A physical store stocked with what? EBay’s strength in today's world is its enormous base of third party sellers all over the world carrying the most niche odds and ends you can think of. Just to be able to show these seller's merchandise in stores would be a massive logistical nightmare. No physical store and certainly not the ones GameStop sized can carry a fraction of what eBay has to offer. They have to fundamentally reshape the business and throw away what made them successful if they want physical stores to make any sense.
