Ebay is slashing 10 percent of its workforce including 1000 permanent workers. The cuts will come from the online auction house’s marketplace division. Even though online commerce has been explanding by double-digits over the last few years, Ebay’s marketplace is slowing in growth. Instead, the company plans to focus on online payments. Ebay already owns Paypal and announced Monday it would be acquiring a similar firm called Bill Me Later.
