How do I pay for my item?

PayPal, Paymate and Merchant Credit Card are the three safer payment methods available to buyers on eBay.com.au.

PayPal enables you to send payments quickly and securely online using a credit card, debit card or bank account.

After you win an auction listing or have clicked the Buy It Now button you can see the Pay Now button in the following locations:

  • On the item page.

  • In the Items I've Won section of My eBay.

  • In the confirmation email you receive from eBay.

  • On the invoice email you receive from eBay on behalf of the seller.

To pay for an item:

  1. Click the Pay Now button.

  2. Check your postage information, and confirm the order details, including postage, insurance, and taxes. Then, click the Continue button.

  3. Select your payment method and enter the payment information. Then, click the Continue button.

  4. Click the Confirm Your Payment button to complete your purchase.
    Note: These steps assume that the seller is using checkout on eBay. Sellers have the option to use other checkout systems.
