About eBay Inc
Founded in 1995, eBay operates one of the world's largest online marketplaces, connecting buyers and sellers across more than 190 markets. In 2025, the firm generated $11.1 billion in revenue on nearly $80 billion of gross merchandise volume, serving 135 million active buyers and 18 million active sellers (users who closed at least one transaction in the past year). The firm monetizes its marketplace primarily through transaction fees and advertising, with 52% of revenue derived from the US and the remainder from international markets. In a bid to expand its reach among Generation Z and in the recommerce sector, eBay announced the $1.2 billion acquisition of fashion resale app Depop from Etsy in early 2026.

5 articlesGameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is pursuing an acquisition of eBay for $125 per share in a half-cash, half-stock deal, leveraging $9 billion in cash and $20 billion in financing commitments. Cohen argues eBay is underperforming and claims he can significantly improve profitability through $2 billion in cost cuts, drawing on his e-commerce experience from Chewy. Despite eBay's rejection of the proposal, Cohen remains committed to bringing the deal directly to shareholders.
eBay's board rejected GameStop's $55.5 billion unsolicited takeover bid ($125 per share), calling it 'neither credible nor attractive.' The rejection cited financing uncertainty, valuation concerns, and execution risks. eBay shares fell 0.90% in premarket trading to $107.16, while GameStop shares dropped 4.19% to $22.20. eBay's stock remains up 56.35% over the past 12 months with bullish technical indicators.
eBay's board has definitively rejected GameStop's $56 billion acquisition proposal, calling it 'neither credible nor attractive.' eBay Chairman Paul Pressler cited concerns about financing uncertainty, leverage, operational risks, and GameStop's governance structure. eBay reaffirmed its commitment to standalone growth and confidence in its current management team.
Multiple companies announced strategic reviews and M&A activity. J.M. Smucker hired Goldman Sachs for a portfolio review amid activist pressure, potentially leading to a Hostess sale. Meta acquired Assured Robot Intelligence for AI robotics development. Meanwhile, BuzzFeed faces bankruptcy risk after missing a $5 million debt payment with a May 18 deadline. Other notable deals include GameStop's $55 billion non-binding proposal for eBay, Angelini Pharma's $4.1 billion acquisition of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, and Ametek's $5 billion purchase of Indicor's instrumentation businesses.
GameStop has proposed a $56 billion acquisition of eBay, a company nearly 4x its size. While the deal makes strategic sense operationally—leveraging GameStop's collectibles expertise and eBay's marketplace—the financing structure is concerning. The deal would saddle the combined entity with $25 billion in debt against ~$2.5 billion in annual operating cash flow, essentially creating a highly leveraged eBay with physical stores. The acquisition also benefits CEO Ryan Cohen's compensation package significantly.
