GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is reconsidering his $56 billion bid to acquire eBay after lukewarm reactions from Wall Street. Instead, he is exploring a partnership that would give eBay access to GameStop’s 1,600 US stores, aiming to expand in trading cards and collectibles markets. GameStop, which holds a 9.75% stake in eBay, also seeks a board seat. eBay’s board previously rejected Cohen’s offer, doubting its credibility and financing.
