eBay's top e-commerce exec leaving

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay Marketplaces, is leaving. The business is eBay's largest and includes its namesake auction Web site and other e-commerce sites.

Norrington started at eBay in 2005, when eBay bought Shopping.com, a comparison-shopping company that had just named her CEO. She was named president of eBay International, then president of eBay Marketplaces operations, before heading marketplaces for two years.

Reportedly, EBay is in the midst of revitalizing eBay.com, so Norrington's exit will mean a tougher job for remaining executives for now.
