  @eBay_UK @eBay Why, I’ve shown you the issue with eBay. You send proof to the correct department and sort it out. My part is done

  If GameStop proves authenticated live commerce works at scale… eBay suddenly looks old. Not dead.
Not irrelevant. Just slow. And slow companies get disrupted.

  GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen Pushes Forward After eBay Rejects $56 Billion Bid eBay's board turned down GameStop's unsolicited $56 billion offer, citing doubts over financing, valuation, and merger risks, despite the bid's 46% premium over eBay's February price. Cohen, who holds a 5% stake through shares and derivatives, highlighted GameStop's shift from big losses to $130 million quarterly profits since he took over in 2023, backed by nearly $9 billion in cash and a confident debt letter. Retail investors cheered Cohen on, while he eyes synergies like using GameStop's 1,600 stores for eBay's collectibles and hints at rallying eBay's owners next. $EBAY $GME

  🚨GAMESTOP JUST TRIED TO BUY EBAY FOR $56 BILLION🚨 Ryan Cohen walks in with a $125/share cash+stock offer, says he'll fix their bloated mess using our 1,600 stores for real-world fulfillment... and eBay's board cries "not credible" like scared little kids. This is the SAME Ryan Cohen who turned a "dying" GameStop into a $10B+ beast with a war chest of cash while shorts have been bleeding since 2021. They laughed at us then. They're sweating now. Apes aren't selling. Diamond hands only. The real squeeze is just getting started. $GME #GameStop #RyanCohen #ApesTogetherStrong

  @NetAxisGroup If eBay is really worth fixing for 55B, the problem might not be the platform… it might be the people rejecting the check.

  @sagelovebars During Covid, when everything shut down, I bought used on eBay and built a very usable gym at home for under $500. I don't have to drive to a gym. I don't have to wait on other people. I don't have to deal with gym camera bunnies. I get to lift, on my schedule. Total win.

  @chrispavlovski Ok I’m down. If bidding is happening, I’m guessing like eBay. So bets would have to happen in real time. Could we use this to also get realtime analytics for what people are watching and when they are watching as it’s happening?

  @buythefukndip @ryancohen @Comedyorwat Ive been thinking this is a step towards getting the float monster part of the play in a paypal, venmo or insurance co. He will get as much cash out of ebay as possible no doubt, but much will go towards paying down debt early on. As we say these days, we will see what happens.

  @ValueAddedRS Hey Liz. Have you considered that eBay was just a valuation trap? Ryan used eBay to officially validated GameStops $20billion TD letter as legitimate by turning down the offer. So in public’s eyes ryan has $20 billion plus $9 billion. He’s buying the DK Buyterfly Inc shell.

  Ryan Cohen publicly calling eBay's management losers while sitting on a 5% stake is not a random outburst. That's how activist investors announce they're about to make someone's life difficult. eBay has been coasting on a brand that peaked in 2005 while Amazon and every vertical marketplace ate their lunch for two decades. Cohen isn't wrong about the execution. Whether he's the guy to fix it is a different question.

  Be Like Jamie Iannone, CEO of $EBAY - Slip, fall and land at Booz Allen Hamilton, the consulting firm of choice for people who want a prestigious first line on their résumé - Join Epinions dot com just in time for it to get absorbed into irrelevance - Spend eight years at eBay as a VP, accumulate titles, leave no memorable legacy, walk out the door - Become EVP at Barnes & Noble's Nook division, watch sales crater 61%, depart with two other senior executives just before the full reckoning arrives - Get promoted to COO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce, hold that title for three weeks, jump ship to eBay - Become eBay CEO in April 2020 on the strength of a collapsed e-reader division and a month of Walmart COO experience - Coin the phrase "tech-led reimagination" and repeat it for five years - Inherit a campus pub called "The Sellar" serving free beer and wine daily from 3 PM to 6 PM, built at company expense as a replica of your predecessor's favorite Manhattan bar, inside a company whose culture federal court documents described as one of "heavy drinking" pervasive throughout the workday - Inherit the fallout from your predecessor's security chief, Jim Baugh, ex-CIA operative, who ran a terror campaign against newsletter journalists involving live spiders, cockroaches, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath, death threats, pornographic magazines sent to neighbors, and a 3,000-mile surveillance drive to Massachusetts in a black van - Watch seven eBay employees convicted, Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison, eBay hit with six felony charges and the maximum $3 million criminal fine, ordered to address "consumption of alcohol to excess on Company premises," and keep The Sellar open anyway - Watch the victims settle just before trial after seeking $466 million in punitive damages - Collect $144 million in compensation over six years, never buy a single share of eBay stock, and execute 53 insider transactions, all sales, offloading $71.59 million in gifted shares - Redefine GMV, call a $13 billion annual impact "immaterial," then when restated buyer figures still look bad, stop reporting active buyers altogether and pivot to metrics you define and control - Preside over 16 consecutive quarters of active buyer counts below Q1 2018 levels, watching the total fall from 163 million to 136 million, padding that last number with 1 million acquired via Tise - Raise seller fees every single year, build ad revenue to a nearly $2 billion annualized run rate by changing attribution so one click triggers fees on every subsequent sale for 30 days, sending seller ad costs from 30-40% to 80-90%+ of sales with no increase in actual returns - Mask GAAP operating margin declining from 37.6% in 2020 to 20.8% in 2025 by always leading with the non-GAAP figure, making the business look 5-6 points healthier than it is - Lay off 500, then 1,000, then 800 employees while your own pay grows - Acquire TCGplayer for $295 million, watch its employees unionize, hire a union-busting law firm, strip workers' rights language from your own human rights policy, lose every NLRB case, and only bargain when legally forced - Acquire Depop for $1.2 billion, a company losing $54 million on $128 million in revenue that Etsy already wrote down by $425 million, call it a Gen Z strategy, ignore Morgan Stanley projecting it won't break even until 2028 - Sell 343,000 banned emissions defeat devices and 23,000 illegal pesticides years after federal cease-and-desist orders, then schedule a sustainability media blitz the same afternoon the DOJ files suit - Have Ryan Cohen and $GME offer $125 per share, a 46% premium and an all-time high valuation, and reject it as "neither credible nor attractive" while margins decline, buyers leave, and your latest acquisition loses money - Have Cohen note you took $144 million and bought zero shares while he invested $128 million of his own money and draws no salary - Call it a comeback - Keep selling your stock 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  Triangulation Fraud vs "Dropshipping" It's not uncommon for $EBAY buyers to receive orders "dropshipped" from Amazon, Walmart etc. There are many variations on the fraud, but generally: If it uses stolen credit card = crime No stolen cc = just terrible eBay buyer experience.

  @gitman_phil @bostong41476161 @ryancohen Right, so the massive offerings at $30+ had no effect. Acquisition news right as GME was breaking out and EBay was near ATHs didn’t drive the stock price down (contrary to your first reply) He filed that proxy like the quickness the second he THOUGHT RK was hack.

  @alt_w_v_g EBay is a dumpster fire. They openly let buyers scam sellers by letting them say they didn’t receive an item and automatically reimburse the buyer from the sellers account. I shut it down a few years ago now. Scammers everywhere

  @TimothyGre12262 Yeah, I get on eBay and sometimes can’t resist, couple weeks ago I bid way more than I should on a Gibson SG and was hoping someone would outbid me and they did. But this one wasn’t too bad and I wanted a vintage broken in guitar and I never tried a telecaster before. Now I see why they’re so popular, it sounds so good and it never seems to go out of tune.

  @ValueAddedRS FBA has essentially failed for the original vision Amazon had any they subsidized it massively for years. If they can’t make it work I don’t think anyone else can. I say it failed because FBA is now a terrible deal and hassle for small sellers or small quantities, they are getting pushed off the platform. Now FBA I’m sure is very profitable and strategic still for Amazon but it’s a different very narrow focus, at huge scale. ebay-type inventory just didn’t work there
