eBay: 1,000 jobs cut

Cut 9% of workforce. Company denied AI-related but simultaneously increased AI spending significantly. The AI attribution is indirect; the company is investing in AI but did not explicitly link these specific cuts to automation. Of the 1,000 total positions affected, our methodology estimates that approximately 150 roles (15%) are attributable to AI-driven changes. This is part of a broader pattern in E-commerce where companies are restructuring operations around AI capabilities while reducing headcount in functions susceptible to automation.
