GameStop’s unsolicited $55.5 billion cash-and-stock bid for eBay, announced May 3-4, triggered the current market-implied odds, but eBay’s board rejected the proposal on May 12 as “neither credible nor attractive.” The offer valued eBay at a 20-46% premium yet faced immediate skepticism over GameStop’s ability to secure the roughly $28 billion cash component—despite its $9.4 billion balance sheet and TD Securities’ highly confident letter for up to $20 billion in financing—along with the extreme size disparity and limited strategic overlap. Analysts highlighted execution risks, potential dilution from stock issuance, and regulatory hurdles. With no new developments or revised terms since the rejection, trader consensus continues to price a completed acquisition as improbable absent a dramatically altered approach or shareholder pressure campaign.

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.
