In a notice to the California Employment Development Department, eBay said that it plans to slash nearly 300 jobs from Bay Area locations by July 20. The company, which called the cuts a “mass layoff,” said that it informed those being laid off at the end of June, according to The Mercury News, which obtained a copy of the notice. The layoffs will span eBay’s locations in San Jose, San Francisco, and Brisbane, according to the report. The San Jose office has been affected most by the layoffs, with 224 of the cuts coming to that location.
The online auction site’s decision comes after eBay has been experiencing some problems in its business. While the company’s revenue was up to $9.6 billion last year from $9 billion in the prior year, it took a loss of $1 billion. In the first quarter of this year, eBay’s profits slipped 60.7% year over year to $407 million.
In online retailing, there can be only one.

This is why [soggy.jobs] there are so very many homeless people in San Francisco.
Also Los Angeles [soggy.jobs], Portland [soggy.jobs], Seattle [soggy.jobs] and New York City [soggy.jobs].
And yes, by building Soggy Jobs I am contributing to the problem.
However my over-arching goal in building the site is to enable most of the Earth's population - not just coders but every other occupation [soggy.jobs] as well - to find quality employment without having to relocate.
I also aim to help employers find quality staff in their own communities, without having to recruit far-away staff that they will have to relocate.
