As eBay continues to modernize its marketplace and create a more streamlined experience for buyers and sellers, the company is expanding its management of payments to Australia and Canada later this year. Australia and Canada are the fourth and fifth countries to offer eBay’s new payments experience, after the U.S., Germany and the U.K.
“By managing payments on our platform, we are enhancing the eBay experience by breaking down barriers and removing complexities for our customers,” said VP of Global Payments Alyssa Cutright. “We’re excited to roll out the new experience globally this year, with Australia and Canada joining our growing roster of countries.”
“As Australia’s number one online shopping destination, we are thrilled to be offering more choice to buyers in how they pay. And for our 40,000 Australian small-and medium-sized businesses, they will be able to sell and get paid all in one place,” said Managing Director of eBay Australia Tim MacKinnon. “Now more than ever, running a small business is tough and we are pleased to make it easier and lower costs for most sellers as we manage payments.”
