The company informed staff of the cuts on Tuesday, according to a statement from the spokesman.

The step was taken "to ensure we continue to operate from a position of strength by aligning our teams and resources with our top strategic priorities," the spokesman said, adding that eBay is "committed to supporting them through this transition with care and respect."
