GameStop’s unsolicited May 2026 proposal to acquire eBay for $55.5 billion at $125 per share in cash and stock has produced little traction, leaving Polymarket traders pricing an 84.5% chance the deal fails. The primary driver remains the stark size mismatch—GameStop’s roughly $12 billion market capitalization and $9.4 billion cash position versus eBay’s scale—combined with heavy reliance on uncommitted third-party financing and substantial equity issuance that would dilute existing shareholders. eBay’s board confirmed receipt of the non-binding offer but has shown no engagement, while GameStop’s incremental stake buildup to 6.6% has not altered the dynamic. With no binding agreement, regulatory clearance, or material updates in the six weeks since the announcement, market-implied odds reflect the low probability of overcoming financing, valuation, and shareholder-approval hurdles before any credible closing timeline.

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 proposal to acquire eBay for $55.5 billion at $125 per share in cash and stock has produced little traction, leaving Polymarket traders pricing an 84.5% chance the deal fails.
