Roaring Kitty Token 💥🍻 (@RoaringKitty_22) reported🚨 Breaking News : eBay Proposal 4 May Have Passed eBay's annual shareholder meeting is over, and reports are circulating that Proposal 4 received enough votes to pass. If confirmed, shareholders would only need to own 10% of eBay to call a special shareholder meeting, down from the current 20% requirement. Why does that matter? GameStop reportedly owns nearly 10% of eBay. That could give Ryan Cohen and GameStop a way to bring their acquisition ideas directly to eBay shareholders through a special meeting. ⏰ Official voting results have not been released yet. eBay has said the results could be announced as soon as tomorrow. $GME $EBAY

Scott Sleepy (@scott_sleepy) reportedRunning the numbers with Grok, GameStop is over-leveraged buying eBay. Hear me out - if they acquired Chewy now, this gets them the free cash flow needed to support that loan while Ryan turns around eBay. Structured correctly, this allows them to hit the $32 Warrant strike price. Chewy is in an extremely advantageous position for this right now. Their stock price is a steal, they are largely done with the major CapEx for growing their distribution centers (which can be further leveraged in NewCo), and have strong and growing Free Cash Flow. The price is right. The cash flow supports the loan. Ryan can focus on eBay when he gets it. And he can manage/improve Chewy in his sleep. CRITICALLY - $GME will be volatile after an acquisition like this, and Ryan can issue an ATM into a squeeze. The big squeeze comes later. A small one in the interim can, with an ATM, basically let Ryan buy Chewy for free.

bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedFrom 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business and the margins have become stagnant at best, and way behind at worst. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

FPL Waqa Waqa 🐶 (@FplWaqaWaqa) reported@caseydoesthingx @CardPurchaser @PSAcard The Value Plus grading level didn’t shut down when buying a raw card through eBay. Most likely because of contractual agreements.

dutch (@dutchdecrypto) reported@poke_maam i'm with you in the current. right now if you sell ebay auction/consigning or as a vendor you get to sell at a premium but someone is taking a cut I think over time that cut being taken trends down as long as onchain marketplaces keep getting more desirable inventory and more liquidity this is not a quick thing but a long term trend

Mark Johnson (@TheSuperMachine) reported@the_joe_marotta I have a bunch of Coliseum Videos on BETA. Unfortunately, I don’t have a BETA player. I bought 3 different ones on eBay that were supposed to work and there were issues each time. One day, I will find a working BETA player.

Kiloton Winier (@binhacked1) reported@petriethedog I had hundreds. Over the years it got whittled down to 4 footlockers. Lost that about 15 years ago. Was sad but also liberating. I had been reading and collecting books since I was a boy. I got screwed selling a lot of it on ebay before an amtrack move from Boston to Orange County California in 2013.

Francesco (@francescoinweb3) reportedHow did I build a mini PC for $500? People don’t buy products; they buy brands. More often than not, you can buy the exact same product for less, just under a different name. Manufacturers tout impressive figures like ‘86 TOPS’, but in practice what matters is → Memory capacity → SSD → Bandwidth → Cooling I found a Beelink SER 8 with a Ryzen 7 8845 HS, 32 GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD on eBay for $480 Additional costs → External case: $25 Memory speed and RAM capacity are far more important. You don’t need 128 GB of RAM unless you’re running 70V models Here’s how things turned out after a week of using the mini PC LIama 3 works without any issues Qwen 3 responds instantly Electricity savings of around $20 a month AI subscriptions are free By buying a mini PC for yourself, you’re not just saving on electricity. You’re also saving on space. It will also be beneficial for companies not to have to maintain mini PCs, as they require no maintenance and incur no additional costs.

The Bitcoin Woodchuck 🤲🐢 (@OracleOfTexas) reported@Amy_Bps Well , let’s tag him again. @ryancohen Without doxing myself - as the **** talking woodchuck isn’t exactly PC - the human behind said account had a very large and successful eBay business. (Sold on other retailers as well). Someone bought me out in 2020. Make no mistake - the company is poorly run. (Sellers are mistreated). But the product is great. I thought selling on eBay was always easier and quicker , especially compared to trademarks with Amazon. (I had my own brand). But. When you got a terrible customer , or a scammer , zero assistance from eBay I got big enough eventually where I could eat the cost - but starting out it was extraordinary painful. A eBay type site with Chewy customer service is a home run.

Zen of Ben (@InalienableZen) reported@Get_BIG_Cards I didn’t even pick up on it. Holy ****. I can see the eBay title now: Markus Naslund 2001 team issue card - Questionable nickname - ebay 1/1

████ (@happywithdrawal) reported@Dexerto can't justify that price but if it has a touchscreen i will be copping one on ebay once it comes down

John (@jsoupzzz24) reported@dabfordale I also see another problem. Grown adults seeking free autographs to flip on eBay. Wish it was buy a shirt or hat instead of diecast. Or $25 donation to drivers charity.

Chris Mizo (@MizoChris) reportedFake NVIDIA RTX cards are getting worse, this is why I keep telling people to be careful with GPU deals that sound too good. • Fake NVIDIA RTX cards are reportedly circulating online • Some are using glued-down plastic chips instead of real GPU dies • Scrap memory chips may be used to make the card look more legit • One fake RTX 4090 was reportedly listed around $220 • Wrong chip markings, missing QR codes, and fake labeling were spotted • Online marketplaces are the biggest risk • If the price makes zero sense, there is probably a reason • Always ask for proof, benchmarks, GPU-Z screenshots, and purchase history • Meet safely, test the card, and avoid sketchy sellers with GPU prices still high, scammers know people are desperate to find a deal on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, eBay, and random online listings.

𝕁𝕒𝕪 𝔹𝕠𝕓 & 𝕊𝕠𝕟𝕤 (@JayBobSons) reportedIs that like 8% sales tax? That's the biggest issue here, the 13% eBay cut has pretty much always been there, I feel like its payment for the 👀. So very often eBay is king!

Dr. Sports Antagonist & Dr. Card Economist (@ourtradingcards) reportedEbay seller that combine S1/S2/Update (inserts) (parallels) in drop down menus are so easy to avoid when searching players... Often times the card(s) (you) are after have been sold but the search still picks up the listing... I get why sellers do it, but as a buyer, it's easy to move on to an individual listing...

(Rodimus) JosephtheN3rd (@JosephtheN3rd) reported@blackvvidows @HankMcPym People buy these for parts. Once it officially releases check eBay. There’s tons of people who just strip them down to sell the parts individually

BetaRadish - kicked Dozy into the water (@BetaRaddish) reported@Gammitin @uhf_satcom Sweet. I’ve seen some beaten ones turn up on eBay from time to time and I’ve considered getting one to tinker with. What sort of experience be do you have with it? Is it one of those frustrating to fix bug amazing when it works things?

Nate (@Natan_benish) reportedprediction: onchain platforms can and will become the main pricing venue for at least some major card categories (instead of eBay/alt/fanfics sales) just to point out some structural issues with offchain venues: - there are multiple different fee structures (PSA charges 7.5-13% based on sale value, eBay 13-15%, Alt 4-14%) - sale taxes are not accounted explicitly, you buy from a PSA vault and keeping it there? 0% DE state tax, you ship it home pay 5-12% in state taxes, you ship oversees even more complicated. same goes with shipping cost which again takes place on check out. this is before I go into credit card + fx fees with onchain platforms it's simple. vaulted by default, settled mostly with USDC, shipping comes after, and platform fees are low and fixed. you can't possibly make the case against onchain taking over.

Zac Alan Cichy (@zcichy) reported@XRPee1983 @Cliffracer56k I just don’t know when I’m gonna see another functioning Jag CD for less. The cheapest I’ve seen was a broken one on Ebay about 6 months ago for $650, by itself. It’s my grail console.

Sparky (@sparky1980m) reported@eBay_UK @eBay @eBay_UK This bug still exists on desktop, please can we get a fix for UK users, I'm currently having to search on mobile app, then mess around with adding to watch list to access listings.

Zoltan X Zeeblefritz (@Zeeblefritz) reported@Malone_Wealth @ryancohen Nothing about the GME price makes sense. They now own a significant portion of eBay, whose stock is up, yet the price goes down.

bollockstothis (@laurast51362949) reported@marklindores @CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany People who know what a hassle it is when things arrive broken. You do it with eBay and vinted as well because people send empty boxes or wrong items.
