eBay has announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce – around 1,000 staff plus several hundred temporary positions.

Meanwhile, the company has also made two acquisitions: Denmark’s classifieds site, DBA.dk, for $380 million, and Bill Me Later for $820 million in cash and around $125 million in outstanding options.
