At the same time that eBay announced the Vancouver closing, they said that a similar facility that operates out of Salt Lake City, Utah will be expanded. At this point, around 1,000 customer support employees work for eBay in Salt Lake City.

Despite the customer support firing, the company says that the customer service aspect of their businesses won’t be negatively affected. Not only does eBay own the auction website eBay.com, the company also owns other popular services such as Skype and PayPal.

In recent months, eBay has been making moves to alter their business model. They’ve decided to limit their focus as a company to try to increase profits. There have also been a number of laid off eBay workers in the last year.
