eBay to Cut Around 1,000 Jobs in Second Round of Layoffs to Focus Growth
eBay plans to cut about 1,000 to 1,100 jobs, representing roughly 9% of its workforce, as part of a second round of layoffs this year to streamline operations and focus on high-growth areas like authenticated luxury goods, collectibles, and refurbished products. CEO Jamie Iannone stated the strategy is working and emphasized reallocating resources to key priorities. The company previously cut 800 jobs in February and recently acquired fashion resale platform Depop to expand in the re-commerce market. Earnings are expected next week.
