eBay layoff risk analysis
eBay risk trend over the last 90 days
Across the last 79 days of scoring, eBay's layoff risk climbed 20 points, moving from 31 on August 1, 2026 to 51 today. It peaked at 52 on October 28, 2026 and bottomed out at 28 on August 18, 2026, a 24-point spread over the period. That leaves eBay in the moderate band today, and the size of the swing means the current reading is worth re-checking weekly rather than treating as settled.
eBay layoff history
PinkSlip has recorded 5 confirmed layoff events at eBay, running from January 2024 to October 2026. Together they account for roughly 2,249 disclosed roles, or about 20.4% of an estimated 11,000-person workforce. Scoring uses that share rather than the raw number, because the same headcount means very different things at a 10,000-person company and a 200,000-person one. Sources: CA EDD WARN, layoffs.fyi. Recent events weigh more than older ones — each decays on a half-life instead of dropping out on a fixed date — so the most recent filing on October 21, 2026 carries the most weight in today's score.
How eBay compares to other tech employers
eBay (EBAY) is an E-Commerce company tracked as part of the US tech scene and currently scores 51 out of 100, where 0 is the safest reading and 100 the riskiest. That is riskier than 92% of the 89 tech employers PinkSlip tracks. Over the past week the score climbed 5 points, and over the past month it climbed 22 points.
What is driving the eBay score
eBay's score is driven mainly by the public record — confirmed layoff filings and the financial and news signals around them. No crowd reports have come in over the past 90 days, so nothing is currently corroborating or contradicting that record from the inside. Absence of reports is deliberately not treated as evidence of safety — a quiet company and an unobserved one look identical in public data, so the model never discounts risk for silence alone. At this level the signals do not suggest imminent action, though the score is recomputed every morning and a single filing or earnings miss can move it quickly.

eBay layoff risk — frequently asked questions
Has eBay had layoffs recently?
PinkSlip has tracked 5 layoff events at eBay in the past year, the latest on October 21, 2026, totalling roughly 2,249 disclosed roles. Undisclosed headcounts are excluded from that total, so treat it as a floor rather than a full count.
How is the eBay layoff risk score calculated?
PinkSlip blends 10+ public data sources — historical layoff events, quarterly earnings, hiring and news signals, and anonymous crowd reports — into a single 0–100 layoff risk score. Signals are weighted by how predictive they have been historically, and each one decays on a half-life as it ages rather than expiring on a fixed date — so a layoff announced last month weighs roughly twice as much as the same layoff two months earlier, and fades out gradually instead of disappearing overnight.
How often does the eBay risk score update?
Every day. An automated job re-scrapes the public sources each morning and recomputes every tracked company's score, so the 7-day movement shown above always compares against freshly ingested data. Quarterly earnings refresh on each company's own reporting schedule.
Where does PinkSlip's eBay layoff data come from?
The layoff events listed above are sourced from CA EDD WARN, layoffs.fyi. Across all companies PinkSlip aggregates state WARN notices, layoffs.fyi, quarterly earnings filings, and layoff coverage from major business and tech outlets. Everything is public data — no employer submissions, and no paywalled sources.
