    @AMCScam @eBay Did I say that? I think cohen has down amazing so you obviously aren’t talking about me. Get back to the point, why are you dismissing this document? Ohhhhhh just like you dismiss everything that doesn’t fit your narrative from your 4 graphs

    @Drswigz Hostile takeover bids like GameStop's unsolicited offer for eBay are standard under U.S. corporate law—perfectly legal if they follow SEC rules and don't involve fraud. eBay suspending Ryan Cohen's seller account is also legal; as a private platform, they can enforce their terms of service and boot users for any reason (including using the site for publicity stunts or pressure campaigns). It's a business call, not some secret "retaliatory command." No laws broken on either side.

    @ryancohen This and many other odd issues have risen since 2009. When eBay farmed out their tech support to third party, now out of business 2010 (CSC), the whole process went down the drain.

  • Escargot4U

    @glacierptrading I highly doubt there will be dilution. You think the EBay CEO is going to step down for a half cash/share offer? It will have to be a 65B buyout at that level and Ryan has no recourse for another 5B in cash. People are forgetting nearly 4B of $GME cash is actually debt.

    @Counterfeit_Rpt @eBay I am shocked! So, If there is an issue, I will just call my bank for fraud! I just had a seller refuse to sell me something because I needed clarification on sizing! She said a pair of skinny stretch pants was a 24, I knew the brand sizes ran 1, 3, 5. HUH???

    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.

    @BradGreb @WallyBuckLive @ryancohen Elon needs a massive E-commerce engine for X, and building one is too slow. Buying eBay via $GME is the ultimate shortcut. ​RC wipes eBay’s $2.4B marketing bloat by moving it to X. X Payments becomes the backbone. With the Sultan’s backing, $100B Market Cap is the blueprint.

    @ebay is doing just fine without @ryancohen and his $GME dilution scam. Look at $GME. It's down 50% in 5 years. Who the hell wants that garbage?

  • GME_Bloat
    GME Bloat (@GME_Bloat) reported

    @glacierptrading Even if the news is acquisition, that eventually sends the stock to at least $40. Do the math. Even if they dilute down to $0, it goes to $40. eBay stock is over $100, RC said shareholders would have 40% of the new company.

    Day 3. eBay is still throwing the same “script” at me. There has been no resolution and they have admitted to keep the funds with them indefinitely. @ebay, as mentioned in the emails written to you, I will keep raising this issue on X till I don’t get the funds which are rightfully mine. @SECGov, $EBAY fudge their profits by banning sellers and claiming their funds. I’m experiencing this first hand. Nobody knows how many innocent sellers have faced the same issue in the past and have not been able to raise their issue via X. Thanks to @X for such an open platform.

  • FartieFrenchie

    Hi @Shripriya - Since you are a board member of eBay, I wanted to share some concerning feedback. I consistently have people purchase higher value my cards whether it’s an Auction or Buy It Now, and immediately request a cancellation within minutes of the purchase. This is happens because the item will show under sold items, regardless of refund. It creates the perception of high comps. There’s been multiple occasions when I did not receive a refund of seller fees and/or promoted listed fees although the cancellation alert says that I will. Some have also be refunded as well. The one rare occasion when I was able to get a hold of Customer Support, they stated it was a known bug — that was months ago. Now, it’s impossible to get a hold of CS because eBay only offers the Help and FAQ page now. This is especially damaging for auctions because there are other people who bid on the card. I sold nearly $50,000 in cards last year and I’m ranked a Top Rated seller. Beyond the archaic platform having issues, I’m disappointed that I don’t have a way to contact a human when needed. I’m more concerned about the integrity of the platform since cards that are refunded still shown as sold. I’ve also had promoted listings get $0 votes, but I still end up being charged. Does eBay still count that as revenue? The card hobby brings me joy, but a bad experience such as this takes away from it Since I can’t get a hold of anyone, should I just reach out to @ryancohen since he’s more committed to the success of the business than eBay’s own exec team? I’ll bring receipts to show that this is factual. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Steamy Regards, Dean

    Nick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Nick_Baker777) reported from Caerphilly, Wales

    @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.

    @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.

    Aguirre Wrath of Dog (@Aguirre115622) reported

    @rorysutherland I don't want them to be successful at this (and therefore charge 10% more) success for my friend involves buying badly described and photographed good things, and polishing up the images and description to sell at a profit on ebay. I want my Amazon prices held down thank you!

  • npantano_
    Nicholas A. Pantano (@npantano_) reported

    @FartieFrenchie Literally wrote "sent to EBAY," in stock. Literally. GME has enough cash, it doesn't need more than it has plus TD's marker. What it NEEDS is a higher stock price to justify the other $28 Billion they NEED to GIVE TO EBAY to AFFORD the "half stock" portion. It can't be any more clear: -10B Cash -20B TD -29B Stock (which they only have half of TODAY) If Cohen dilutes AT CLOSING w GME at $24, 550m shares (maximum allowed) he only raises $13B to give to Ebay in STOCK. He's short $15B. Exactly the issue and exactly why the stock must DOUBLE to fulfill this problem. The dilution happens FROM GME, AT GME's STOCK PRICE, AT CLOSING. This is why Sorkin pressed him on the $15b.

    @paulg Exactly this. Built my eBay business the same way - found what sellers actually needed (better sourcing tools) vs what existed. Revenue followed because the problem was real. The hard part isn't the billion, it's staying focused on solving actual problems.

    $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.

    @victoriamary (@Victoriamary) reported

    I’m just checking in to say that I have made contact with a human being at @eBay thanks to the help of @pdemp12! It took over an hour to convince the bot to let me speak to an agent and I found myself nearly losing my mind but I finally was able to tell them that the parcel never arrived. They said it’s outside of the EBay window so they can’t do a refund but they will report the seller. I guess that is a start?!!! The seller doesn’t have an address or phone number or even an email address listed on their EBay shop so it’s going to be hard to track them down but I think I will try! They have 100% positive feedback on EBay which is interesting! If anyone is in Australia 🇦🇺 please tell me if you have bought anything from them?
