eBay to Cut 1,100 Jobs to Streamline Operations and Focus on Growth Areas
eBay plans to cut about 1,100 jobs, representing roughly 9% of its workforce, as part of efforts to streamline operations and focus on high-growth areas like luxury goods, collectibles, and refurbished products. CEO Jamie Iannone emphasized that the strategy is yielding results, with shares rising nearly 40% this year. The company also acquired fashion resale platform Depop for $1.4 billion, expanding its presence among younger consumers. Affected employees will be notified soon, and eBay is set to report earnings next week.
