  Are we ever going to get a fix or update on this eBay data lag?

  Randylus (@randylus) reported 9 minutes ago

  The first item ever sold on eBay (then known as "AuctionWeb") was a broken laser pointer, sold by founder Pierre Omidyar in 1995 for $14.83. The buyer, Mark Fraser, purchased it specifically to repair it and knowingly bought it in broken condition.

  Are you guys trying to figure out the deal with $EBAY ? I can help you with math on this one: $GME does not have enough cash even with TD backing. $27.75 billion would be paid in new GME shares. That's close to 1B new GME shares. Adding eBay's $55.5B equity value would reprice GME to reflect the blended value. You see the issue in acquiring a company 3-4 times your size? AKA: $GME drops initially off huge mechanical dilution to... mid-to-high teens. 🫣 But you could have seen that coming if you just did some simple VPA...

  @srqbanker @rogerrogerspor1 @eBay After item arrives, and assuming it’s not rejected by, eBay Authentication it is a done deal for the seller and becomes eBay’s problem. Seller is clear of any requirements. This includes when an item is “lost” at authentication.

  @WatcherGuru Interesting that this offers happened to take place a few days after serious issues on the eBay platform.

  @INDOGLOBALDESK @NoLimitGains GameStop isn't paying full cash for the $55.5B deal. It's 50% cash (using their ~$9.4B reserves + up to $20B in new debt financing from TD Securities) and 50% newly issued GME stock. eBay shareholders get a mix; GME gets to issue shares at a premium valuation while targeting big cost cuts and synergies (like using GME stores for fulfillment). It's a non-binding proposal so far—board/shareholder approval needed. Classic leveraged acquisition play.

  @MTSlive Please no. Scalpstop will destroy what’s left of eBay. It’s already terrible.

  @bigbridealguy you are down 20% on a card the second you buy it if you rely on ebay to sell it. It's just not practical.

  @0hour1 eBay is a gold mine if you fix your own ****. Replacement parts for small engines, woodworking or home maintenance are generally available and not super expensive.

  @DoodDoodly It’s not a terrible idea but I do think we see more of that bag especially. I missed it too but I’m not to the point of caving to eBay… yet.

  @cab8901 @DesertLion26 @ryancohen He's had the money for years and now is pulling the trigger when it's at its most valuable. Ebay peaked during covid to its before all time high then dropped after things started opening up again. At this time GME already had 3-5 billion in the bank. Also no you acquire companies when they are down in value not at their ALL TIME HIGHS Jack. The only people who buy something at its peak value are idiots. You buy low sell high, not buy high ****.

  @maarcoofdezz Exactly this. I've been automating my eBay business processes with Claude for months now - stuff that would have taken weeks to code properly. The people adapting fastest aren't the ones with CS degrees, they're the ones who understand the business problem first.

  @KobeissiLetter GameStop offering to buy eBay is the ultimate 'Fake it till you make it' move! ​It’s basically like a high schooler trying to buy the entire school with their lunch money. A company buying another one that is 5 times its size? That’s not an acquisition; that’s a glitch in the simulation! Get ready for the first global marketplace where you can trade your soul for a used copy of Madden.

  @bizlet7 It doesn't. Its entire market cap is under $12 billion. But in a stock takeover, one issues debt to fund the transaction. The asset securing that debt is the thing you are buying, in this case eBay. Which had a $46 billion market cap before the takeover offer. The buyer is 1/4 the size of the thing it is buying, in this case. But is offering 1.2 times what the rest of the world thinks the thing it is buying is worth.

  My stupid Sunday predication. When all is said and done, $eBay shareholders will receive 3 new $gme shares per 1 owned eBay share and roughly $50-$60 cash (funded by new debt and gme cash). We will issue new shares and the total outstanding will be roughly 1.3-1.4B shares for the combined co. Once everything settles and everything being equal, barring any craziness or unexpected catalysts, a price of $35-$40 would be the baseline. I am stupid and not an expert this is just my thought.

  @LasagnaFried Kitty is going to come back pump it, RC will then issue more shares new floor at 40-45 for a bit. Unless ebay denies bid than hostile takeover

  @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Are you a business or private seller as that determines how you have to handle it and how eBay will treat you? By the way, the buyer demanding money off is abuse and if the eBay rep knows what they’re doing they’ll shut it down for this reason.

  GME wants to buy Ebay for stock and cash worth $125. If I was running Ebay, I would turn down this offer. Ebay is doing well on its own and can generate more value in the long term. The offer is also part stock. Value of GME stock is questionable. $gme $ebay What do you think?

  @WatcherGuru That would be insane if true. GameStop trying to buy eBay wasn’t on anyone’s list. Feels more like a headline play than something that actually closes, but if real it changes how people view GME. I break this stuff down simply, check my profile

  Grok (@grok) reported 50 minutes ago

  @ryandunner9 @unusual_whales All 3 scenarios require GME to issue new shares for the stock portion of the $125/ea offer (~$56B total for eBay). GME (~448M shares out, $9B cash, ~5% eBay stake already) would likely need heavy equity issuance beyond cash + debt to close—potentially 50-70%+ dilution for existing holders depending on final terms and GME price at close. Shareholders get pro-rata ownership in a much larger combined company. Upside hinges on synergies (stores for pickup/auth, collectibles growth) outweighing dilution. Vote/tender needed in each case.

  @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Yeah. They did a creditcard chargeback to eBay themselves that the morons never bothered to respond to. When they default lost from not responding, they made my balance negative to the tune of the entire item value and wanted me to pay that and still the sales fees on top to still be allowed to sell. Told them to sit and spin and let them close me down. They regularly email me today trying to get me to pay my "outstanding balance" they can get ******.

  @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK We have the same issue in the US. Sold never-opened fishing tackle to somebody in another state, $150 worth. Buyer says he never received, i have a photo with fedex proof of the delivery. Ebay sided with the buyer and i lost my money and product. F'em.

  PSA doesn’t just grade cards anymore… they shape the entire market. Now.. you pair this with eBay, GameStop, and all these other virtual slab sites.. and we have a monster brewing.. When submission prices go up, something bigger happens behind the scenes 📷 Less cards get graded 📷 Pop reports grow slower 📷 High grades (especially PSA 10s) become even more scarce And in any market… scarcity + demand = price pressure. 📷 So what does that mean if you’re holding PSA 10s? You’re not just holding a card… you’re holding a controlled asset in a system where supply is being intentionally throttled. Higher fees don’t just ‘hurt collectors’ they raise the barrier to entry, filter out bulk submissions, and concentrate value at the top. That’s how markets evolve from “hobby” → “investment class.” We’ve already seen what happens when demand spikes and supply can’t keep up… Now imagine that dynamic with tighter grading pipelines, global expansion, and more eyes (and money) entering the space. The real question is: Are PSA 10s about to become the blue-chip assets of the trading card world? Or does too much control eventually break the system? Because if this trend continues… this doesn’t slow the hobby down …it might send it parabolic. 📷

  Hey @gamestop don't buy ebay. Just lean into the online store and fix your physical locations. Get rid of 75% of the merch and sell it online, use that space for magic night, Warhammer, other board games/card games and tournaments. Bring back comics. Have a snack and drink vending machine in each store if not in a mall or right next to a fast food restaurant. Also have Lan party nights rotating out games every week. Mario kart, tekken, mortal kombat, COD's, Halo. Keep it console centered. Guarantee you'd increase profit by 300% within 4 months.

  Thoughts on $GME bidding for $EBAY Standard M&A pattern: Acquirer down on cash burn, target up on premium. Both up on the same day means this is priced as a narrative event rather than run of the mill corporate finance. Cohen built Chewy in a clean DTC category and ran GameStop's playbook of closing stores while hoarding cash. Running eBay's global two sided marketplace at scale is a different operational beast than either. eBay has been structurally declining against Amazon, Etsy, vertical platforms, and Facebook Marketplace for years. Acquiring another turnaround story isn't as simple as acquiring growth. The question becomes: How does GameStop afford this? Roughly $9B in cash against a target valued in the tens of billions. Any structure that closes requires heavy debt, massive equity dilution, or both. Each path either crushes per share value or breaks the operating model. Cohen's option award structure vests on hitting $100B market cap. The financing math has to clear before any of that becomes real. Index flow mechanic worth knowing: If the deal closes, eBay gets deleted from the S&P 500 as a delisted entity. The acquirer doesn't inherit the index slot. Combined entity has to qualify independently. That's forced passive selling on eBay through the transition with no equivalent forced buying on the combined company. If GME reprices Monday to reflect M&A reality, that's the entry. If it keeps trading on meme dynamics, the trade isn't there for me yet. Not financial advice. DYOR
