  @ryancohen ebay is horrible, terrible to its account holders! I've been trying to get my money out since 2021. they restricted withdrawals because I had issues selling back in 2020. I got sick with COVID and couldn't ship packages out in time, so bad reviews locked the account. I haven't sold in 6 years, and told them to restrict my account from selling, but release my funds. I don't care; I'll never sell again. Every time I call @ebay to amend the issue, they clear the account restriction and assure me the money will be transferrable...then their system reverts back to restricting withdrawals! I understand your frustration; they're awful. I'm at the point where I'm considering hiring an attorney to sue them, but the $8,700 probably isn't worth it. This is unfair.

  @CoyoteKn0wsBest @AMCScam Current shareholders have the option to get out right now at $125 if this goes through. Those who hang on will have to ride through debt repayment, sure, but there is a lot of bloat at eBay and cost cutting alone will generate more than enough to repay that debt. It boils down to what happens after. If nothing, then I will eat my words and say it's all been for nothing. Until then, its speculative. But we need to give the man an opportunity in an environment where growth is possible. GME hasnt provided that opportunity. I think he played his cards well.

  @deepakshenoy I think you're being generous in interpretation. GameStop's estimated EBITDA for 2027 is $469 million. It's debt on books is $4 Bn. TD Bank is offering to give them $20Bn against eBay, not Gamestop. So it's a leveraged buyout. Next, the stock portion. To issue, $28 Bn of new stock, they'd have to issue 1Bn+ new shares (as per current closing price). They have 448 million shares outstanding. So, absolutely SUBSTANTIAL dilution. And here the acquirer's shareholders will vote too because it's small fish acquiring big fish. Plus, is the proposal to issue common stock after the acquisition? But then, this wouldn't be GameStop stock would it? It would be eBay stock

  @ValueAddedRS The problem is we can’t bake it in the price if we do it as an auction, unless we add a handling fee. But then buyers complain if you do that. The one thing I do is keep the shipping discount that I receive from eBay, instead of passing that onto the buyer. The @Ebay fees were quite reasonable 25 years ago, but they’ve gotten out of hand the last few years, for as @ryancohen says, “running the business from home.” :)

  @CardsPumpkin @jacob_prokarym It’s that they became irate and insulted me when I turned down 70%. Like bro, I have turned down 90% multiple times. It’s weird how you hear the same stuff on repeat “you’ll never get market” and “after eBay fees that person only got 85%” Just another day scalpin

  RC will hold them accountable: eBay is currently operating under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the Department of Justice (DOJ) stemming from its cyberstalking case. This situation could have direct implications for $GME, and RC may be able to use it as leverage. In 2019, senior eBay executives and employees (in the Security & Global Resiliency team, plus communications) launched a harassment and intimidation campaign against Ina and David Steiner, who ran EcommerceBytes, a news site critical of eBay. Key triggers included articles about eBay's leadership, executive compensation, and a company pub project ("Walker's West"). Executives used aggressive language internally (e.g., "crush this lady," "take her down," "make an example out of someone"). eBay admitted responsibility for the acts of its officers, directors, employees, and agents. Seven former employees (including security director Jim Baugh) pleaded guilty to related felony charges and received prison sentences (up to 57 months). The DPA (Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, running through ~early 2027 and including a successor-binding clause) isn’t just a compliance headache — it can be turned into a strategic asset that aligns with Ryan Cohen’s critique of eBay’s bloated, poorly governed operations and his $2B cost-cut / EPS-uplift plan. A Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) is a legal settlement where eBay admitted to criminal conduct (related to a 2019 corporate cyberstalking/harassment campaign and obstruction of justice), paid a $3 million penalty, and avoided full prosecution in exchange for ongoing obligations. These include retaining an independent compliance monitor for three years, enhancing its compliance program, and cooperating with authorities. The agreement binds successors, meaning a buyer like GameStop would inherit these requirements. So how can this DPA potentially be leveraged by GME/RC? Pre-Acquisition (Bidding Phase) • Negotiation leverage: Cite monitor costs + integration restrictions to push for a lower price, better terms, or regulatory outs. • Superior due diligence: Access monitor reports for free, in-depth validation of exactly the governance/cultural problems RC has called out (overpaid execs, no skin in the game, weak controls). • Public narrative: Frame the bid as “finishing the DOJ’s reform work” to pressure eBay’s board and rally shareholders. During Acquisition (Closing & Integration) • Structured handoff: Proactively work with DOJ on the required 30-day notice for goodwill and smoother approvals. • Ready-made integration playbook: Map RC’s cost cuts directly onto DPA-mandated compliance enhancements (expense controls, ethics, investigations). • Financing edge: Monitor oversight can de-risk the deal for lenders. Post-Acquisition (Combined Company) • Cover for aggressive reforms: Use the independent monitor’s certification to justify executive pay cuts, overhead slashing, and cultural reset — framed as strengthening (not weakening) compliance. • Risk reduction & moat: Inherited program lowers future legal exposure and can be marketed as superior governance. • Value creation accelerator: Provides external validation and documentation to support rapid EPS gains while embedding lasting discipline. The DPA is a temporary “straitjacket” that RC can wear as armor. It forces the very governance and operational discipline he’s criticized eBay for lacking, while giving him external cover, deeper visibility, and a compelling turnaround narrative. It doesn’t eliminate risks (added costs, monitor friction, DOJ veto power on major changes), but in a deal this size, it can be reframed from hurdle to hidden asset—especially if the goal is long-term value creation over quick flips. Any real strategy would involve specialized M&A/DOJ counsel.

  @eddiemcpigskin @eBay @ProfSportsCards I don't know much about Cohen or GameStop, but I know a little about ebay. They may be a successful company, but they're often complicit in allowing their sellers to defraud their buyers. Some of the listings they allow are downright predatory to uneducated consumers. Just run a search for Mickey Mantle Autograph, or Beatle Autograph and you'll find far more fakes that not. If he can fix that, it would be a win.

  @ryancohen @401Doge “Ryan Cohen can’t fix eBay!” - executives drinking alcohol bought and paid for by company. “Hold my beer” - Ryan Cohen, as he reaches in his wallet to pay for the beer instead of having the company pay for it.

  Sold out in minutes, eBay listings right on schedule, and Valve's fix is... an actual line. Reservations, one per account, 72 hours to buy. Amazing how fast scalping looks solvable when a company decides players should get first crack at the thing.

  Dean Gillberry (@FartieFrenchie) reported 50 minutes ago

  @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.
