eBay is laying off about 800 employees, or 6% of its workforce, as part of a push to focus on "strategic priorities." The job cuts are spread across the company, with decisions based on operating model needs, areas of duplication, and alignment to future priorities. About one-third of affected roles were in the Bay Area (243 at San Jose HQ, 28 in San Francisco). This marks eBay's third workforce reduction in three years. The move comes a week after eBay's $1.2B acquisition of Depop from Etsy, and the company has been investing heavily in AI while expanding operations to lower-cost regions.
