  @TigerDude96 @Stalvey48 You can't count Ebay, that's the home of grossly overpriced stuff, you buy off of ebay you do at your own risk. The website, which you are trying to get taken down is legit. Fact of feelings

  @Roaringalpaca4 eBay overhang will negate any beat. Cohen talks and stock tanks so I hope he speaks. Earnings will be good but won’t matter. Gme is headed down that’s what they want. Nothing longs can do

  @DiligentDenizen Everyone using Grok and this platform contributes to the high demand of these datacenters. Same goes for Facebook, ChatGPT, Amazon, Uber, EBay, Netflix, Google and the rest. How about addressing the high demand issue first?

  @BosCardHunter PSA GAMESTOP/EBAY was a problem that was meant to explode. 3rd party submission, with possible up charges, alternating, no insurance from shipper or no insurance from PSA (this is wild especially when they up charge.)

  @foxenflask @Comedyorwat Like where your thesis is at. I would say that a re-rate of $GME prior to the Schedule TO makes the most sense. 1. Crush Q1 earnings, 2. Host earnings call with forward guidance to give shareholders confidence in per-share value with this eBay plan (not dilutive empire building) 3. Shareholders vote and approve shares and comp package 4. Immediate dilution doesn’t happen (per Ryan’s FG call) 5. Market starts saying… oh ****, he’s not doing this until it makes sense, and starts pricing in THAT alternative 6. Campaign continues with more eBay buying, more board pressure 7. Another financial backer/s comes in and slaps money down 8. Market starts saying… oh ****, this is gonna happen and starts pricing that in 9. Now $GME sits above (preferably $35) a solid price that makes for less dilution, better financing, and an even sweeter deal / schedule TO is laid on the table for eBay shareholders I don’t see this happening until $GME > $35, but I think he has a plan to get there.

  @MrKdub All cards are more beautiful when taken out of any plastic to be photographed. The fact this isn’t industry standard on eBay is a problem to me. No shade here either, cards definitely look cooler in a one touch. 💯 🙌🏼

  @ValueAddedRS I can’t see @ryancohen letting this kind of thing happen! That’s why I put a pause on selling on the @ebay platform after 25 years of doing so. It lost all fun and excitement for me as a seller. It became more trouble than it was worth.

  @ShaunFitzzzy @ryancohen It's offensive, How sloppy the Ebay C suite behaves.. it is as if they don't care and can't be caught or corrected, thus why bother - just more doubling down while turning up the financial extraction strategies. It is looking as if they have a plan and are running a play....

  @ShadaKaDjo Yes. Mine was USPS media mail. It's cheaper but there is no insurance at all if they screw up. That's the one problem with buying on Ebay. You can see the books better and less of them use stock images. But they just want to use that darn awful media mail. I'd rather pay more.

  @GenePark It's a late adoption tax for a system that is having it's production ramped down. If it's now no longer worth buying, why were people spending $800 to get used ones of Ebay?

  @ODB123 I really appreciate your optimism but GME is down bad over any timeframe you look at it. If we apply eBay logic to GameStop it’s down on the week, months, year, 5 year. Why doesn’t anyone try taking it over ? Something doesn’t seem to be working.

  @BetterDays47 @Kyl0Z3n They hold puts too. Shorting eBay down to $90 would only be helping RC purchase more of the company for cheaper. Why would they do that?

  eBay $EBAY is sitting on $6.7B in gross debt, paying $61M/quarter in interest, and about to drop $1.2B cash on Depop. Yet management just declared another $0.31/share dividend (~$556M annualized), with tomorrow (May 29) as the ex-dividend date and cash going out June 12. Buffett said it best in his 1984 letter: “Unrestricted earnings should be retained only when there is a reasonable prospect that for every dollar retained by the corporation, at least one dollar of market value will be created for owners.” eBay is returning hundreds of millions to shareholders annually while simultaneously carrying nearly $7B in gross debt at $244M in annual interest charges. That capital could be paying down debt, shoring up the balance sheet ahead of a $1.2B acquisition close, or reinvested into a platform that is visibly losing competitive ground. Instead, the company is prioritizing optics over fundamentals. Active buyers grew just 1% YoY. The platform went down for ~48 hours in April after a cyberattack. The board quietly rewrote its own oversight committee charters after settling a federal cyberstalking criminal case. Sellers are now filing class action suits over surprise fee structures. A company with genuine earnings power and a clean balance sheet paying a dividend makes sense. A leveraged platform with stagnating user growth, mounting legal exposure, and a nine-figure acquisition pending doing the same deserves serious scrutiny.

  @eBay I’m really frustrated at this point. Nothing has been resolved, and there haven’t been any updates or communication. I’ve been patient, but I need a real update on what’s being done and when this issue is actually going to be fixed.

  @auroralchorus @Parker69922 eBay seller just has the wrong size drive listed. There is also some kind of odd issue with it 1.38TB doesn’t match up to anything well. It’s likely a 2TB drive with an odd format applied.

  @ValueAddedRS @ryancohen This is probably due to consolidated data, where it appears the more successful you are the more eBay places your advert in low intent searches you have no control over and your ROAS goes down. Linked to phrase and broad match KWs mainly but exact also works like phrase on eBay

  @ChaddSchroy They’re going with RC. Not only merger will not happen, EBAY and GME shares will be down at the same time. Don’t you think the people that shorted GME to infinity can’t short ebay the same way? RC fumbled big time after getting those billions of dollars. There was the world’s safest upside: just buy some mega caps that are impossible to be shorted against their great fundamentals. And after doubling the cash, sell and start buying back the bonds and even do share buybacks…. GME could have been a $100 stock with this strategy. But RC preferred to bail out the shorts for tge first 10 years. His plan is working… retail is losing.

  @idealideas @ThePPseedsShow GameStop is not buying eBay. Ryan is making everyone effort to make wallstreet believe he wants ebay, wants shirts to leverage up, double down shorting, then wham, out of left field Teddy arrives. Shorts caught holding their diks while watching eBay theatre.

  @eBay And the first thing that link does and ask you to sign it. How the heck are you supposed to sign in when someone has used your email address to create their account? It’s impossible to sign in and then there’s nowhere to go.

  @frozentiljly @eBay What did you get versus what you ordered? I investigate fraudulent orders and other ecommerce package error statistics. There is a DNA to these things, and although you get your money back with a chargeback, and rightfully so; the culprits still get away with it and that =fees

  This is one of the worst eBay authentication stories I’ve read yet. An eBay Employee Bought My $10,000 Card. What Happened Next Is Insane How An eBay Employee Used eBay’s Own Authentication Mistake To Reverse A $10,000 Card Sale Looking for opinions from the hobby because this one is wild. On May 17th I sold what was believed to be the first publicly available Steph Curry Finest Fans Gold redemption on eBay for $10,000. After the sale, I noticed the item was not routing through Authentication Guarantee and appeared to be shipping directly to the buyer. Wanting protection for both sides, I called eBay Authentication directly. I explained exactly what the item was and was instructed by Authentication to cancel the transaction and relist the item a specific way so it would route through their program. I followed those instructions exactly. The buyer was fully aware of the situation, knew it was a redemption, knew why the transaction was being canceled and relisted, and knowingly repurchased the card under the new listing. I then spent hundreds of dollars overnighting the redemption from the breaker to myself and overnighting it again to authentication. A few days later eBay physically received the item, inspected it, released it, and shipped it to the buyer. At the exact same time eBay also emailed saying the item was miscategorized and ineligible for Authentication Guarantee. So according to eBay: * The item was accepted. * The item was inspected. * The item was released. * The item was shipped. But somehow it was also ineligible. Meanwhile the market for the card dropped significantly as additional copies surfaced publicly. The buyer, who represented himself as working around eBay/authentication operations and whose messages I will post, is now using that exact technical authentication issue as the basis for an Item Not As Described return despite fully understanding the situation before the second transaction was ever completed. To make matters worse, I now have screenshots showing eBay support instructing the buyer how to file the return. The card delivered was exactly the card purchased. The buyer knew it was a redemption. The buyer knew about the authentication issue. The buyer repurchased after full disclosure. So my question is simple: How is a seller supposed to protect themselves when eBay tells you how to list an item, processes it through authentication, ships it to the buyer, and then allows a return based on the very issue eBay created? I have every screenshot, email, timestamp, tracking update, and conversation documenting the entire timeline and will post them below. @ebay maybe let @GameStop try this for a bit.

  @imanisdamandj @CP24 I was specifically told by 2 different repair techs to never buy LG or Samsung appliances. I had LG fridge, dishwasher and stove. Repaired all 3 within 5yrs of purchase x2, replaced fridge and dishwsr, last fix for stove I did myself which was motherboard I purchased off of eBay.
