Selecting, Changing or Removing an Automatic Payment Method

Setting up an automatic payment method is a convenient way to pay your seller fees. You may change your automatic payment method at any time.

Credits on your account

If you have any credits on your account, they will be applied to your payment for each invoice. If you don’t want to apply your credits to your payment, you can change your seller billing preferences in My eBay.  With this change, any credits applied to your account after we create an invoice will apply to next month's invoice amount. This setting does not affect payments, which will always apply to your payment deduction amount.For information on payment requirements, late fees, and payment schedules, see Your payment due date.

To learn about one-time payments, see Making a one-time payment.

Paying by credit card

You can have eBay automatically charge your selling fees to a credit card. eBay accepts the following cards if you are billed in Singapore dollars, Ringgit or Pesos (depending on which site you are registered on):

  • Visa

  • MasterCard

Note: Your credit card will normally be charged 5 to 7 days after you receive your invoice. Learn more about eBay account invoices and payment schedules.

You can update the credit card on file for automatic payments at any time by going to the Place or update your credit card on file page. To ensure that the new information is used for an invoice payment, please update the credit card before the end of your billing cycle (either the end of the month or the 15th of the month).

To remove a credit card from your account, see Removing a payment method from your account on this page.
