Perhaps that is part of the scam here. Meme stock buyers will think this means something and will spend more on worthless shares so that ebay executives can sell.
… and the stock has not dropped 39%, in fact it’s trading about where it was a year ago. Shareholders have been content to let Cohen add to the balance sheet, adjust operations and make a large move. This is one such move. And GME is up 5+% in pre trading, so shareholders are generally positive about this idea.
If Cohen's "large move" was to buy EBay, investors could have done that themselves. They would have gotten a better deal on shares in the new company. Also, they'd be up 50% over 12 months. Partly because Cohen "adding to the balance sheet" has meant dilutions, and there will be more for this deal.

They already increased total number of stock by +39% in last 12 months, GME will squeeze the last penny from those people.

They can sell now and pocket some extra money. What's not to like?
If bagholders were capable of buying low and selling high, they wouldn't be bagholders.
you think all the bagholders are in at the current price?
If they didn't like the current prospects they can bail at a profit.
If they do like them they have no excuse if things go south.
