eBay said on February 26, 2026 that it would lay off about 800 employees, roughly 6% of its full-time workforce, to align its structure with strategic priorities and reinvest across the business. The company said the cuts would span departments and divisions where it found duplication or shifts in priority. The announcement came a week after eBay agreed to buy the second-hand clothing app Depop from rival Etsy for $1.2 billion. This was its third round of layoffs since 2023, following roughly 1,000 job cuts in 2024 and 500 in 2023. Specific severance terms for affected staff were not disclosed.

Reason: Layoff Permanent
eBay announced in late May 2025 that it would close its R&D center in Netanya, Israel, affecting more than 200 employees. The shutdown, targeted for completion by Q1 2026, is the final chapter of a years-long wind-down at the site, which eBay originally built through its $620 million acquisition of Shopping.com in 2005. The company said the decision reflects a continuing review of its "operational footprint to optimize support for our people, customers and long-term strategic objectives." Previous rounds had already cleared out marketing, sales, and development staff; the remaining R&D team will be the last to go. eBay said it would provide transition support to affected workers, though it disclosed no specific severance terms.
