Struggling Video Game Retailer GameStop Is Reportedly Trying To Buy…eBay?!

The Wall Street Journal reports that GameStop is building a stake in eBay and may make an acquisition offer by month-end.

If eBay’s board resists, CEO Ryan Cohen could take the bid directly to shareholders.

The move comes after GameStop’s mixed earnings and eBay’s strong revenue growth.

A deal would be an unusual reversal for GameStop and could sharply affect both companies’ stock outlooks.
