GameStop's $55–56 billion unsolicited cash-and-stock bid for eBay, announced in May 2026 at a 46% premium, was swiftly rejected by eBay's board as neither credible nor attractive, citing financing doubts despite GameStop's $9.4 billion cash hoard and TD Securities' highly confident letter for up to $20 billion in debt. eBay's market capitalization remains roughly four times larger, amplifying execution, leverage, and governance risks highlighted in the rejection. Recent reports indicate CEO Ryan Cohen is weighing withdrawal in favor of a partnership or joint venture, while GameStop has raised its eBay stake to 10% and lifted fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance above $600 million. These developments underpin the 91.5% market-implied probability of no acquisition, though a successful proxy campaign or revised terms could still alter the outcome.

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).
