Others are experiencing problems also.

Appears to be a site issue.

Well they are certainly not fixing it or admitting it as it's been 2 to 3 months I can't use afterpay

Hi I am having afterpay issues. I used afterpay for a lot of small purchases for grandkids Christmas presents and before that my purchases no problems at all. Now I purchase and it goes through and 10 minutes later a email it cancelled ect. I have contacted ebay 5 times and they say it is not them as I have no restrictions on my account and to contact afterpay which I did 4 times and they said was ebays fault as no restrictions on my account with afterpay and they did not cancel the sales. I have that in writing but no way to show it to ebay. I am within eBay policies on what to purchase and can't purchase. This is going on for 3 months now and I used afterpay to purchase gifts and paid a lot more for them. So does anyone know what is happening. I have updated apps for both and purchased other ways like told to and try afterpay again but no success. Please has anyone got any answers or advice or a email address so I can show ebay that afterpay has said that they never have cancelled any of my purchases. Thanks Sue

I was able to pay for an eBay purchase using AfterPay (AP). It took some trial and error (including some eBay payments that didn’t go through). Here’s what I remember doing.

In the AP iOS app, I set up the ‘in store’ virtual AP card, added it to my iOS wallet, and then configured my ApplePay to use it as a payment option.

At the eBay checkout, I paid using the ApplePay option which successfully went through.

But did you use AfterPay in December 2020, when the issue was current?

[ao0148]

No. Happy to retract my contribution if you can provide a link to the solution to successfully use AfterPay on eBay. 

[countessalmirena]

How can an eBay member, excellent though he may be, provide you with such a link?

The point is that this is an old thread. Why not start a new thread?

I would have thought providing a resolution to an open and unresolved thread would have been helpful. My mistake.

[countessalmirena]

Back in 2020, it was a technical issue on the site. Things have changed; an AfterPay issue or solution of today in 2023 is unlikely to pertain to the same set of circumstances, which is why the regular posters here point out that posting on old threads is problematic.

I was told to use a different payment method and then try again which I did but still won't work. I even was told in chat to delete my PayPal account and then try afterpay but still same problem

[lyndal1838]

Is it something to do with paypal?  You have to do the payment through paypal

[joztamps]

Paypal is not involved in Afterpay transactions.
Afterpay is a short-term lender which advances the purchase price to you.
It pays the seller direct on your behalf, then takes the scheduled repayments from your designated Credit Card account.

[davewil1964]

I'm fairly sure that's not how it works through eBay. Given the seller is not the one registered with (or paying) Afterpay

[joztamps]

It's exactly how it works.
Afterpay "lends" to the buyer, by paying the seller on behalf of the buyer.
The buyer then repays Afterpay in instalments from his or her nominated credit card.
Paypal is not involved with the buyer.
Though, I assume, Afterpay does pay it to the seller's Paypal account.
