stock will be valued at $125 per share. If GME is valued at $25, you'll receive 5 shares of GME in exchange. New stock is not being issued and sold in the open market (this time)... its exchanged 5:1 ( $GME : $EBAY )

  I’m not even a Grader, only ones I’ve gotten were from a mystery box on eBay. PSA takes you out back & whips you but you keep going back after allllll the controversy and terrible practices. TAG isn’t perfect but at least the ai can continue to get better. Slabs look better too

  @OldMechGaming @SomethingClassc Absolutely! Also, I was having trouble getting the website to work. I believe it's not working right now because the Owner is away. His primary business is on Ebay and his Profile page says the Seller is Away until May 31st. I think that might be why his website isn't working right now. You can see that blue ribbon text on top stating he is away right now. Maybe set a reminder to check back the beginning of June. Tons of cool shirts you'd probably like!

  Look @ryancohen you should hire me to do healthcare for GME and eBay. I could use DPC, DSC, direct contracting - with physician-led enterprises - and Cost Plus Drugs (@mcuban) to drive your healthcare costs way down. Mercer (2025 National Survey): Average total cost of employer-sponsored health insurance = $17,496 per employee (~$1,458/month). Employers expect ~6.7% increase in 2026 → >$18,500/year. eBay has ~12,000 employees. GME has ~4,000 employees. We can turn your expense into an asset, spin this off into its own enterprise in 24-36 months, and make money by actually saving corporations money. Thank you for your attention to this matter! **(I’ll do it for half cash, half stock)**

  @justbuilding @LememeJames Never had a problem with subbies and toppies. I also never had a problem with eBay standard shipping and using a top loader. Ive submitted at shows where they looked over the cards and put them back in toppies and submitted.

  @rhensing It's actually 3 now that I think about it. One is 5 years old, the 2nd is a used one I bought for $350 on eBay that arrived broken with the same problem but the seller says it was fine (they lied), and the 3rd is our charger at work. The work one might have warranty still... I'll try it. This is clearly a defect, frustrating that there isn't a fix. I wish I had the time to dig in and diagnose.

  Hi @Shripriya - Since you are a board member of eBay, I wanted to share some concerning feedback. I consistently have people purchase higher value my cards whether it’s an Auction or Buy It Now, and immediately request a cancellation within minutes of the purchase. This is happens because the item will show under sold items, regardless of refund. It creates the perception of high comps. There’s been multiple occasions when I did not receive a refund of seller fees and/or promoted listed fees although the cancellation alert says that I will. Some have also be refunded as well. The one rare occasion when I was able to get a hold of Customer Support, they stated it was a known bug — that was months ago. Now, it’s impossible to get a hold of CS because eBay only offers the Help and FAQ page now. This is especially damaging for auctions because there are other people who bid on the card. I sold nearly $50,000 in cards last year and I’m ranked a Top Rated seller. Beyond the archaic platform having issues, I’m disappointed that I don’t have a way to contact a human when needed. I’m more concerned about the integrity of the platform since cards that are refunded still shown as sold. I’ve also had promoted listings get $0 votes, but I still end up being charged. Does eBay still count that as revenue? The card hobby brings me joy, but a bad experience such as this takes away from it Since I can’t get a hold of anyone, should I just reach out to @ryancohen since he’s more committed to the success of the business than eBay’s own exec team? I’ll bring receipts to show that this is factual. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Steamy Regards, Dean

  @RaminNasibov I don’t think I’ve ever had my issue solved by AI or human when I’m trying to get answers on Amazon or eBay. I do find, however that I’m extremely polite with saying thank you, etc, even when I know it’s AI. It’s very weird , I know. Am I the only one lol

  @BradGreb @WallyBuckLive @ryancohen Elon needs a massive E-commerce engine for X, and building one is too slow. Buying eBay via $GME is the ultimate shortcut. ​RC wipes eBay’s $2.4B marketing bloat by moving it to X. X Payments becomes the backbone. With the Sultan’s backing, $100B Market Cap is the blueprint.

  @PositivFuturist @PrimeVideo I've been buying blu rays and boxsets on eBay for so little money it's ridiculous. Amazon streaming quality is the worst of them all, whatever way they are encoding dark scenes is a complete disaster. They started messing with audio mixes too which predictably was terrible.

  Dean Gillberry (@FartieFrenchie) reported 59 minutes ago

  @ryancohen @natsturner One of the big challenges on eBay right now is people will purchase a card, and immediately request to cancel it. This happens because the card will still show as “sold”, so it inflates the comp prices even if you refund the card. It also doesn’t show the actual sale price if you accept a lower offer. Sometimes there is a “system error,” and the seller fees aren’t automatically refunded, even when the buyer is the one that cancels. I’ve lost out on countless fees because it’s such a hassle to go through support. This only happens with sports cards for the most part. A credit card should be on file there should be auto pay to prevent this. The example below just happened today, and is the 3rd time this week a high value card has been cancelled. @eBay Are you going to step up to the plate and make improvements, or do I need to pull my listings and start selling my cards to eBay?
