eBay layoffs: Reports suggest up to 800 employees impacted across US and global teams

eBay is reportedly cutting nearly 800 jobs in yet another round of layoffs. Though the company has not yet made any official announcement, several laid off employees have shared online posts on LinkedIn and anonymous workplace forums such as Blind.

According to thelayoff.com, the job cuts appear to be taking place today and could affect around 800 workers, or roughly 6% of eBay’s global workforce. Employees across several U.S. states, including Oregon, Utah, Texas and California, have said they were impacted, suggesting the cuts may be widespread and not limited to a single team or location.

eBay layoffs: US team may be impacted

As of now, eBay has not publicly confirmed the number of roles affected, the departments involved, or the reason behind the reported move.However, people familiar with the situation say the layoffs appear to span multiple divisions. Some employees posting online have claimed that teams are being reduced as certain roles are moved overseas. One post on TheLayoff forum said that several US-based positions were being shifted to India and Ireland, though this has not been verified by the company. “Half my team including myself laid off..moving out roles to india and Ireland.

I think by now those impacted are aware,” the post read.“After 10.5 incredible years, I’m heartbroken to share that I—along with 800 talented colleagues—was impacted by today’s layoffs at eBay. I am deeply grateful for my time there. What began as my first “real” job grew into a decade of meaningful personal and professional development. I joined as someone just starting out in my career and had the privilege of growing up within the company—challenged, supported, and continually learning along the way.

Most of all, I built relationships that extend far beyond the workplace. Some of my closest friends came from those years, and it’s the people I will miss most. As I begin the next chapter, I’m feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement about what’s ahead. If you’re aware of opportunities within Learning organizations, Outsource Operations Management, or Project Management, I would truly appreciate the opportunity to connect and apply.

Thank you all for your support,” wrote another impacted staff member on LinkedIn. In the past, eBay has said it planned to expand operations in lower-cost regions, including India, while reducing roles in other markets.The reported cuts come amid broader changes at eBay, including a growing push toward using artificial intelligence in areas such as customer support.
