eBay rebuffs GameStop’s $56B bid, citing credibility and governance concerns
eBay’s board rejected GameStop’s roughly $55.5–$56 billion proposal to acquire the company, saying the bid was neither credible nor attractive due to funding uncertainties, governance concerns, and questions about standalone value; GameStop’s shares dropped in premarket trading, and a twist that Cohen was reportedly selling GameStop gear on eBay to fund the bid highlighted the deal’s oddities as eBay pursues growth amid competition from Walmart, Amazon, and others.
