Will GameStop acquire eBay?

Traders currently price "No" at 94% for "Will GameStop acquire eBay?". Over the past 24 hours that probability moved up 1.0 points. The market has traded $2.8M in total volume and resolves Dec 31, 2026. GameStop’s unsolicited May 2026 cash-and-stock bid for eBay at roughly $55.5 billion, representing a premium to then-prevailing levels, was promptly rejected by eBay’s board as neither credible nor attractive, citing execution, financing, and governance risks given GameStop’s smaller market capitalization and balance sheet of approximately $9.7 billion in cash and securities. Subsequent stake-building to nearly 10 percent and reaffirmations of intent have not altered the trajectory, as regulatory hurdles, leverage concerns, and eBay’s independent scale continue to weigh on completion prospects. Trader consensus reflected in the 93.5 percent “No” probability prices these structural barriers while leaving room for low-probability shifts if GameStop secures committed financing or eBay encounters unforeseen pressure ahead of any shareholder vote.
