This is our daily Tech and Business Report. We're joined by Bloomberg's Aaron Weinman. Gamestop wants to buy Ebay using a huge amount of borrowed money, but some analysts are skeptical of the math. Financing for the deal, provided by TD Bank, is dependent upon the potential merged company receiving a strong credit rating, but the deal would create so much debt that it seems like a long shot.
