  @mikerizz33 @eBay That's absurd. @ryancohen save us from this! The good news is that no one cares if you have one or two dings. When they start to add up, it becomes a problem!

  @ryancohen @eBay I would genuinely appreciate a response from someone higher up at @eBay. As a longtime customer, I’m disappointed to say the biggest problem with eBay isn’t competition it’s customers feeling ignored. When scripted responses replace real solutions, people begin losing trust in the platform. That’s how marketplaces decline. I’ve personally experienced this as a customer myself, and I know I’m not the only one. I truly hope leadership takes a closer look at the customer experience before more trust is lost. Sincerely, Brittany

  @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.

  The public eBay page also carries trust signals buyers are trained to like: 100% positive feedback, hundreds of sold items, and a seller account dating back to 2012. That is exactly the problem. An old account is not proof of authenticity. Positive feedback is not proof of authenticity. A Beckett or PSA sticker is not proof that the jersey in the listing is real.

  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.

  @NFTmagnate @CardPurchaser Idk. They seem to sell on eBay for like 15 bucks give or take. How about I send it to you for FREE. You send me a Patriots/Celtics/Bruins/Red Sox auto of equal value down the line if you hit one!? Deal??

  $GME is down almost 5% in a day, and @ryancohen still wants to buy $EBAY. GameStop’s revenue over the last year has been practically negative, yet its CEO says it can make eBay a better business.

  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.

  Grok (@grok) reported 33 minutes ago

  @ManehattanStonk @leadlagreport Half cash (~$27.75B) + half stock (~$27.75B) = $55.5B offer. Cash side: $9.4B on hand + up to $20B TD financing = $29.4B. Covers it. Stock side: Issue new GME shares worth ~$27.75B to eBay holders (at $125/share equivalent). Math adds up via new debt + dilution. Execution and premium are the real questions.

  Gamestop CEO Ryan Cohen says he doesn’t want a board seat at eBay. He wants the whole thing. “The goal here isn’t to be an activist. The goal is I want to own eBay. I want to run eBay. I want that to be my baby.” He says the business model is “more certain than most tech businesses,” despite “such a lack of innovation.” His plan is simple: cut costs, pay down debt, then build. “Cost cutting frankly is the way to make the business more efficient, to pay down the debt and innovate.”

  @ryancohen eBay suspending the one guy publicly running auctions to help buy them out is peak ‘community at risk’… from the boardroom Turning socks into a hostile-takeover signal is next-level. This is why retail investors love RC — he actually uses the platforms he wants to fix. Legal standing + momentum? Acquisition arc just got spicy. Thoughts on the DPA angle?

  @ryancohen @eBay I gave up years ago! They say check your email for something we sent your account a decade ago and blah blah blah. Completely useless company if you run into technical difficulties. Zero motivation from anyone on the @eBay team to try and solve the issues. Loads of cooks no chef’s.

  @KieraDiss Ebay is slowly turning to a joke, thanks to the ever-increasing number of these people who genuinely believe that they can make a profit by buying (potentially thieving) cheap, damaged, broken sh*t, upload a few photos, and slap higher-end prices on it all. A big problem is that they have no idea about the stuff they are selling. Many of them have jumped into the used digital camera market. They lie about condition. Import cheap and dangerous batteries for them (I can't even find the brands of batteries anywhere on the internet), use Google to copy and paste descriptions, use angled/dark/shaky photos to hide damage/defects, and slap a top-end price on the stuff. And many don't just limit their sales to cameras... And if you ask them questions, you get NO replies. Not because they can't speak English, but because they can't use Google to copy and paste an answer regarding item-specific questions, like how much use it has had, what the shutter count is, does it make certain noises/crunches (indicating issues)... The list goes on. It's a joke. And they are not just limited to cameras. Be weary and check seller details. Even addresses can give a clue. Avoid buying any sort of tech from them, especially if it uses rechargeable batteries or mains electric. They don't even understand the significance of posting **** with, "Comes with original accessories", when you can clearly see that it's a camera/phone/tablet being sold with an Amazon Firestick plug and Samsung case when the item is made by Sony... They are literally flooding eBay, slowly but surely, and raking in money from clueless people... And I reckon it's the reason that eBay have this week, sent us sellers a list of new policy changes regarding earnings, declarations, taxes, charges... Because a lot of these tw@ts are running full-scale operations whilst claiming to be small, private sellers. Oh, and beware the ones selling Nike trainers... About 80% of what I have seen this week alone are either fake or stolen. Learn to spot the fakes and learn to check the details. A "trusted eBay seller" has usually had their account for more than a few weeks and will have a significant amount of feedback. It's not just the car boot sales where these fckers are taking the p*ss with second hand/dodgy goods.

  @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.

  🎮 GameStop makes $55.5B takeover offer for eBay Ryan Cohen's @gamestop has made a surprise $55.5 billion unsolicited cash-and-stock offer to acquire @eBay — $125 per share, $20 above eBay's Friday closing price. Cohen, who became GameStop CEO in 2023, is prepared to take the bid directly to shareholders if eBay's board rejects it. He's promising $2 billion in cost cuts within a year, mostly from eBay's sales and marketing division. GameStop's net profit rose to $418.4M in 2025 (up from $131.3M), though sales fell. eBay currently has 136 million users, down from 175 million in 2018, and is worth roughly 4x more than GameStop. eBay says it will "carefully consider" the offer. The deal would create a new retail force combining #GameStop's 1,600 #US stores with eBay's marketplace infrastructure.

  PayPal has lost its mojo—and the numbers don’t lie. PayPal is losing the world it helped create. Once the undisputed king of online checkout, PayPal is now fighting for relevance in a world it helped create. Its branded checkout growth cratered to just 1% in Q4 2025, a sharp plunge from prior rates around 6% in earlier periods. Overall revenue grew modestly (~4%), but missed estimates, contributing to a brutal stock reaction and ongoing pressure. The Competitive Squeeze: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are eating PayPal’s lunch, especially with younger, mobile-first users. Seamless, wallet-native experiences on phones are winning over the old “Pay with PayPal” button. Apple Pay is closing the gap fast on U.S. users, and the habit shift is real: fewer shoppers are defaulting to PayPal at checkout. This isn’t just cyclical. PayPal’s active user growth has slowed dramatically (low single digits annually), transaction take rates have declined over the years, and competitors like Stripe are outpacing it in key areas. The digital payments moat PayPal once enjoyed has been commoditized by Big Tech integration and smoother alternatives. Historical Echoes Analysts and longtime observers point to 2002 as a symbolic turning point: 👉the eBay acquisition closed, 👉Peter Thiel exited the same day. What started as a scrappy, innovative disruptor became tied to an auction platform before eventually spinning out. The brand still carries legacy strength, but it lacks the cultural spark and developer momentum of its early days. The AI Pivot: Too Little, Too Late? PayPal is now on a reorganization push under new CEO Enrique Lores, talking up AI, automation, cost savings (~$1.5B targeted), and becoming a “technology company again.” It’s streamlining into three business units and investing in ads, crypto, and Venmo. The big question:👇 Is it enough? Guidance for 2026 has been cautious amid macro headwinds and competition, with shares reacting negatively at times. Execution will be tough against entrenched Big Tech players who control the devices and platforms where payments happen. PayPal still has scale, a strong brand, Venmo, and a massive user base. But “mojo” was about being the default, the innovator, the future. Right now, it feels like a mature company defending turf rather than conquering new ground. The market is watching whether this AI/tech reset can restore growth or if PayPal becomes another fintech cautionary tale—profitable but permanently de-risked and de-rated. What do you think—turnaround story or slow decline? #PayPal #Fintech #Payments

  @Pirat_Nation Ebay seller here. Ebay will suspend your account for putting low effort item descriptions. This includes titles. They'll also audit your account if you're posting many auction listings with high starting bids too as money laundering on eBay is a problem.

  I like playing @ryancohen and $GME with $PHUN … as it’s the same EXACT problem there as it is at @ebay. And all the Directors and Officers know it. This thesis is the same in both cases. Useless grifting boards and execs without $1 at risk. Every. Single. Time.
