EBay has rejected a $56bn takeover bid from the much smaller GameStop over financing doubts, calling the proposal “neither credible nor attractive”.

EBay, which has roughly four times GameStop’s market value, also underscored on Tuesday that its turnaround efforts under CEO Jamie Iannone have boosted growth, with its stock returning 201 percent since Iannone took the position six years ago.
