One aspect that has flown under the radar of this proposed deal is Game Stop stores are generally classified as "second hand dealers" in all states they operate in. That is legally the same classification as pawn shops (same regulation, just that game stop has a different business model).
The point being, is that this deal would transform eBay into basically being an online reseller + pawn shop network in 50 states.
There is something there that is interesting....Facebook Marketplace has basically devoured a huge part of eBay's business and the 'local first' aspect of Facebook Marketplace is the biggest thing that eBay is missing....
