If Afterpay is available for your eBay purchase, you'll see it as a payment option at checkout. If you don't already have an Afterpay account, you'll be prompted to create one.

Here's how to pay with Afterpay on eBay:

  1. At checkout, select Afterpay from the list of payment methods.
  2. Review your order and delivery details, then select Pay with Afterpay.
  3. Sign in to your Afterpay account, or sign up.
  4. Review your payment plan and payment details with Afterpay.

Repayments and late fees

Afterpay automatically charges your payments to your nominated debit or credit card. You pay for the first instalment of 25% when you place your order, and the remaining 3 instalments will be deducted over the following 6 weeks.

You can keep track of Afterpay payments, check available spend limits and make early payments by logging into your Afterpay account through www.afterpay.com.au - opens in new window or tab or using the Afterpay app.

Refunds

If you're getting a refund for your eBay purchase (for example, because you returned an item), Afterpay will refund your card and/or adjust your payment plan accordingly. This normally takes 2-3 days, but can take up to 10 days.

Full refunds on eBay

Afterpay will refund you for the instalments which you'd already paid, and your payment plan will be cancelled. For example, if your order value was $100 and you'd paid $50 so far, Afterpay will refund you $50 and won't deduct any further payments.

Partial refunds on eBay

Depending on the refund amount and how many instalments you'd already paid, Afterpay may either refund you and cancel your payment plan, or adjust your payment plan to reflect the new total order value.

For example, if your order value was $100 and you get a partial refund of $30, your total to pay to Afterpay is now $70.

  • If you had so far paid $50, you won't get a refund from Afterpay. Instead, you'll just have $20 left to pay.
  • If you had so far paid $75, Afterpay will refund you $5 and won't deduct any further payments.
