You used to sell stuff on eBay. Maybe an old camera. Maybe Beanie Babies. Maybe a coat that didn't fit. You paid a small fee. The buyer got the thing. Everyone went home. That eBay is gone. The website looks the same. The logo is the same. The 135 million buyers are still there. But the company isn't really a marketplace anymore. It is an advertising business with a marketplace attached for distribution. Last year, sellers paid eBay $2 billion just to make sure their own listings showed up. Read that again. The board calls this growth. A Canadian who runs a video game store called it something else. Here is what actually happened. In 2020 the board hired a new CEO. His name is Jamie Iannone. He arrived with a strategy called focused categories. In plain English, that means leaning into the stuff people pay extra for. Sneakers. Watches. Trading cards. Auto parts. The everyday seller, the person with the camera and the coat, was no longer the customer. The customer was now the seller who would pay to be seen. In 2025 eBay did $80 billion in transactions. They kept $11 billion of that as revenue. Of that $11 billion, $2 billion came from advertising. Sellers paid them $2 billion to promote listings on a website those sellers already pay fees to use. That is the growth story. In the same year, the number of enthusiast buyers, eBay's own term for their best customers, was 16 million. It was also 16 million the year before. And the year before that. And the year before that. Four years. Zero growth. They mention this on every earnings call without mentioning it. So what does a company do when growth stops? It buys back its own stock. In 2025, eBay returned over $3 billion to shareholders. Most of that was buybacks. In February the board authorized another $2 billion on top. Buybacks shrink the share count. Earnings per share goes up even when earnings stay flat. The stock price follows. The stock was $68 a year ago. It is $108 today. The company did not improve. The denominator got smaller. Then a man from Canada noticed. His name is Ryan Cohen. He runs GameStop. He started his career selling pet food online and sold it to PetSmart for $3.35 billion. He looked at eBay. 135 million buyers. $80 billion in transactions. Real margins. Real cash flow. A board harvesting the business instead of running it. He bought 5% of the company through derivatives and stock. Then on May 4, he offered to buy the rest. $125 per share. $56 billion total. On May 12, the eBay board rejected the bid. They called it not credible. The math is credible. What the board means by not credible is we would have to explain why we sold. Then Cohen went on Piers Morgan. He said eBay is run by a bunch of losers with perverse financial incentives. He pointed out that eBay's CEO has been paid $144 million over six years. He pointed out that he personally takes no salary and has put $128 million of his own money into the company he runs. You do not have to like Ryan Cohen to notice he is making a point that is hard to argue with. eBay used to be a place where regular people sold things to other regular people. Now it is a $48 billion company whose largest growth driver is charging its own sellers to advertise to a buyer base that stopped growing four years ago, while spending billions a year buying its own stock to make the chart go up. The board calls this strategy. A video game CEO from Canada called it what it is. The market is now waiting to see who else agrees. Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

@RB234234 @GenZPatriotz You can only apply equal force to someone else’s force upon you. If someone pushes you then you can’t shoot them.

Black guy murders White girl and says “got that White girl”. - Labeled too insane to stand trial - Not labeled a hate crime Chud calls man a word, the man charges at him and starts assaulting him, Chud uses self defense. - Charged with attempted murder - Labeled a hate crime

If YOUR investment losses money YOU get to deduct it off your tax - thus the tax payer pays NO risk to you. If the company you built folds owing customers $ millions the customers lose everything BUT the company owner walks away 'scot free', keeps his personal 'tax free' portfolio fortune while the poor customer gets no deduction in their tax for the loss. FUCK OFF.

Capital gains tax shouldn’t exist. I risk my money. I build the business. I make the investment. I do the work. I take the risk. So why the hell should the government take a cut of my success? They risk nothing. They create nothing. They just take. Parasites. F’en parasites.

@AmiriKing That is funny. Check under your dick, where your balls are. That is the pair your mom gave you. Most women don't have them, but they muster up the courage to complete a job. Most of the time they are finishing up what the man can't.

@AustinTobitt mark my words, RC will never come close to getting eBay. when most of your cash is made from diluting shareholders instead of actual profits, you should just stay in your lane.

@TrollypollyLive @AustinTobitt He should be able to turtle business around with the 9 billion he raised from shareholders over the years. Taking on 20 billion on debt and diluting shareholders again is retarded

If youre voting "no" during the $GME shareholder meeting, just do us all a favor and sell your shares ahead of time. It'll ensure a no-vote from whoever buys them prior to the meeting. If you vote "no", youre literally preventing GME from becoming anything other than a dying business

@AustinTobitt Gme investors bought for moass. Not years of dilution. With 9 billion cash, there are other companies gme could buy without destroying current shareholder value. Trying to make people feel bad for not immediately jumping in line is cult behavior.

$GME GameStop is asking shareholders to vote for the approval of the amendment to increase the number of authorized shares up to 2.5B and approve Ryan Cohen's performance award. Crazy timing after the fact Keith’s account got hacked. Nevertheless, how would you guys vote for this?
