In announcing the impact on finances, eBay characterized the layoffs as "PayPal Product Simplification." In a statement, eBay wrote, "The reduction results from a redesign of PayPal's product organization, consolidating nine product groups into a single, more agile organization. The intent is to simplify and speed up how products are developed. PayPal expects to continue its strong global growth momentum and leadership through online merchant expansion and share of checkout, by driving payments innovation at point-of-sale retail for large, medium and small businesses, and by engaging consumers online and offline with payments products and experiences that offer choice, flexibility, simplicity and security. PayPal currently has more than 117 million active accounts." PayPal President David Marcus announced the layoffs on the PayPal blog on Monday. |
