GameStop’s unsolicited May 2026 bid to acquire eBay for $125 per share in a $55.5 billion cash-and-stock transaction was rejected by eBay’s board as “neither credible nor attractive,” citing financing and strategic concerns. Despite GameStop building a roughly 7% stake and reporting record Q1 2026 earnings that included gains on eBay derivatives, the vast disparity in scale—GameStop’s market capitalization near $10 billion versus eBay’s approximately $48 billion—combined with skepticism over completing the financing has kept trader consensus heavily weighted against a deal. Cohen has signaled willingness to pursue a hostile path, yet no tender offer or board challenge has materialized, leaving implied odds for completion low absent major new developments.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if it is officially announced that eBay will be, has been, or is being acquired by or merged with GameStop, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Mergers or acquisitions involving eBay or its parent company, eBay Inc., and GameStop or its parent company (if applicable), will qualify.
An announcement by eBay or GameStop within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether or when the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs.
Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as GameStop acquires a controlling interest in eBay. A “controlling interest” refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company’s strategic decisions (typically more than 50% of equity, or equivalent control via voting and governance rights). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from eBay and GameStop; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.GameStop’s unsolicited May 2026 bid to acquire eBay for $125 per share in a $55.5 billion cash-and-stock transaction was rejected by eBay’s board as “neither credible nor attractive,” citing financing and strategic concerns.
