  @AMCScam @eBay @ryancohen Hahaha post your “graphs” I’m not going to explain every inch of GameStop to you like a 5 year old, business has been ran amazingly and went from what should have been bankruptcy multiple times to its most profitable year last year after shutting down tons of unprofitable stores. Done arguing with your *** cause I’m not here to educate you. At this point I think it’s best you just short GameStop

  @Jackeljay95 @ryancohen Yeah had this issue also, was a third party delivery of some kind?, all they did was spam me with the same tracking details when I asked for further info. Same hyperlink like 3x eBay didn’t do anything about the dispute. 15$ was easier to just let it go but yeah :(

  @weareallsatnaka @xMarketNews Based on the eBay store screenshot (ryan_5050 with 19 items), the total listed price is $10,214.88. That includes everything from the $2,650 GameStop signs down to the $70.69 Larry Walker card. Not exactly acquisition-level cash, but it's a start. 🚀

  @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.

  @741percentGME @ryancohen Wouldn't $GME need to issue ~ 5–6 billion new shares (depending on GME’s price at deal signing) to deliver roughly 27–28B of stock consideration to eBay holders?

  BrotherDucks (@ducksareinarow) reported 21 minutes ago

  The cost cuts aren’t the real story. eBay has a structural problem money can’t fix: trust. Cards, watches, sneakers, refurbished tech — every category that should belong to them has been bleeding share to StockX, Goldin, even Amazon. eBay’s authentication has been a band-aid over a wound. The reason? eBay has no physical footprint. GameStop has 1,600 stores. Walk into any GameStop today and staff are already grading Pokémon cards, Magic cards, retro hardware, used consoles. The infrastructure for in-person verification — the exact thing eBay has been desperately outsourcing — already exists. Bolt that onto the world’s largest collectibles marketplace and you have something Amazon can’t replicate without billions in capex and years of build. Live commerce studios. Card grading hubs. Refurbished tech intake. Local fulfillment nodes. None of these are theoretical — they’re happening at GameStop today, just at smaller scale. The real estate is paid for. The labor is on payroll. eBay supplies distribution; GameStop monetizes square footage at margins it could never get selling video games. This is the part of the deck the bears are skipping.

  @ryancohen Rug them too. Sell the 5% and do the buyback on GME with the 100mio you have authorised. Market already saw what you put out there. It will respond by crashing ebay and you'll buy it with 30-50% discount easy week to months down the road.

  @Sacb0y @eBay I mean they are the most successful GPU brand on earth so I think its safe to say plenty of people care regardless of the fact of scalpers. Again its not a problem for the producers of products only consumers. If you dont like scalpers dont buy from them.

  The Sports Card Shop (@_sportscardshop) reported 26 minutes ago

  @eddiemcpigskin @eBay @ProfSportsCards I don't know much about Cohen or GameStop, but I know a little about ebay. They may be a successful company, but they're often complicit in allowing their sellers to defraud their buyers. Some of the listings they allow are downright predatory to uneducated consumers. Just run a search for Mickey Mantle Autograph, or Beatle Autograph and you'll find far more fakes that not. If he can fix that, it would be a win.

  @ValueAddedRS I bet eBay uses H1Bs on their platform. They break everything they work on, not known for understanding how to integrate code. Get good ol' American Technology workers in to fix these problems - easy fix.

  GameStop publicly proposed to buy 100% of eBay for $125 per share (about $55.5 billion total equity value). This is a 46% premium to eBay's price before GameStop started buying a 5% stake in February 2026. The offer breaks down as: 50% cash ($62.50 per eBay share) 50% GameStop common stock ($62.50 per eBay share, with full election rights so eBay shareholders can choose more cash or more stock, subject to pro-rata limits) Cash portion funding (the part that actually requires "money"): GameStop already has $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments on its balance sheet (as of Jan 31, 2026). It has a "highly confident" financing letter from TD Securities for up to $20 billion in third-party debt/acquisition financing. That covers most of the cash needed ($27–28 billion total cash outlay). The rest would come from the mix of cash/stock elections. Stock portion (this is the "using eBay equity" part the poster is mocking): GameStop will issue new shares of its own stock to eBay shareholders. eBay shareholders aren't just selling out for cash, they swap their eBay shares for cash + ownership in the combined GameStop + eBay company. In effect, they keep a stake in eBay's future value, but now through GameStop stock (since GameStop would own eBay outright). This is a standard cash-and-stock merger structure. It's not "using eBay's stock" in the sense of GameStop magically grabbing existing eBay shares it doesn't own. It's using the equity value of eBay itself as part of the purchase price. Former eBay owners get to participate in the upside of the larger company (which the market may value higher due to synergies, scale, etc.). Simple analogy (from meme-stock community explanations) Think of it like this: Owner of Company Orange (GameStop, smaller market cap) wants to buy Company Apple (eBay, larger). Instead of paying 100% cash, Orange offers: Half cash (from Orange's pocket + borrowed money) Half ownership in "Orange + Apple" (a much bigger combined company). Apple owners get some immediate cash plus they now own part of the bigger entity that still includes all of Apple's value. Orange shareholders get diluted (more shares exist), but the total pie grows dramatically from $11B (GME) to $55–58B combined. That's why Cohen says "half cash, half stock" repeatedly, the stock issuance doesn't require GameStop to raise another $28 billion in cash; it transfers ownership stakes instead. Why critics call it "using eBay's money and equity" The math only closes because eBay shareholders are effectively financing part of their own sale by accepting GME stock in the combined entity. Some analysts have pointed out a potential "$14 billion hole" depending on how the market prices the post-deal company and how much stock actually gets issued. Cohen's interview came across as evasive to some because he didn't walk through the dilution math live, he just kept saying "details on the website." Bottom line: This isn't some impossible or fraudulent scheme. It's a classic leveraged buyout + stock-swap acquisition that smaller companies use to buy larger ones all the time (with debt + equity issuance). Whether it actually happens depends on eBay's board/shareholders accepting (or GameStop going hostile), regulatory approval, and market reaction. GameStop has already filed the required 13D and HSR notices.frustration seems to stem from skepticism about the financing realism and Ryan Cohen's style common in meme-stock circles where GME moves are watched intensely. But mechanically, it's straightforward corporate finance. @ryancohen I've got your back bro.

  @TeeCGGaming 70% of the “pool” goes to groups spamming side event entries or buying tickets. Money hack? Yes. Good prizing? No. BotRK has 2 $1.5k listings on eBay and 0 sales, so t8 without best-of is terrible regardless. All while Riot charges 1M+ in entries for the weekend. Poppy hahahahaha

  Grok (@grok) reported 34 minutes ago

  @GregIsKitty As M&A analyst: Per the proposal docs (50/50 cash/stock structure, $56B total at $125/eBay share), stock portion = $28B. GME shares outstanding ~448.4M. For existing shareholders to own exactly 40% post-merger: issue ~672.6M new shares. Required GME price = $28B / 672.6M ≈ $41.63/share. Warrants (59M $32 strike): If exercised above $32, they add ~$1.9B cash + minor dilution. Base calc assumes no exercise. Ryan's 60/40 framing implies confidence GME reaches ~$40+ by close.

  "Half cash, Half stock" Sounded like a meme right? Picture this: @TheRoaringKitty comes back with options on both $GME & $EBAY BOTH SHOOT UP The deal fails. Gamestop cashes its derivatives for a massive gain no issues because no deal. Ebay stock falls below OG offer. Free Ebay

  @CluelessCardGuy have only good experiences tbh. eBay protection works really well in case of issues. Always check seller reviews, previous sold items, etc. before making any purchase. Reviews are everything and give you an enhanced peace of mind. I’m a seller on eBay too, and reviews matter a lot imo.

  Been going down a rabbit hole on $SMWB job postings ahead of May 13 earnings. Found something worth flagging. Most SimilarWeb job descriptions use the same standard customer wording. "Google; eBay; and Adidas." It shows up consistently across postings. This one reads differently. "Our unique data and solutions empower over 5,700 customers globally; including industry giants like Google; Meta; and OpenAI" Meta and OpenAI replacing eBay and Adidas as the named reference customers. Companies do not swap out their reference customers accidentally. These choices are deliberate signals about who they are working with and who they want to attract talent to serve. If accurate this would mean OpenAI is an active paying SimilarWeb customer. Not a prospect. Not a conversation. A named reference customer used to recruit talent publicly. This sits alongside what we already know. The Data for AI team working directly with foundational model companies. Two large LLM contracts pending. AI revenue up 3x in 2025 representing 11% of Q4 revenue. And the Senior Post-Merger Integration Manager role that appeared this week with pre-signing strategy language. I could be reading too much into a job posting. But the pattern keeps building. Earnings May 13. Before market open. $SMWB

  great to see this user growth on $cards after adding the sealed decks gacha and graded comics gachas, exactly what I wanted to see i've bullposted them for for a while but if I had to sum up why i'm so bullish : - ebay is a terrible experience, and buying/selling tokenized versions of collectibles stored in a vault that you can then have delivered, with significantly less fees for sellers and instant liquidity is a vastly better experience. most people at card shows and ebay haven't tried the collector crypt (and competitor) experience, I think that's a huge market that they'll be able to grab a reasonable chunk of - tokenized collectibles, to me, are a better realization of what nfts were trying to be. i obv like nfts, kept a lot from that run and had a ton of fun, but slamming gachas and all the other variations we're going to have is great fun except with beloved physical goods with decades of history behind them - think there's going to be a broader wealth effect at play as I think it's safe to say people aggressively playing ai/related stocks, and the people that managed to survive in crypto and are finally seeing some tokens pump, are the right demographics to more or less repeat what happened during the nft run except with real tokenized collectibles - revenue per user and user retention, along with how many users are redeeming the tokens for physical items, are all excellent sure, pokemon may top at some point in the next while, one piece might, but it's not like tokenized comics, books, video games, whatever other rare items that get tokenized have had similar bubbles yet and their values are only rising I think $cards has been executing well and they're best positioned to take over this market

  @cvpayne @ryancohen Mr. Payne, I watched your interview with Ryan Cohen earlier today and felt compelled to reach out. You gave him the platform he deserved and asked the questions that actually mattered. Thank you. As someone with a deeply personal stake in this story, and 25 years of eBay experience, I am asking you to please pass this along to @ryancohen AN OPEN LETTER TO RYAN COHEN Mr. Cohen, I have been an eBay buyer since 1999 and a seller for a decade. I’ve also been an Amazon seller. I stopped selling on both platforms because the fees became cost prohibitive. The margins simply disappeared. I know I am not alone. I am also the mother of a long term GME stockholder who believed in you when the mainstream financial media spent years doing everything in their power to destroy that stock. My son never wavered. Not once. Five years of manufactured doubt, narrative suppression and relentless ridicule, and he held the line. Your CNBC interviewers got exactly what they deserved. They spent years predicting and manufacturing your demise and you gave them nothing. Charles Payne got the real Ryan Cohen because he came with genuine curiosity and zero agenda. This acquisition is nothing short of inspiring. The vision is clear, the timing is right, and the opportunity is enormous. Before you restructure eBay, please spend real time in the seller communities. The people who were priced off that platform want to come back. And the sellers still there right now need a reason to STAY. Address them, their issues and you will have an army of advocates. eBay needs you. My son believed in you before the rest of the world caught up. So do I. Nancy Gulbrandsen P.S. My first eBay purchase? A Pokémon Charizard card for my son’s Christmas present.
