Daily Short Volume Pressure
EBAY Inc. (EBAY) experienced a notable surge in daily short volume, with the short volume ratio hitting 62.1% on September 18, 2026, according to FINRA data. This indicates heavy intraday short-selling pressure, distinct from the official bi-monthly short interest figures.
Open Position Context
While the daily flow shows aggressive shorting, the official short interest as of August 31, 2026, stood at 18 million shares, or 4.0% of shares outstanding. This represents an increase from the 3.5% reported in mid-August. The 'Days to Cover' is currently 4.0, which is considered elevated. Borrow fees remain low at 0.4%, and there is a workable supply of 5.2 million shares available to borrow, suggesting that the recent spike in short volume has not yet constrained the lending market.
