I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
eBay sent me a job prospect for a new project, where they were looking for a full stack engineer, with a nice tech stack.
They told me I only had to do one exercise and one interview.
I did the exercise, which seemed easy for what they were asking, and then DURING the interview they told me they needed something completely different... we're talking from a React Sr. + Node Sr full stack dev, to maintaining a 15+ old html site, with JS pre-ES6, and front-end only.
They used a bait and switch strategy, wasted everybody's time, changed the interview time twice and forgot to send the updated invitation.
The interview itself was one of the lousiest interviews of my life, asking simple HTML markup questions to somebody who already did the technical exercise, and with 10+ years of web development.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Amsterdam) in Jun 2022
Interview
The procedure began with submission of resume, followed by an initial phone screening with a recruiter to discuss background and interest in the role. After passing this stage, you progressed through several rounds of interviews, conducted remotely over four weeks. The final stage involved four separate interviews in a single day, each focusing on different aspects: technical skills, behavioral traits, team fit, and managerial assessment. These interviews evaluated your expertise, interpersonal skills, and alignment with eBay’s culture and goals.
