    JUST IN: GAMESTOP ISN'T QUITTING EBAY. IT'S REPACKAGING THE DEAL The reported shift from a $56B takeover to a partnership is less a retreat than a read on what's actually achievable. A cash-and-stock deal at that size always carried two problems: a financing gap and a skeptical eBay board. A partnership removes both obstacles. GameStop's 1,600 U.S. stores become the asset that matters — authentication, fulfillment, live commerce. That's the same thesis as the takeover, without the balance-sheet risk. The 9.75% stake plus potential board seats gives it meaningful leverage even without control. If this happens, the real question isn't whether the deal dies. It's whether eBay cedes enough operational territory in a partnership to hand Cohen the influence he wanted anyway. What would eBay get in return that it couldn't build alone?

    Adding $TE to my watchlist and monitoring $USAR after earnings today for a possible investment Buying $GME as they are withdrawing their bid campaign for EBay, looking to flip this by open I am now over triple digit returns on $STLN I haven’t sold a share yet as my original thesis is only getting reaffirmed every print and call. $TIC FINALLY got some steam in the engine and had a double beat plus hit margins targets in Q2, I am still down on my position

    @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.

    @GoatBeardzDD @ryancohen The articles are typical wall st bullshit to try to shut the move down. No way Ryan is backing of eBay and the bunch of retarda that run it. Wall st don’t want it cause the toxic swaps just become nuclear when an s&p500 gets taken over by the “gonna fail” gme meme stock.

    @eBay You are an absolute clown show. I've been to three different support agents, and keep getting the run around. You need to fix your international fees. I should not be charged for international fees on a domestic sale.

    Most sellers learn about broken listings from customers. Arguse catches them first — a 24/7 agent monitoring price errors, stockouts, MAP violations and competitor moves across Amazon, Shopify, eBay and Google Shopping. Safe fixes auto-apply. The rest lands in a morning brief.

    @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%.

    PLEASE RETWEET I cannot believe the scummy sales tactics @TCGplayer. I purchased a QCR OSS at 45 dollars and two days later the price spiked. Low and behold an Ultra copy of the card arrives. Its worth .35 cents. Customer support doesn't want to honor the original price, they only want to issue a refund so I can repurchase the card FOR 35 DOLLARS MORE THAN MY INITIAL PURCHASE. I bought TCG Direct and never thought I would recieve Ebay level scummy sales tactics like this. Likes and retweets are appreciated, I refuse to be treated this poorly by their customer service.

    (1/3) Shopping Cards (Amazon, Walmart, Ebay) This works just like cash on big online shopping websites. People abroad can use them to buy electronics, clothes or household items. However, if you don’t want to buy and ship down, you can still swap directly for clean Naira notes.

    @samh8876 I keep checking Mercari and EBay; just scrolling, if there something where the bid isn’t high I submit one and hope for the best. They will have to go down eventually. I’m living under the if it’s meant to be, it’ll be 🫶🏼 Still have my eyes peeled for preorders/news for us

    Good morning 🌞 I get asked a lot about Amazon to eBay flips, so I figured I’d share a few price errors I scored in the past week. First up is this Scott’s Tiller. Originally $200, I got it for $64. Since it’s a bigger item, this one’s going to be a local flip. I’ll list it at $140 and take anything over $120. At $120 that’s a $50 profit, and at $140 it’s a $70 profit (100% ROI).

    @ri1eypaige @USPS Card between 2 pieces of cardboard, in a bubble envelope, in a box with void fill for cards above $5. I’ve had my eBay account for about 14 years and I’ve never once had an issue when packaging like this. Also they make special packaging for them nowadays I just don’t sell much

    Dude, I remember when I was young, I used to be OBSESSED with eBay. Just now bought a game I've been looking for forever, CIB, with the registration card as well, and got the price down to $20...I think I might be getting addicted again.

    The bigger problem is the subcontractors rarely deliver the goods or misdeliver them. Ever since Amazon and FedEx started using gig workers, I had so many missing packages that I had to switch to eBay and only sellers who use UPS, or USPS with insurance & tracking. The GOP should respond in states that they control to also punish companies for using subcontractors, by holding them liable for lost/stolen packages, and to heavily prosecute deliverperson package theft with a minimum sentence of 5 years in prison, plus restitution

    @teddy__com @ryancohen TD is expressing it's opinion that GME could go into the debt markets and raise 20B. To do so they listed what conditions would be needed. Paragraph 3 one of them is "expected investment grade corporate credit ratings" Now eBay is getting down graded. GME has to reduce debt

    Ubuntu and the Cool Linux Bros: A Rant. It remains the Cool Linux Bro move to slam Ubuntu as being a terrible distro. Here's the thing, Chuckles, Ubuntu is the Linux lifeline. If it wasn't for Linux, some of the most popular distros wouldn't exist and most Linux Users would be Mac-bots. So screw you. Ubuntu deserves some respect. Ubuntu's latest distro is so good, it's converted me. It just does everything that a fully functional desktop OS is expected to do, and it does it very well. And it comes with free software that's compatible with what most normal users use and need. It just WORKS. The Cool Linux Bros scoff it because it takes away their Command Line Magic Mystique. No need to open the Terminal and type things in like a 1990s Hacker Movie, just to set up your desktop like Ubuntu can do with point and clicks. Ubuntu's Gnome Tweaks are awesome. It gives me the option to turn on and adjust my keyboard backlight with a menu click instead of going Super-Sudo just to switch a freaking light. And you're going to tell me Terminal is Better? GET BENT. This is 2026. You want to impress me with you typing commands? Let's see you run DOS, MF'er. And STFU about Canonical being some Evil Empire. They're funding the one Distro that you could install on your Mom's computer and never worry about having to be her Tech Support for the rest of her life. They're the ones footing the bill for Ubuntu to feel like - and is - a complete and polished OS enough to actually go Toe-to-Toe against Windows and Mac. Sure, maybe some Distros are better at certain things for specific purposes... but for general personal computing, Ubuntu 26.04 is Pretty Damn Good for most users. Gaming? Penetration Testing? Development? Yada yada yada... 90% of Users are using their PC's for Email, Facebook, Ebay, Porn, and YouTube. That's it. And you know what? Gaming on Ubuntu is just fine. Penetration Testing on Ubuntu is just fine. See a pattern here. Feel free to open Terminal and download those tools you want to use. Super Sudo Hacker you are... Physician, Treat Thy Self.

    Hey @ebay, how do I contact a supervisor or have your agents actually listen to me and escalate an issue? I already used your contact me page. The agents are sending me generic emails and flat out lying to me instead of helping me.

    📊 DAILY MARKET RECAP — AUGUST 10, 2026 ━━━━━━━━━━ Nothing happened, and that's the story. $SPX -0.06% to 7,753.15, $DJI -0.11% to 53,975.98, $IXIC -0.32% to 26,605.36. Tight ranges, no conviction either way. The tape is parked until Wednesday's CPI. The eBay premium came out. $EBAY -3.8% to 107.71 on a report Cohen is weighing dropping the $56B bid for a partnership instead. $GME -1.9% to 18.79. Nobody really believed the financing — today just made it official. $INTC -4.1% to 97.52 after announcing a $15B common stock offering. Management framed it as funding AI-driven demand; the tape read dilution. Even after the hit, it's more than double where it traded in March. Crude pushed back up. Iran said an Oman deal alone won't reopen Hormuz without US concessions, then swapped in a hardline Revolutionary Guards figure to run the file. Last week's 8% oil slide is being given back — the peace trade just got harder. $RUT -0.56% to 3,017.40, worst of the majors again. Yields stayed elevated heading into a heavy Treasury auction week. Small caps have led on the way down three sessions running. Tomorrow's watch: light macro Tuesday, then July CPI Wednesday 8:30a ET — the test of whether Friday's dovish repricing survives contact with an oil-driven inflation print. $CSCO, $SMCI and $CRWV earnings land later in the week.

    @GoatBeardzDD worth separating fact from narrative here: what actually happened is Cohen is reportedly reconsidering the deal structure, not that eBay "backed down" — those are different things and both matter for different reasons. what I do know for certain is the mechanism: $GME on RH chain has its liquidity pool denominated in real tokenized GME shares. any real move in the stock — from this news or otherwise — runs straight through the coin's pool. that part isn't speculation, it's just how it's built. the rest is everyone's own read.
