EBay said Thursday it plans to cut around 800 jobs, or 6 per cent of its workforce, in its latest round of layoffs.

“We are taking steps to reinvest across our business and align our structure with our strategic priorities, which will affect certain roles across our workforce,” an eBay spokesperson said in a statement. “We are grateful for the contributions of the employees impacted and are committed to supporting them with care and respect.”

EBay stated that the job reductions will affect various parts of the company and were determined based on operating model requirements, overlapping roles, and alignment with future priorities.

As of December 31, 2025, the company employed 12,300 people worldwide, according to its most recent annual filing.

In recent years, EBay has continued reducing its workforce while increasing investments in artificial intelligence.

The company has rolled out AI tools internally and is integrating the technology across its buyer and seller platforms. It has also partnered with OpenAI on its agentic web browser.

These investments come as EBay seeks to compete with larger, faster-growing rivals such as Amazon and Walmart, as well as other online marketplaces like Etsy, TikTok Shop, Temu, and Shein.

Last week, EBay announced plans to acquire Etsy’s secondhand clothing platform Depop for approximately $1.2 billion in cash.
