GameStop Builds 9.8% eBay Stake, Presses Rejected $56 Billion Bid

The July 17 Schedule 13D/A amendment puts GameStop's holding at 43,390,383 shares, its fourth update since May.

  • GameStop's unsolicited offer, made May 3, 2026, priced eBay shares at $125 each.
  • eBay's board rejected that bid on May 12, 2026, per GameStop's own filing.
  • Schedule 13D signals activist intent, unlike a passive 13G ownership filing.

Why it matters: eBay's board can refuse an offer; it cannot refuse the votes behind a growing stake.
