  @JZard69 @ImliterallyETH I wholeheartedly disagree and this card show seems to think the same, along with a ton of other patrons. I make deals on Facebook all the time, and look for eBay listings that are accepting offers. Quit feeding the issue of scalping.

  In 2003, Alibaba had $0 in profit. Investors called it dead. Jack Ma ignored them and built Taobao in 6 months to fight eBay. By 2006, eBay shut down in China. The "failed" company won.

  @PopBase I hope they buy it and fix it. Ebay hasn't been **** in a long time.

  @michaeljburry Ebay is dying imho. They changed so much over the years just to keep users. Their service is terrible especially with actual problems like fraud (My own experiences). Gamestop could do the same on their own without taking Ebays burden. Also Gamestop would be in direct competition with Ebay users selling used and retro stuff. So it is then the choice of selling to Gamestop who resales or going somewhere else. Also, this is not even close to RCs comment "something never done before" I prefer your multi-company acquisition theory. It makes more sense investing in other undervalued comoanies and join forces. Much more likely to be 10x fast then simply using ebay as sales channel. That could even reduce the combined value at least temporarily.

  TO THE GLOBAL MARKETS: Team Rocket is officially launching an all-cash bid to acquire eBay. This move is a direct strike against GameStop. By driving up this valuation, I will force @gamestop into a bidding war they cannot afford. They have spent years overcharging their customers, now they will learn the cost of overpaying for their own survival. Let the market prepare for trouble. Gio

  thanks to corporate inertia and ossification, @eBay is actually worse to use today then the 2000s. got an issue? likely needs a specialised team that isn't available 24/7 and only responds with generic solution emails. need a refund? sorry, don't do partial refunds and you have to send the item back at your cost. item misrouted? no worries, we wait until _after_ the ETA to notify the carrier so a 1 week delivery ends up the better part of 2 months.

  @KobeissiLetter Why? GameStop wants to shut down your ability to sell your games cheap online. Once they shut down eBay, they can command used game prices. It’s their #1 competitor. If you can’t beat them, buy them.

  Unable to download 'Listing Quality Report' on @eBay_UK... the amount of issues on site right now is completely unacceptable @eBay. Sort your **** out! How ******** do you expect us to run a business when the tools are not working? Relisting inactive listings and scheduling is taking ages to actually action. Bank holiday weekend should be booming. eBay Live has failed, end it. Let it run on Depop. The servers cant handle it. Buyers are not flocking to it. It's a failure. Read the room and bin the nonsense. We do not need a two tiered platform.

  A bit of a shocker, but there is a fit is in secondhand culture: used games, consoles, collectibles, trading cards, refurbished electronics, sneakers, hobby goods. GameStop's heritage is pre-owned. eBay's core is pre-owned. Thats the bridge. But the asymmetry is weird. eBay is the real business. GameStop is the financial wrapper, meme capital base and management vehicle. This would be closer to a reverse acquisition in economic substance: eBay becomes the engine; GameStop becomes the story Where is the leverage, then? $EBAY has network effects and operating leverage. $GME has brand attention and shareholder base. Combining them only works if Ryan Cohen can turn attention into lower CAC, better seller growth, and a sharper vertical strategy. But financing will be a problem The bull case is boiled down to GameStop uses eBay as the base layer for a global collectibles and gaming marketplace, adds community, authentication, loyalty, digital wallets, seller tools and maybe tokenized/verified ownership. That could be interesting.

  @thisisorlando Ebay is going down slowly, they need to fire the whole board and save the platform.

  @Skullnbonz3 @eBay Correct. It’s nice to know some people understand these things. He also contacted me saying he was going to cancel it after I mailed it because he found one cheaper. I knew he was going to be an issue.

  If you don't want the Steam controller – look into Apex 5 & Vader 5. Vader 5 is probably what I'll buy if Steam controller doesn't workout. Buy Vader 5 v2 bc quality issues on launch model. You might be able to choose on eBay bc Amazon will sell whatevers in stock

  $5M on Amazon. Tried eBay… accounts shut down, money stuck, losing $. Asked ChatGPT: “How do I move $100K in liquidation inventory?” Answer: WhatNot April 26–28, 2025: $8K sold in 3 days. Now: ~$2M/year. Sometimes the pivot changes everything.

  @swmartin19 if you buy ebay, you now own ebay + gamestop so you can go out and borrow $46 billion because lenders know that you will own ebay and its cash flows, which you can use to pay the loan itself they're loaning money against the asset GME is buying (kind of like buying a house) if the cash flows don't support the full loan, you can issue new shares against the organization or use more cash

  ebay should auction itself off, send a box of rocks instead, and refuse to issue a refund

  the $GME meme stock arc was supposed to end with retail holding the bag and a slow fade back to fundamentals. instead we have a $9B cash bid for ebay. - gamestop has been quietly building a stake in ebay for months ahead of a formal bid, per the WSJ report - gamestop ended last quarter with ~$9B in cash and investments, nearly double a year ago. funded mostly by $4.2B in convertible notes issued during meme stock rallies plus $597M in free cash flow - ryan cohen telegraphed this on CNBC in january, calling it "transformational for capital markets," which is a wild thing to say out loud months before actually doing it - the strategic logic actually works. gamestop pivoted hard into collectibles (pokemon cards, sports cards, comics). ebay's collectibles vertical does billions in GMV. there's real overlap, not just financial engineering - the math is the hard part. $9B in cash plus an existing stake doesn't get you a $40B+ company. cohen would need a major premium and massive financing, or a stock-heavy structure that depends on GME shares holding up after announcement - this isn't normal M&A. usually the bigger company buys the smaller one. here a meme stock used peak-euphoria dilution to build a war chest specifically to flip into a real strategic deal years later. cohen's chewy playbook scaled up - ebay popped 9% on the report, GME up 3%. the market is pricing this as ebay-favorable, which tells you something about who they think gets the better end of any deal that actually closes

  @tm1515152005 1. Use higher promotion/ad percentage(7-10%) when you first start. Just have to suck it up and eat the cost, or stuff just won’t sell. After you get over 100 good reviews start dropping that percentage over time. It’s not needed as much. 2. Don’t expect eBay to have your back when it comes to problems with buyers. You are always “wrong”, even when you’re right. Just be ready for that

  @PeakHobby @TrueCollects @TAGgrading Well TAG has less of an excuse to make mistakes that’s for sure. But what about PSA giving people 9s, buying it back from them at that price and then selling that same slab as a 10 on their eBay or whatever? No grading company will be perfect but PSA has a long history of doing some shady ****. Who knows though TAG might later down the road too

  @Cribbs4M @CardPurchaser Either the listing was taken down, or eBay took the listing down. Can happen often times when the listing is fraudulent, or just incorrect. I often times report listings that are duplicates (one is auction and other is best offer). Oftentimes, the auction is the fake listing.
