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.

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.
