But I'd imagine that there will be quite the few ppl on RS affected as I think there are a few that works / worked at Ebay

I heard about this too. I wonder what the reasoning behind this decision was? Does anybody have a news article on this?

by the time i left about two years ago, they were already in the process of outsourcing everything. last year they closed down one of the major departments at vancouver center and outsourced all that work.

Kinda sad, I worked there about 4 years ago and helped train the people overseas. Imagine how that bites you in the ass now.

Worked there for 4 years as well and left back in Jan of this year. Best decision I ever made. Too bad none of the friends that came for testing at my current job took me seriously and decided not to put in a full effort and chose to stay at eBay where they liked it because you didn't have to do work. Ah wells
