Fears for Irish Ebay jobs amid planned shake-up

Ebay, which employs close to 3,000 people here, is planning to cut its global workforce by 2,400, or 7% during this quarter.

The California-based company, which has staff in its operations in Blanchardstown in Dublin and Dundalk, is planning to simplify its structure and boost profit ahead of a planned separation of its business.

The firm has indicated that the job cuts will fall across its marketplaces, PayPal and enterprise businesses.
