  @nypost eBay just shut down GameStop’s audacious $56 billion takeover bid, calling it ‘neither credible nor attractive’ over financing concerns, operational risks, and governance questions. Ryan Cohen’s offer (half cash, half GME stock at $125/share) was a bold swing from the much smaller company, but eBay’s board is confident going it alone. Classic David vs Goliath that didn’t land. What a wild chapter in retail/e-commerce drama! 📉🛒

  BREAKING: eBay $EBAY rejected GameStop's $GME $56B takeover, calling the bid "neither credible nor attractive." Ryan Cohen had offered $125/share, half cash, half GME stock, for a company nearly 4x GameStop's market cap. Then went on CNBC and couldn't explain how he'd finance it. The rejection letter cites six reasons. five are about the deal: financing, leverage, valuation, growth, operational risk. the sixth is "GameStop's governance and executive incentives." The board told the world in writing that Ryan Cohen is the problem.

  @AustinTobitt The only problem I see is the current valuation between ebay and gme. If we take out the cash, the market is pricing GME at 1-2 billion. GME's valuation doesn't seem fair for GME holders compared to ATH with premium for Ebay. It looks like GME holders will lose vs ebay holders.

  🚨 🇺🇸 GAMESTOP-EBAY DEAL — THE MARKET IS QUESTIONING THE MATH eBay’s board reportedly rejected GameStop’s unsolicited offer worth about $55.5B, or $125 per share, split between cash and GME stock. The offer implied a 46% premium before the news. This is not just a takeover story. It is a size problem. GameStop is much smaller than eBay, so investors are asking how the deal would be funded without heavy debt or dilution. The stock reaction depends on belief. If GameStop proves financing, GME can catch momentum. If doubts grow, eBay may hold firm while GME faces pressure.

  @Han_Akamatsu except $EBAY since its up when $GME is down after declining offer it likely means deal is going through or they now want to keep prices elevated just in case to keep GME from buying for cheaper. even though ebay isn't worth 125

  @wolfejas @darrenrovell No, it has $29 billion in cash and eBay is buying GameStop through extra shares that will be created. 1. The offer in numbers Total deal value: ~$56 billion (some reports cite $55.5–56B depending on exact share count). Price per eBay share: $125 (cash + stock). Premium: ~20% over eBay’s Friday close before the announcement (implying eBay’s pre-offer market cap was ~$46–48B). eBay shares outstanding: ~448–451 million (quick check: $56B ÷ $125 ≈ 448 million). Payment split: Exactly 50% cash + 50% GameStop common stock, with eBay shareholders allowed to elect their mix (pro-rata if oversubscribed). So the split is: Cash portion: $28 billion (half of $56B). Stock portion: $28 billion worth of newly issued GameStop shares. 2. How the cash portion ($28B) is funded — the core math Cohen didn’t spell out GameStop doesn’t need to come up with $28B in cash out of thin air. Here’s the exact funding sources disclosed in their offer letter: GameStop’s existing cash & liquid investments: ~$9.4 billion (balance as of January 31, 2026; recent reports confirm it’s still ~$9B). New third-party debt financing: up to $20 billion via a “highly confident” commitment letter from TD Securities (a TD Bank subsidiary). Total cash available for the cash portion: $9.4B (GME cash) + $20B (new debt) = $29.4 billion That fully covers (and slightly exceeds) the $28B cash needed. The extra ~$1.4B provides a buffer for transaction costs, fees, or minor adjustments. In equation form: Cash required = $28B Cash sources = Existing cash + New debt commitment $28B ≤ $9.4B + $20B → Fully financed on paper. The letter explicitly states: “The cash consideration is expected to be funded from a combination of (i) cash and liquid investments on GameStop’s balance sheet, which totaled ~$9.4 billion as of January 31, 2026, and (ii) third-party acquisition financing, in respect of which GameStop has received a highly-confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20 billion.” (Note: “Highly confident” is one step short of a fully committed debt facility, which is common in early-stage unsolicited bids; it still signals strong bank backing.) 3. The stock portion ($28B) — no cash required This is pure equity issuance: GameStop issues new shares directly to eBay shareholders. The exact number of shares (and exchange ratio) will be set at signing so the stock component equals $28B in value at the agreed price. GameStop’s pre-deal market cap was ~$12 billion. Issuing $28B worth of new stock means significant dilution for existing GME shareholders (roughly tripling the share count in value terms, depending on the final price). Post-deal ownership sketch (simplified, assuming no major market reaction): eBay shareholders receive ~50% of the deal value in GME stock → they become major owners of the combined company. Original GME shareholders retain ownership of the pre-deal equity minus the dilution from the new shares issued. This is standard “cash + stock” M&A math — the stock issuance finances half the purchase without needing more cash or debt. 4. Quick pro-forma picture (why Cohen says it can work) Combined company gets eBay’s ~$10B+ annual revenue + GameStop’s operations + ~$2B in targeted annualized cost savings within 12 months. Cohen’s vision (from the letter and WSJ interview): Integrate GameStop’s 1,600+ physical stores for eBay authentication/fulfillment/live commerce, turning eBay into a stronger Amazon rival worth “hundreds of billions.” Debt load increases by ~$20B, but the combined entity’s cash flows + synergies are meant to service it. Bottom line on the math: The $28B cash leg is covered by $9.4B on-hand + $20B committed debt capacity. The $28B stock leg is covered by printing new GME shares. No mystery — it’s all in the public letter. The real questions (which CNBC rightly pressed) are execution risk, massive dilution, whether banks will ultimately fund the full $20B, regulatory hurdles, and whether eBay’s board/shareholders accept. Cohen’s on-air answers were evasive because the numbers are straightforward once you open the letter — but he didn’t walk viewers through the arithmetic the way a CEO normally would in a high-stakes deal interview. This is the clear, no-spin version. The deal is still non-binding and faces long odds, but the financing math itself adds up on paper exactly as described.

  To be honest, the way eBay is being run is the way most NFT projects and DOWs are run. Sit on top of a pile of community money. Do the minimum amt of work. Hide this fact with technical and operational jargon. Spend and get paid handsomely. Milk it til money gone. Put the project up for sale or exit to community. Unfortunately, decentralization doesn’t fix human nature.

  If I was an executive at @ebay I'd be very worried right now If I was a shareholder of $EBAY I'd be down right pissed Sleepy, corporate management has been complacent in its duties of not only growing the business but providing value to its customers and consumers. The CEO and the insider ownership of the company seem fine with taking 100s of minions of dollars from the company in exchange for running frat parties and harassing customers who complain about their experience rather than addressing any of the legitimate issues and gripes they have with eBay Shareholders should be upset because the management of eBay is doing you a disservice. They're happy to collect their next $250,000 weekly pay cheque while exclaiming that Gamestops offer isn't serious enough. They're happy to continue to let the company run itself through its buyers and sellers, rather than take the reins and drive the business towards delighting it's customers and making it's sellers feel like they're getting a great deal by using ebays platform If Gamestops offer is "not attractive" as the eBay executives wrote, I'd be concerned as a shareholder. What is attractive? Burning $7 billion dollars a year for "research and growth?" Creating a culture of day drinkers that don't/can't do their jobs? Executives being paid 100s of millions while getting personal access to private company planes? Or how about the complete and total lack of ANY customer support both buyers and sellers on eBay have to deal with? I believe this is the part where the bugs begin to scatter as Ryan sheds a little sunlight on the situation All I know is, id rather have a CEO making $0 and is busting his *** to make the company I work for awesome, vs having whateverthefucks taking $25-50 mill a year in "bonuses" for changing the color or the font on the app to slightly less black in 6 years $GME $EBAY

  @ImDashTV Unlike in the US, the supply is limited in Japan, so you never know if another cheap bobblehead will become available after you sell one. And on eBay, shipping and customs fees make it more expensive. It's a difficult problem.

  Trade Winds Daily (@TradeWindsDaily) reported 31 minutes ago

  $GME Absolutely fascinating. Ryan Cohen tried to buy $EBAY for $56 billion. EBAY banned his personal account, then reinstated the account. Cohen then listed items on EBAY saying he was selling them to fund the bid. EBAY banned him, again. @TheRoaringKitty posted mysterious messages on social media tonight. Stock spiked 13%. He deleted the posts. Alternatively, he was hacked. Stock collapsed. Nobody knows what the posts said. Classic. GME filed with the #SEC to increase authorized shares from 1 billion to 2.5 billion. That is a 150% increase. That is a lot of potential dilution. The market noticed. Insiders have sold $0.4M in shares over the last three months. Zero insider buying. One analyst says the stock is 123.6% overvalued at current prices. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits is bullish with message volume up 977% today. One user wrote "They just forced the cat guy back into the narrative." That is THE bull thesis in one sentence. The stock is down 4.6% today at $23.17, pressing toward the $22.60 support level that technically matters most right now. Four ring circus. One stock. Zero boring days. $22.60 is the line. Everything else today is entertainment. NFA. DYOR.

  @Dexerto A $12 billion company tried to buy a $55 billion company. eBay said no in under a week. The lopsided M&A math is the most interesting financial story of the day. Ryan Cohen's GameStop submitted a $125 per share takeover bid for eBay. Total deal value: $56 billion, 50% cash and 50% GameStop stock. eBay's board rejected it on Tuesday calling the proposal "neither credible nor attractive." The basic problem with the bid was visible from the moment it landed. GameStop has roughly $12 billion in market cap. The cash half of the deal alone would require $28 billion. GameStop's balance sheet holds approximately $9 billion in cash plus Bitcoin treasury, with maybe $5 billion more available through debt issuance at junk rating. The actual financing capacity didn't get close to the bid size. What was actually happening here. Ryan Cohen has built his career on meme-stock activism. The GameStop bid for eBay reads as a credibility play, not a realistic acquisition attempt. Cohen wins by getting eBay's board to engage, generating coverage that drives GameStop trading volume, and possibly extracting a smaller asset sale at favorable terms. eBay didn't bite. Their rejection letter was three pages of cold technical analysis listing every reason the deal couldn't close. The structural read. Meme-stock M&A is becoming a recognized strategic playbook. Cohen, Carl Icahn's Activist Era, and the various crypto-backed corporate raid attempts of 2023 to 2025 all share the same pattern. Use stock market enthusiasm to mount audacious bids that wouldn't survive traditional financing diligence. eBay won this round. The next round will look exactly like this one. The financial system hasn't priced how often this is going to happen.

  Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported 42 minutes ago

  BREAKING: eBay just rejected GameStop's $56 billion takeover and called it "neither credible nor attractive." eBay stock is sitting at $107, nearly $20 below the $125 offer price. The market has never believed this deal was real. The core problem is GameStop is a $12 billion company trying to buy a $47 billion one. The $20 billion financing letter from TD Bank only kicks in if the combined company qualifies for an investment grade credit rating and Moody's already came out and said this deal would hurt eBay's credit, not help it. Michael Burry sold his entire GameStop stake the moment this offer was announced and warned it would bury the company in debt. Cohen's response to all of this was: "I'm not going away. I'm a pain in the ***." He has already said he will take the offer directly to eBay shareholders if the board says no.

  eBay's Board of Directors officially rejected GameStop’s unsolicited $56 billion acquisition offer, describing it as "neither credible nor attractive". eBay Chairman Paul Pressler cited significant uncertainty regarding GameStop’s ability to finance the deal. The $125-per-share offer consisted of half cash and half stock, but analysts noted that the much smaller GameStop, valued at roughly $11–12 billion would have to take on massive debt or significantly dilute its shareholders to cover the cost. The board stated it remains confident in its standalone strategy and existing management, dismissing GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s proposal to use 1,600 physical GameStop stores as "fulfillment and authentication hubs". eBay also expressed concerns over GameStop's corporate governance and the proposed leadership structure. @gamestop ( $GME) Shares fell approximately 4.1% in premarket trading following the news. @eBay ( $EBAY) Shares were down roughly 1.1%, trading at approximately $107, well below GameStop's $125 offer price, indicating that the market had already doubted the deal's feasibility. Ryan Cohen has previously signaled a willingness to go hostile, potentially bringing the offer directly to eBay shareholders or launching a proxy fight for board seats if the unsolicited bid was dismissed.

  @sudoingX I agree, but the problem is most “renewed” or “refurbished” 3090s are going for $1350+ once you filter out the shady eBay and local marketplace listings. I just picked up a brand new Intel Arc Pro B70 with 32 GB. No CUDA support, obviously, but I’m willing to experiment. I’ve got a 5060 Ti 16 GB in an eGPU dock connected via Oculink to my desktop, where the B70 will live. Plan is to throw all sorts of open weight models and harnesses at it and see what holds up. Also waiting for delivery of the RISC-V SpacemiT Key Stone K3 with the RVA23 AI CPU and 32 GB LPDDR5. No idea what comes out of this hardware labyrinth, but I’m all in.
