How Does Afterpay on eBay Work?

There's no change to how or when you are paid, and access to Afterpay comes at no extra cost to you. When Afterpay is available for an order:

1
Customers can select Afterpay as their payment option at checkout. If they don't already have an Afterpay account, they'll be able to create one.
2
They'll review their instalment plan and payment details with Afterpay, then complete checkout.
3
Once the order is placed, you'll receive payment for the order in full as usual. You can then send the order to the buyer as normal.

What do I Need to do?

We'll automatically show Afterpay on all eligible listings, so you don't need to do anything. You'll receive payment for the order in full – in fact, you won't actually see that a buyer has used Afterpay. So you just need to carry on providing great service to your customers.

FAQs

Afterpay normally charges retailers a fee, similar to many other merchant payment services. Neither eBay nor Afterpay will charge you anything extra if a buyer uses Afterpay, nor will these fees be passed on to buyers. When a buyer uses Afterpay, the payment to you is processed in the same way it usually would be.

If you're giving the buyer a refund (for example, because they returned an order), you don't need to do anything differently – simply initiate the refund on the eBay site. Afterpay will then refund the buyer's card and/or adjust their repayment plan accordingly.

It isn't possible for a seller to opt out of offering Afterpay. We're committed to bringing engaged buyers to eBay, and offering a wide range of payment options is part of that.
