GameStop's bold $55.5 billion bid for eBay has caused stock volatility but highlights the retailer's improving operating profits despite shrinking revenue. The deal involves a 55.5 million-share exchange, clarifying dilution concerns and valuing GameStop's core business at about $2.5 billion after accounting for cash, eBay stake, and debt.
