GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen said eBay permanently banned his personal account after he promoted GameStop’s $56 billion takeover offer for the platform. According to the new report, Cohen listed collectibles tied to the bid on eBay, with some auctions reaching thousands of dollars. The report adds that eBay’s board is expected to review the unsolicited proposal this week. eBay had previously said some user activity created risk for the community, but the source does not specify whether the listings directly triggered the ban or how the board will respond to the offer.
