    and that's a series that's easily accessible. it took me years and So Much Money to get all of idw ghostbusters in my possession. years of searching ebay hoping i'd find a full run of what i missed out on it took me months to complete year one because the last issue is that rare

    @InningOne @larryvc @ChungusInvestor It seems you’re having trouble understanding how GameStop’s pending acquisition of eBay would work as proposed. You should have a look at Paramount/Warner Brothers to see how a smaller cap company can acquire a much larger market cap company. The cases are not dissimilar.

    Sellers all be saying bc @eBay is buyer friendly. It is not! Sucks both ways, benefiting bad actors but not genuine issues. Cases Ive lost: - Seller shipped slab in envelope with no protection. Cracked slab arrive. Seller reviews in revent month had many complaints about cracked slabs. Screenshotted reviews and my own cracked slab. I lost. Apparently multiple complaints from many buyers dont matter to ebay. - Seller sent me a PSA 8 instead of PSA 9, opened a case, wrote to seller and seller said he would refund. Went dead. Window for refunds closed on the MiA. Wrote to ebay, says no refund even though wrong item sent. Im sure everyone on both the buyer and seller sides have their own ebay horror stories. So indeed, they are ready for disruption. Fees are less an issue if service is good. Often wonder if they have an actual human reviewing cases.

    Ok, I have to say it. I have issues with how Ryan Cohen has done things. The warrants are an example of that. But I do think he did spend considerable time planning out this Ebay proposal. Too many are laughing at him. This guy has a relationship with Carl Icahn. Do you not think Ryan had some deep thoughts on this with him? I'm sure multiple scenario analysis has been done. And for Chuck Gasbag to suddenly start talking positive about him and GME? Yeah, something is still coming.

    Im not reading all of that but I have zero issues with ebay. I buy and sell on there daily. No where else will you get that many people actively buying and selling. As for the fees. I really don’t even care. Account for them when you make your listing prices. It’s a free market. I use eBay for the amount of eyes on my products. GameStop shills just can’t get over this.

    @APompliano @ryancohen Ebay is a terrible company it absolutely takes advantage of sellers and allows 1000s of phony products to be sold. I have spoken to insiders and they said it's insane what really goes on within the company. I would not be surprised if some big news comes out about them.

    @vvvvioll And then returned to the seller. When I tried to contact them, I found that their eBay account was entirely gone. $80 USD down the drain… I did end up getting them from Best Buy a few years later though!

    @ebay @ryancohen ebay is full of bugs!!!! some of bugs is really killing the sales. I just have my buyer who messaged me that he cannot buy on my listing. I have to tell him to try without ebay app. you need to fix your code.

    whatever (@macncheetos) reported

    @alt_w_v_g I still sell stuff on ebay. I'm not a big company. I don't pay anything extra on top of standard fees. I have no issues. You and RC are yelling at clouds while ebay grows revs, does buybacks, pays dividends, gme shrinks revs, dilutes, charges for a dividend

    @Comedyorwat its so obvious because ebay knows gme is gonna pay up for ebay higher than where ebay is trading. ebay goes up, gme goes down that simple.

    @alt_w_v_g I've been seeking on Ebay for 20 years. Every single year it goes from bad to worse. They don't even care. This is a great write up and explanation what has happened. They also make it impossible to even contact them when there's an issue.

    Ok after two weeks of using the @eBay app i must admit…it is dogshit. This thing goes down three times a ******* day.

    GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen Pushes Forward After eBay Rejects $56 Billion Bid eBay's board turned down GameStop's unsolicited $56 billion offer, citing doubts over financing, valuation, and merger risks, despite the bid's 46% premium over eBay's February price. Cohen, who holds a 5% stake through shares and derivatives, highlighted GameStop's shift from big losses to $130 million quarterly profits since he took over in 2023, backed by nearly $9 billion in cash and a confident debt letter. Retail investors cheered Cohen on, while he eyes synergies like using GameStop's 1,600 stores for eBay's collectibles and hints at rallying eBay's owners next. $EBAY $GME

    @MomchilB @unusual_whales if u actually look at the numbers its far from run down and actually profitable with $9b in cash. so i think hes earned every right to call ebay board greedy losers

    @Stonkfather2021 they offered a combined $56B in cashes and gamestop stocks. ebay turned it down earlier this week. By your math, gamestop was willing to overpay for ebay and they were still denied.

    Triangulation Fraud vs "Dropshipping" It's not uncommon for $EBAY buyers to receive orders "dropshipped" from Amazon, Walmart etc. There are many variations on the fraud, but generally: If it uses stolen credit card = crime No stolen cc = just terrible eBay buyer experience.

  • terraformedmind
    Obi Cal (@terraformedmind) reported

    @gitman_phil @bostong41476161 @ryancohen Right, so the massive offerings at $30+ had no effect. Acquisition news right as GME was breaking out and EBay was near ATHs didn’t drive the stock price down (contrary to your first reply) He filed that proxy like the quickness the second he THOUGHT RK was hack.

    @yanxchick I don't sell, but I do like eBay even though it has its issues and, since the New Year, I don't get my stuff some of the time but still fun! I prefer trading the cards I don't want, it's more fun than selling.

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    Important to note: seller reports of being randomly charged ad fees for months old orders started coming in on June 6, 2025. Date on the eBay community staff "system error" post: June 12, 2025. So it took 6 days for $EBAY to come up with that nonsense, making this a perfect example of not only predatory ad practices but terrible customer service too. 👎

    🚨GAMESTOP JUST TRIED TO BUY EBAY FOR $56 BILLION🚨 Ryan Cohen walks in with a $125/share cash+stock offer, says he'll fix their bloated mess using our 1,600 stores for real-world fulfillment... and eBay's board cries "not credible" like scared little kids. This is the SAME Ryan Cohen who turned a "dying" GameStop into a $10B+ beast with a war chest of cash while shorts have been bleeding since 2021. They laughed at us then. They're sweating now. Apes aren't selling. Diamond hands only. The real squeeze is just getting started. $GME #GameStop #RyanCohen #ApesTogetherStrong

    @treesonstumps @alt_w_v_g You can do ok as a buyer on ebay. It's sellers that have a problem, and slowly this bleeds quality buyers. Only the diligent and the scammers are good at using ebay's tools to shop smart.

    NonMundane (@n0nmundan3) reported

    Ok, this is a warning about @ebay Now they will lie to you in many ways. One of the most important ways is any way in which they will claim to empower you as a seller, but actually will punish you for being a problem. They have something called "defects" and they can't WAIT to

    @Stonkfather2021 Correct EBay would dilute they would issue more shares so they wouldn’t own 51%. Also institutions need permission to own more than 20% of a publicly traded company. SEC filing and eBay will know about it if filed and will prepare to issue shares to dilute.

    @Escapissed85 yeah I put down a few orders on Ebay, I was just trying to expand my options a bit.
