eBay announced it will lay off 800 workers, representing 6 percent of its global workforce. The company stated it's taking steps to reinvest across its business and align its structure with strategic priorities, affecting certain roles throughout its workforce, according to a statement reported by Bloomberg.

This workforce reduction comes alongside a busy week of business updates for the e-commerce giant. On the same day eBay reported its latest financial results, it revealed plans to acquire Depop from Etsy for $1.2 billion. The secondhand fashion marketplace purchase follows eBay's $11.1 billion in 2025 full-year revenue.

While eBay is reducing staff in some areas, Bloomberg noted the company will continue hiring in "key areas" without specifying which fields. The restructuring reflects eBay's efforts to streamline operations while investing in strategic growth areas, balancing cost-cutting with expansion through major acquisitions like Depop.
