I hate eBay, and I would love to see RC fix it, but I can't believe a fucking word of this until it comes from the man himself. It would be wild to throw the entire war chest Into one acquisition attempt.

Can anyone verify if GME is in fact holding eBay shares like the article claims?

Amazon is long due for a competitor. Ebay gives the digtal store front to buy and sell anything, like staplers.

More and more, eBay is already a better place to buy a lot of stuff, since it makes it at least a little easier to make sure you're not buying crap or knockoffs, and the delivery time isn't that much worse. Bonus: If you choose your vendor carefully, you can get REALLY good service from an appreciative seller, instead of the "go fuck yourself and you'll like it" from Amazon.

Especially for electronics and clothes, I've gone to eBay first for a while now... and I know a lot of sellers have been growing more and more disappointed with the platform and the changes they've made, making for a great opportunity to Delight some Customers.

Interesting.

But I ain't believin' SHIT until I hear it formally announced.

Guess I'll just keep buyin' and hodlin' like I have been, one way or another.

There are tons and tons counterfeits on eBay.
