NEW YORK - EBay Inc., which still reaps big profits but has been struggling to attract new users, said Monday it will cut its work force by 10 percent — about 1,600 jobs — in an attempt to streamline its business.

About 1,000 full-time employees will be gone, while eBay will achieve the rest of the cuts by letting temporary and part-time workers go and leaving open positions unfilled. It is eBay's largest round of dismissals ever.
