  @eBay is aiding and abetting fraud on its platform. I had an experience with a fraudulent seller, managed to recover my money, when I highlighted this in the review section, eBay pulled it down!! Seller has 400 verified sales but 10,000 reviews, mostly automated!!

  @FrancisJeffrey7 According to me at least $5000 estimated value excluding the value for buying from Francis Jeffrey . If I were there, If I lived in US, I definitely would buy one. I'm having serious problems with international purchases. Smaller ones are selling for around $1000 on eBay.

  @ryancohen This and many other odd issues have risen since 2009. When eBay farmed out their tech support to third party, now out of business 2010 (CSC), the whole process went down the drain.

  @TheUltimator5 eBay is the Kansas City Shuffle. The shorts are pushing the eBay price higher because they believe a potential acquisition won’t work without massive dilution. Their entire thesis is based on the assumption that Ryan Cohen would keep issuing more and more shares just to buy eBay at any price. They expect a deal structured around 50% cash and 50% stock, with GameStop continuously diluting shareholders to make it happen. But what if that’s exactly the trap? What if Ryan decides not to buy eBay at all? Instead, GameStop could use its position, cash reserves, and market conditions to aggressively buy back shares and lock up more of the float. That completely flips the narrative and puts enormous pressure on the short thesis. And then Kitty steps out of the box again and pushes the entire momentum even further. After that, if markets eventually collapse and valuations across the board get crushed, GameStop would still have the ability to issue shares later at the right moment and acquire companies far cheaper — not just eBay, but potentially multiple businesses and valuable assets during a downturn. That’s why I think many people still don’t understand the bigger picture. They are focused on short-term headlines while Ryan Cohen appears to be thinking several moves ahead.

  I’m seeing a lot of confusion around GameStop’s proposal to acquire eBay. @andrewrsorkin was wrong to think @ryancohen can’t “afford” it. What I think he was trying to do was to spin up fears of dilution. Let me break it down. Deal Structure: ⁃ $20B committed letter from TD Securities ⁃ $9B cash from GameStop's balance sheet ⁃ 50% cash, 50% stock Misconceptions: ⁃ This is an unrealistic offer and GameStop can’t afford it. ⁃ GameStop shareholders will be massively diluted via an ATM Offering. RC picked up on Andrew’s angle here, which is why the energy of the call shift. They didn’t even bother to complement Ryan on his great work with GME’s financials. ⁃ A smaller company can’t acquire a bigger company. Kmart bought Sears in 2004, and Heinz acquired Kraft in 2015. How it works: ⁃ An important part of this deal is “Equity Rolling,” where or target shareholders receive part of their payment in the form of equity ownership in the acquiring or newly combined company, instead of or in addition to all cash. ⁃ 50% of eBay shareholders will receive equity ownership in into ownership of the combined GME + eBay company. This keeps them invested in the future upside of the business. For example, eBay’s Founder, Pierre Omidyar can roll his 5% of ownership into GameStop. ⁃ Ryan mentioned “Accretive Dilution” which is when the deal or issuance boosts key per-share metrics enough to more than offset the issuance of shares through equity rolling. An accretive deal boosts EPS (often when the buyer's P/E is higher than the target's), suggesting value creation, while a dilutive deal reduces it. - An ATM Offering is not needed for the deal to proceed. The business will take on more leverage, which might result in an ATM after the deal is done. ⁃ VWAP is typically used for the exchange ratio is based on GME’s standalone trading price in the days/weeks before closing. however, the market already knows about the deal, so arbritage will play a role and the VWAP period usually reflects investors expectations of the combined price. The definitive merger agreement will outline the exact ratio exchange formula. ⁃ TD didn’t write a letter without doing their homework. They likely ran a model of the combined entity’s fundamentals (earnings power, cash flows, growth). Ryan touched on these points as the “why” this will benefit both companies. The letter is being overlooked, and is the North Star for the strength and quality of this offer. ⁃ eBay shareholders would have less ownership, but the benefit is RCs pitch to fully take on the commitment of delivering more value to shareholders (I.e., cutting operating costs and increasing earnings). He’s saying that this change will return more value than shareholders would get as is today. Combined Ownership Estimate: ⁃ 60% to eBay shareholders ⁃ 40% to GameStop shareholders ⁃ GME shareholders who had 100% ownership of $10b, would now have 40% ownership of $60b There is still alot we don’t know, and things can change, so keep that in mind when making your investment decisions.

  @grandmamystery @Dr_Dankinstein We got websites for that here and that's how theyre done. Which is terrible because everyone knows about it, and as a result the bidding gets so high it's the same price as if you went on Ebay, lol.

  @business GameStop’s proposal is a large, cash-and-stock offer for eBay, but analysts have questioned the financing, the fit between the two businesses, and whether the promised synergies are realistic . Intertek, meanwhile, has already turned down EQT’s approach once on valuation grounds, and the latest reporting suggests the board still thinks the offer undervalues the company

  GameStop trying to buy eBay for $56B is the most hilarious "minnow eating a whale" energy I have ever seen. Ryan Cohen really looked at a company 4x his size and said "I can fix her" with $2B in cuts. This is either the heist of the century or total madness.

  @npantano_ Nick. First, an exchange ratio is used that’s set in the definitive merger agreement. I think it’s something like 5-20 day VWAP. It could be fixed, fixed with a collar, or with pro-rata proration so the overall mixed stays close to 50/50. If eBay accepts the offer the market will start pricing that into GME’s share price — we see arbritage like this all of the time. The final VWAP and post-deal trading will be the ultimate arbiter. The market will set a higher market cap to reflect the combined companies and that will offset any dilution, hence my point above about ownership. RC picked up on Sorokin trying to spin an inaccurate dilution narrative, and the one woman yelled out the word later in the call like a clown. He was smart to side step it. There is no issue with this deal structure at all tbh at would prevent it from closing if eBay accepts.

  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)**

  GameStop really walked into Wall Street’s country club with muddy boots 😭 25,000 eBay shares owned outright. Derivative exposure tied to 23,176,000 shares expiring Feb 2028. Pre-HSR = economic exposure. Post-HSR = cash or share settlement. Read slow. One version is price exposure. Other version can become an inventory problem if counterparties need to locate stock 👀 $125 per share hostile bid. ~$55.5B total offer. 50% cash. 50% GME equity. ~$9.4B liquid firepower. Up to $20B financing support. Folks called RC crazy. Wall Street calls identical behavior “sophisticated capital strategy” once a billionaire in loafers does it 💀

  Watching the $GME discourse unfold is something to behold... @ryancohen is right about ebay but it doesn't even matter. His army of fans have shown they will ride with what he says. Think that is worth noting aside from any governance issues w/ ebay.

  @npantano_ Say EBay decides to entertain this fully, and sell to GME, what is the likelihood the deal falls apart anyway due to financing issues? Trying to purchase a company this way.

  @GhostRunnerCard Nothing against you, but I haven’t ever consigned. I’m a top rated seller on eBay but I’m really debating as a lot, taking a month of my life to individually list, or finding a card shop to buy in bulk. Honestly, the ideal buyer would be someone who does singles shows or card shows often. It just comes down to time for me.
