San Jose, Calif. – eBay laid off hundreds of employees in California on Wednesday, cutting 271 jobs across two Bay Area offices in a move detailed in state-required WARN notices.
According to the filings, eBay Inc. eliminated 243 positions at its 2025 Hamilton Ave. location in San Jose on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026. A separate notice shows 28 employees were laid off the same day at a Mission Street office, 19th Floor, in San Francisco.
The combined total marks a significant workforce reduction in the region, where eBay has long maintained a major presence. The notices were submitted under California’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, Act, which requires employers to notify workers and government agencies ahead of certain large-scale layoffs.
The available filings do not specify which departments were affected or whether the cuts are tied to a broader restructuring strategy. eBay has not publicly detailed the scope of the reductions beyond what is reflected in the notices.
