Introduction
eBay was founded in the year 1995, by Pierre Omidyar. Through its website, eBay facilitates business-to-business and consumer-to=consumer sales between individuals. An e-commerce company with headquarters in SanJose, California, it is multinational. Here, let’s know ‘Does eBay take afterpay?’
As the administrator of its website ebay.com, eBay is an online auction, shopping, and selling website, where buyers and sellers find a wide range of goods and services from all over the world. The site of eBay is completely free for the buyers, but the sellers are required to pay a fee after a limited number of listings and then also when their items are sold.
Fortunately enough, eBay does take Afterpay for eligible products and select listings. If you’re lucky, you just might find your desired product offered with Afterpay as a payment method.
Afterpay
The company, based in Australia, offers a buy now pays later service that enables customers to pay later without entering into a loan agreement or paying upfront fees. Afterpay is an Australian company that enables commerce between retailers and customers using technology.
With Afterpay, a real-time fraud and repayment capability assessment engine and end-to-end digital platform is performed in real-time. At present, in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Afterpay is integrated with more than 43,000 retailers.
The after-pay payment plan lets customers pay in four installments, interest-free. This gives your customers more options and adds more access to your products- without adding any additional cost or inconvenience to you. In addition to providing Afterpay access to their sellers, they strive to support them in growing their business and competing.
There is an Afterpay payment option available for most items listed on eBay.com.au, between AU $1 and 1,500. The payment option will be displayed on the listing page and at the checkout for the buyers.

So you do not have to do anything, since Afterpay is automatically available on all eligible listings. You’ll get paid for the order in full and you won’t even know nor have any idea that the buyer has used Afterpay. To keep your customers happy, you simply need to continue providing them with great services.
The only difference is that if you’re using a voucher or eBay gift card, you can still use Afterpay. Make sure you enter any redemption codes you’re using and select Apply before completing your order.
Afterpay declined
As a responsible shopper, the longer you have been using Afterpay, the more likely you will be approved for your purchase. Every time you make a purchase, afterpay evaluates your repayment capability.
When Afterpay is unable to accept your payment, it may be for one of the following reasons:
- The card you used was declined
- Your account has reached the spending limit for Afterpay
- Afterpay still owes you money
- The information you provided to Afterpay could not be verified.
When you checkout, you still have the option to pay by another method, such as a credit card. Just choose another payment method when you choose your payment method.
Refund
If you return an item after making an eBay purchase, afterpay will reimburse your credit card for the cost and/or adjust your repayment schedule accordingly. This usually takes 2-3 days, but may take up to 10 days in some cases.
The Installments you’ve already paid will be refunded, and the payment plan will be canceled. In the case of a $100 order with $50 paid so far, Afterpay will refund you $50 and end your payment plan.
