Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  DYGEN (@XelonMaster) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Polymarket GameStop is reportedly walking away from the $56B eBay bid and pitching a partnership instead — eBay would get access to its ~1,600 stores for cards and collectibles, plus GameStop wants a board seat. The reason is simple: half the offer was GameStop stock, and GME is down 28% since May while eBay is up 7.6%. The bid devalued itself. Polymarket still has “Will GameStop acquire eBay?” at 11% on $2.67M. That looks rich for a deal the buyer is reportedly abandoning — but check the resolution rules, since a JV almost certainly wouldn’t count as an acquisition.

  @AyashEtienne @CardPurchaser I'm not having that issue. And just sent a card to eBay auth. Money is already in my account without express payout.

  Visited a shop this weekend and found some ROM & Ben 10 comics I wanted. Unfortunately, it was this nonsense. After realizing none of the back issues were marked, I inquired & he let me know they price off current eBay prices. I paid $3 each, but I won’t be going back.

  @eBay if you ever bring in the extended bidding process to the US Ebay, you'll likely lose millions of bidders and revenue. Horrible pathway to go down and I would not recommend it infiltrate your platform @eBayAU

  Danny Veiga (@dannyveigatx) reported 18 minutes ago

  was about to close 79 ebay listings when I had a bad thought: if I ever need these again, do I actually have everything? so before shutting down, an AI agent exported every listing record, downloaded the photos, organized the files, and saved what's needed to rebuild each one. then it ran a recovery test without publishing anything. the restore test mattered more to me than the folder of files. now i know it actually rebuilds

  @WestCoast_Goodz Even then... no ****. I sent a package overnight and it turned into a week long nightmare because fedex lost it. I was just trying to save a review. I stand by my statement. Losing 5% of buyers that ask questions to knock out 50% of my problems is a fair trade. I also look at profiles with expensive orders... anything sketchy I just click "address could not be found" cancel the order and block them. Ebay has turned into scammer central. Just canceled a $700 camera order because it was going to a strip mall on an account with 1 item ordered with a very suspect name. Let ebay ban me, IDGAF

  @KillerQueenVI_ Yeah like surely we just can’t play this game I do think they will change it there’s to much money to be made. And my pre ordered is still counting down and if I do get refunded I’ll just buy of eBay or change my region nothing will stop me from playing Halloween.

  @DavidDTawil @GeniusPothead @Whatnot Point taken. GameStop does have an e-commerce site already: perhaps they build a 2nd hand marketplace into their existing site. If they did go down this route (starting something to compete with eBay), they have the advantage of being able to certify high dollar value collectibles via PSA for example. Maybe I’m being a bit conspiratorial, but I get the feeling GameStop is up to something. 🤔 And… I looked up sales by category for FY2025. Collectibles: $1.060 billion (29.2% of sales) → up 47.7% (biggest growth driver; includes trading cards, toys, apparel, and PSA grading services) Collectibles rose from ~19% of sales in the prior year to nearly 30%, in other quarters that number was 33%.

  I got a strong offer on eBay, but would like to keep this sale off eBay. 2003-04 Fleer Authentix LeBron James Rookie /1250. I can send video, but truthfully, the only issue are the edges (very common). A BGS 7.5 did $425 July 7th, a raw with an upside down picture did $312 August 6th. $300 shipped gets it done. I do recommend sending in to get graded, as the 7.5 grade edges look somewhat similar to mine. The only other knock on that one was the centering, which truthfully, I don’t know how to tell centering on this card lol

  This is absolute bullshit. BlackRock just added millions more $GME shares, taking one of its largest positions ever. @RyanCohen appears to have accepted that buying @eBay outright may not be the move and a strategic partnership could accomplish plenty without torching the balance sheet. @GameStop is still sitting on an absurd mountain of cash relative to its valuation. Yet EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. $GME looks ready to break out… WHAM. Straight back down. At some point you stop calling this “normal price discovery.” $GME remains the most manipulated stock on Wall Street.

  RetailStock (@StockRetail) reported 42 minutes ago

  Ebay currently down over 4% and gamestop up on the rumor the offer will be pulled back. I warned that ebay’s price is in part a bet on the $125 offer and was around $85 when the announcement came out, and lower than that when gamestop began buying shares on the market. The thought does occur- if this is a pump fake to increase GameStop and reduce ebay into a key negotiation season… it would be effective Regardless… it’s interesting theater $gme $ebay

  Jimmy Fallon was using his eyes to r4pe Dakota Johnson and she felt uncomfortable Dakota Johnson: Tell me if there's a problem... Jimmy Fallon: Right now there’s not a problem. Well, there’s almost a problem! But keep your posture real good and everything is going according to plan. Dakota Johnson: Does anyone have like a blanket I could wear? Just kidding! Jimmy Fallon: Here, try this! (Jimmy reaches into his desk and hands Dakota a single white paper tissue.) Dakota Johnson: (Tucks the tissue neatly into her blazer collar to cover up, fluffing it like a chic silk bow) Jimmy Fallon: That’s perfect! No one will even know the difference! You look gorgeous. Honestly, I’m putting this tissue on eBay this evening—TMZ is going to go crazy!

  9 months ago I started my Pokémon journey, although I had many cards as a child in played condition I wanted to go heavy and feel passion once again. Invested roughly around $8k till the date. I made a mistake on beginning by gambling and ripping good amount of packs, wanted to pull the chase, instead I dived deep, learned how to search for a good cards, sets or negotiate for several stuff. Pokémon market is indeed interesting when its combined by hobby and businesses. Till today I have at least 500 sales, purchases as well, trading cards in person or via facebook groups, ebay or cardmarket is really good experience, so the card shows as well. IMO market as this is really complex and entirely depends on liquidity and its volatility which is far lower than we have in crypto market. So to understand how certain stuff hold onto the chart or why Pokémons are like slow and without any bumps, its because someone has to buy either card or sealed product from You or someone else, You simply cannot dump and crash market like its the case with crypto or stocks. Obviously it will stagnate and there is certain of price corrections atm, especially with modern cards or sets like Destined Rivals. But as for me, I'm building and trying to collect vintage sets and cards, I don't have a fear for stuff that are in existence for 20 or 30 years that will loose on value, mayve a correction or a chance to grab a holy grail or decent slabs, but definitely in coming years it can get more on price than right now.

  @TheUltimator5 Why would you believe he pulled the offer? Bloomberg is hostile, and market makers needed more down days. Buy ebay, stock tanks, pull offer, stock tanks = manipulation I see this **** and I add more shares. Shorts are just trying to keep new retail/tutes out.

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every online ad exchange on earth extracts over $500 billion a year from advertisers. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to Yale Open Courses in 2008 for nothing. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. He is a Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most watched university lecturers in the history of the internet. The 62-minute clip in this video is one lecture from his course ECON 159: Game Theory, taught in the fall of 2007 to a packed auditorium of Yale undergraduates. Polak covers the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making in 24 lectures. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option regardless of what your opponent does, pick it. Everything else in game theory is a workaround for the fact that dominant strategies almost never exist in real games. Nash equilibria. The point where no player can improve by unilaterally changing strategy. Almost every price on earth is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants converges to one. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to the entity running them. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with a proxy bid. Treasury bill sales are Dutch descending. Each format extracts different value from bidders. Almost no bidder knows which format they are in. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes wins over defection in repeated games. Why the tit-for-tat rule outperformed every complex algorithm in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why almost every stable business relationship on earth is a tit-for-tat game. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants to know this material. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists to design its pricing pages. Every corporate M&A negotiation is priced by consultants who charge $2 million a deal to apply the same equations. "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." That is the first rule Polak teaches every semester. He calls it the only rule game theory is entirely certain about. Retail traders violate it every time they add to a losing position because taking the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The problem sets and exams from 2007 are still online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math is free. The willingness to sit through 24 hours of game theory before opening a bid box, a trading terminal, or a negotiation is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to walk in without it.

  @EFCSankey @eBay I think this is a new error that eBay might be testing and messed up since no one from customer support chat knew about it, and there are no Google results earlier than yesterday for the exact error.

  @M_oass What if RC leaked the news on purpose to FUD eBay share price down so he can buy more at a lower price? It's only above $100 because of the news of GameStop making an offer. 🤔

  @Roaringalpaca4 @ryancohen Vote to dilute the shareholders to buy ebay, but uses that to pay down debt instead! Why not pay all GameStop debt down before the two billion buyback? People will get rekt... but it's only temporary crash until the buy backs!

  GameStop ($GME) considers withdrawing its $56 billion bid for eBay GameStop could abandon its $56 billion takeover attempt for eBay, according to Bloomberg News. CEO Ryan Cohen is reportedly reviewing the offer, although no final decision has yet been made. GameStop has not commented publicly on the report. GameStop launched its unsolicited proposal in May, offering $125 per eBay share, with the consideration split between cash and GameStop shares. The company initially held a 5% economic stake in eBay, but subsequently increased its position to nearly 10% of the company, becoming one of eBay's largest shareholders. eBay previously rejected the takeover proposal. Rather than pursuing a full acquisition, Ryan Cohen is reportedly considering a partnership or joint venture. Such an arrangement could allow eBay to use GameStop's roughly 1,600 US stores, particularly for businesses such as trading cards and collectibles. GameStop could also seek representation on eBay's board. The possible change in strategy comes after several months of pressure surrounding the proposed transaction and questions over its financing. In pre-market trading on Monday, GameStop shares were up around 1.4%, while eBay shares were down approximately 0.6%. $GME #GME #GAMESTOP
