eBay's $1.4B Depop deal: buyers up to 9M, but profit growth takes a 2-point hit

eBay closed its cash purchase of fashion resale app Depop on July 30, 2026, paying $1.4 billion, about 2.6% of its $54.7 billion market value. Management expects Depop to add to adjusted operating profit from 2028. Depop had about 7 million buyers when the deal was announced and close to 9 million by the end of June. eBay targets the US consumer-to-consumer fashion market, where online share of second-hand sales is in the low single digits, well below Europe. Depop should add roughly 1 percentage point to eBay's 2026 revenue growth, but hold back adjusted operating income growth by about 2 points. Management guides that growth at 10% to 12%, including Depop. Rivals are also investing heavily in consumer-to-consumer selling.

eBay cuts 1,000 jobs, 9% of staff, as Ryan Cohen's $56B bid looms

eBay is cutting about 9% of its global workforce, roughly 1,000 jobs, according to an internal memo from chief executive officer Jamie Iannone, Reuters reports. The figure is based on the 12,300 staff the company had at the end of last year. It is the second round of cuts this year. In February, eBay cut 6% of its staff, or about 800 roles. The memo cites "thoughtful choices about where we focus and invest." eBay's shares rose 1.25% on the news and are up over 40% since January 1. Its latest results showed revenue of $3.13 billion, up 14.8% year-over-year, and gross merchandise volume of $22.4 billion, up 15%. In July, eBay bought fashion resale marketplace Depop for $1.2 billion. GameStop chief executive officer Ryan Cohen made a $56 billion bid for eBay earlier this year.

eBay to lay off 9pct of workforce in push to simplify operations, internal memo shows.

eBay to lay off 9pct of workforce in push to simplify operations, internal memo shows. October 21, 2026 @ 5:52am EBay will lay off about nine per cent of its workforce as the online marketplace looks to simplify operations and shift resources to its fastest-growing areas, CEO Jamie Iannone told staff in a memo that was reviewed by Reuters. A spokesperson for eBay confirmed the layoffs to Reuters on Wednesday. The move will eliminate around 1,100 jobs, based on the 12,300 employees eBay had at the end of last year. The company also let go about six per cent of its workforce, or 800 employees, in February as part of efforts to streamline operations. EBay has set itself apart from rivals by pushing into authenticated luxury goods, collectibles and refurbished products, which draw enthusiasts willing to pay more for valuable items. That has helped its shares rise nearly 40 per cent this year, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500's around 12 per cent gain. "Our strategy is working," Iannone said in the memo, adding that "continuing to capture the significant opportunity ahead requires us to make thoughtful choices about where we focus and invest." He said affected staff would be informed in the coming days. Shares of eBay were down 1.8 per cent in premarket trading. The company has this year also benefited from its US$1.4 billion deal for fashion resale platform Depop, which expanded its reach among younger consumers and strengthened its position in the growing re-commerce market. That helped eBay forecast third-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates when it last posted results, in August. The company is slated to report latest earnings next week. Those efforts have also caught the eye of GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen, who made an unsolicited US$56 billion bid for the much larger eBay in May. EBay had rejected the offer, saying that it was "neither credible nor attractive."

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) analyst Nathan Feather recently raised his price target to $132 from $127, kept an Overweight rating and named eBay his Top Pick, according to The Fly, as cited by TradingView.

Earlier this week, Wells Fargo analyst Ken Gawrelski cut his price target to $91 from $92 and kept an Underweight rating. Secondhand shopping shifts from occasional to routine.

Among 18- to 29-year-olds, 46% shop secondhand weekly or biweekly, compared with 28% across all age groups, according to eBay. Cost pressures also play a role. Seventy percent of respondents said buying secondhand is important to managing household expenses, rising to 76% among Gen Z.

eBay shifts focus from tariffs to eBay Live and Depop as Q2 revenue jumps 14.8%

eBay's management has shifted its message from trade policy worries to growth products. On the fiscal Q2 2026 call on August 5, 2026, it highlighted eBay Live, where gross merchandise volume grew roughly eightfold, and said eBay had completed its acquisition of Depop the week before. In April 2025, management stressed tariff uncertainty for sellers and buyers. It still called trade policy increasingly complex on April 29, 2026. Revenue grew 14.8% in the April to June 2026 quarter, up from 6.1% a year earlier. Operating margin rose to 21.6% from 17.5%. The stock trades at 4.3 times trailing sales, against 3.1 for the S&P 500.
