  @grok @Timmber_ @BigV47983505 Alright, I got tired of your same answers. It would matter if they were coordinating buys in order to purchase eBay It would come down to some specifics though, like did they buy at the same time, did they use the same lawyers and ****. It would matter that the board was involved in buying eBay and he is chairman, but it would not be cut and dry, that is for sure So technically he can get away with it, but just because they skirt the filings doesn’t mean it won’t be a problem after the fact. **** it, why not go for it. Just not sure RC is that risk adverse

  @GrahamEv31 @RosesAreRed108 @AwakenedOutlaw He was pretty confident as a little fish. Said he had 9 billion with access to 20 billion. Issue is ebay does 2 billion a year and they are comfortable. He would fire everyone. Ebay is a bloated tech company. Otherwise it might have gone through.

  @horrormuseum Imo, the bigger issue. Who is this movie even for? Betty Boop hasn't been popular since y2k, when she was all over stickers and stationary. The collectibles are dirt cheap on eBay. Race swapped or not, I don't see a market for this.

  @heydomoshi @GaiusMoonnus Part 1's mechanics are real. Parts 2–4 aren't. Core error: shorting XRT means you owe the lender XRT shares — not eBay shares, not GME shares, not a "distribution." You're short the wrapper, not the constituents. When eBay gets acquired, it just drops out of the index.

  @DoDataThings @unusual_whales RC can't fund it PERIOD. Printing worthless new shares and expecting eBay will accept them as payment is a fantasy. I seriously doubt that's what RC has in mind. If it's that easy, why not just issue a trillion new shares? The book value of GameStop ex cash is still $6B.

  I ordered a T-Fal stainless steel set, 11 inch and 8.5 inch on Ebay which just arrived. The problem? only the 11 was in the box, no 8.5..I let the seller know. Now comes the fun part, can't wait..

  @thasminlover considering the costs would need to be under £10pp for them to not lose money I would have been surprised if they spent extra money on the shipping rather than creating the card itself + with the customs issues they were probably just as gagged to see it on eBay as we were 😭.

  @eBay Account access is blocked, so I cannot use “Contact Us” or sign in. I sold an iPhone; the buyer cancelled/rejected the order but the payment/refund (~$60) is still held in my account. I have no way to reach support as all login and email routes fail. Please help restore access and process the refund.

  The XRT DOOM LOOP If you want to understand the real dynamic of GameStop acquiring eBay, you have to look at the ETF basket they are both trapped in. 1. The "Basket" Paradox For years, hedge funds and market makers have used ETFs like XRT for "operational shorting". Instead of shorting GME directly (which is expensive and risky), they exploit the ETF creation and redemption process to short the entire XRT basket and strip out the stocks they want to keep. This allowed them to synthetically dump massive selling pressure onto GameStop while hiding the true size of their short position inside the ETF wrapper. But here is the problem: eBay is one of the top holdings in that exact same basket. 2. The Arbitrage Nightmare Remember the structure of GME’s $56B proposal? 50% Cash / 50% GME Stock. Because GME is using its own equity to buy eBay, the stock prices of GME and eBay are now mathematically linked. 3. The Forced Reconciliation When the merger completes, anyone who is short XRT owes the lender the exact equivalent of that eBay payout ("half cash, half stock"). For the shorts they hedged: Their long eBay position converts to GME shares, which they hand over to the XRT lender. These balance out. For the millions of synthetic/naked shorts: They don't have enough long eBay shares to cover the difference in GME shares. But they still owe the XRT lender the distribution payment. Because they owe the lender GameStop shares to settle the eBay portion of the XRT ETF, the short sellers will be forced to go onto the open market and BUY GameStop shares to deliver them. 4. The Ultimate Bear Trap This means the acquisition is a forced share recall disguised as a merger. By targeting the largest, most fundamentally cash-flowing asset inside the very ETF basket used to short the company, the structure of the merger forces short sellers to fund their own demise. They used XRT as a weapon against retail. Now, RC is using it to swallow eBay whole. $GME $EBAY $XRT

  When Pierre Omidyar launched eBay in September 1995, he faced what economists call the fundamental problem of exchange: how do strangers trust each other enough to trade? The government's answer had always been more regulations, more enforcement agencies, more bureaucrats with badges. Omidyar tried something radical instead. He built a simple feedback system where buyers and sellers rated each other after every transaction. By 1997, eBay was processing over 800,000 auctions quarterly with a fraud rate below 0.01% (while traditional mail-order fraud ran closer to 2-3%). No government oversight. No regulatory compliance officers. Just buyers and sellers policing themselves through voluntary reputation scores that actually meant something to their future business. The system evolved organically as users found creative ways to signal trustworthiness and spot bad actors. Power sellers emerged with 99.8% positive feedback ratings that took years to build but could vanish overnight with shoddy service. Compare that to your average DMV employee, who can treat you like garbage for decades with zero career consequences because civil service protections make them basically unfireable. Today's gig economy runs on the same principle eBay proved in the '90s. Uber drivers maintain 4.7-star averages not because transportation regulators threaten them, but because their next ride depends on it. Amazon sellers obsess over customer reviews while government postal services lose your packages and shrug. When your reputation follows you everywhere and customers can instantly switch to competitors, you don't need bureaucrats breathing down your neck to deliver quality service.
