eBay reviews

Extremely bureaucratic - unusually slow for a ‘tech’ business No true leadership exists, particularly in ads leadership Limited career advancement opportunities - do not waste good years of your career here Compensation is not competitive Internal tools are a disaster No innovation (clinging to ‘magical experiences’ i.e. generative ai item descriptions) No culture Completely under-resourced No talent management or retention strategy in place This is not a company focused on growth. It’s focused on ensuring profitability is stable and a hope to maintain or maybe 1 or 2% YoY revenue growth.

Regrettably, eBay has made a mess of their acquisition of TCGplayer in many ways. For a large company with a long history of purchasing other companies, the transition from to eBay's systems, pay structure, and benefits were very poor, despite having a dedicated transition team meant to facilitate these processes. Additionally, eBay was eager to continue TCGplayer's stance of poor cooperation with their democratically elected union, from running a highly aggressive anti-union campaign during the union election process, to delaying the bargaining processes with baseless legal appeals. Beyond this, our pay has been stagnant for the last 3 years, does not account for the cost of living or rising inflation. Additionally, we have seen a reduction in available paid time off since the eBay acquisition.
