新的一年，随着科技行业的裁员继续，EBay将裁员1000人。

Founded in 1995, eBay is an early internet pioneer that has survived decades of changes and fierce competition in the world of e-commerce. Today, it is a $21 billion company with nearly 12,000 employees, but its core business has been chipped away at over the years by Amazon and other online marketplaces.

eBay成立于1995年，是早期的互联网先驱，在电子商务领域经历了几十年的变化和激烈竞争后幸存下来。如今，这家市值210亿美元的公司拥有近1.2万名员工，但其核心业务多年来一直被亚马逊(Amazon)和其他在线市场蚕食。

While it has been largely insulated from the downturn in advertising⁵ spending, since it makes most of its money off sales commissions, a sales slowdown at the online platform has hit eBay's bottom line.

由于eBay的大部分收入来自销售佣金，它基本上没有受到广告支出下滑的影响，但在线平台的销售放缓已经打击了eBay的底线。

Just four weeks into 2024, dozens of tech companies have laid off nearly 11,000 workers, according to layoffs⁶.
