eBay Inc. announced on February 26, 2026, that it will lay off approximately 800 employees. This reduction represents 6% of the company’s full-time workforce. Management described the measure as a strategic realignment to reinvest in the business. The company will continue hiring for other key priorities.
This action marks eBay’s third round of job cuts since 2023. The company previously reduced its headcount by approximately 1,000 positions in early 2024. It also eliminated 500 roles in early 2023.
The current layoffs affect employees across multiple U.S. states. Reports indicate that eBay is moving certain roles to India and Ireland as part of the restructuring. These organizational changes aim to align the company's structure with its long-term strategic goals.
