What bank cards does eBay support? Can eBay use UnionPay cards?

The products on the eBay cross-border e-commerce platform range from new to second-hand, from practical to collectible. For shopping users, it is necessary to understand clearly what bank cards eBay supports?

1. What bank cards does eBay support?

There are two main payment methods on eBay: credit card and PayPal. Credit card is a direct payment method. You only need to enter your credit card information at checkout to complete the payment. However, not all credit cards can be used on eBay. You need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Your credit card must be dual-currency or full-currency, that is, in addition to RMB, it can also support payments in other foreign currencies, such as US dollars, euros, etc. In this way, you can buy goods in different currencies on eBay.

2. Your credit card must have one of the international payment logos such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover. These logos are usually seen on the front or back of the credit card, indicating that your credit card can be used worldwide.

3. Your credit card must pass 3D security verification or AVS address verification. These verifications are to protect your credit card information from being stolen or abused, and require you to enter some additional information, such as SMS verification code, security code, billing address, etc. If your credit card does not pass these verifications, payment may fail or be rejected.

2. Can eBay accept UnionPay cards?

Can

1. Currently, eBay only supports UnionPay online payment, which means that you need to select UnionPay as the payment method on the eBay website, and then jump to the UnionPay page to enter the card number, password and verification code to complete the payment. You cannot directly enter the UnionPay card information on the eBay website, nor can you use UnionPay cards to bind other payment methods such as PayPal or Apple Pay.

2. eBay only supports UnionPay cards issued in China, which means you need to have a Chinese bank account and have activated the cross-border payment function of UnionPay cards. You cannot use UnionPay cards issued in Hong Kong, Taiwan or other regions to pay on eBay.

3. eBay sometimes offers some promotions for UnionPay card users, such as a $25 discount for purchases over $200. You can follow the official websites or social media of eBay and UnionPay International to learn about the latest promotions.

4. eBay uses US dollars as the settlement currency, so when you pay with a UnionPay card, it will be automatically converted into RMB according to the exchange rate at the time. There is also no 1%-2% currency conversion fee for cross-border payments using UnionPay cards.

If you want to shop on eBay, it is recommended that you first confirm whether your UnionPay card meets the requirements and understand the relevant discounts and fees. If you encounter any problems or difficulties, you can contact eBay or UnionPay customer service for help.
