These ads let your customers know that they can take advantage of 6 months financing on qualifying purchases of $99 or more when they check out with PayPal and choose Bill Me Later. There s no added cost to you for this service, beyond what you already pay for PayPal payment processing. To take advantage of the 6-month financing offer, your customers simply check out with PayPal and select Bill Me Later as their funding method (subject to credit approval*). Bill Me Later can be used for most purchases on ebay except in the following categories: adult, digital goods, weapons, alcohol, and vehicles (Bill Me Later is available for parts and accessories). Please don t add financing banners to pages in the excluded categories. How to Put Financing Banner Ads on your ebay Store To get started, you will need an ebay storefront and basic knowledge of how to set up your pages. This process will take approximately 10 15 minutes to complete. You have three options for placing the ads: 1. You can create a Promotion Box a graphic display you can use to highlight the financing offer. This is the simplest method. 2. Create a Custom Page Layout using one of the free templates provided by ebay. 3. Create a Custom HTML Header that appears at the top of all of your store pages. Whichever option you choose, remember that location is everything when it comes to advertising financing on your store. When your customers know they have financing options early in the shopping experience, they re more likely to spend more. We recommend placing banner ads above the fold on your storefront pages. * Bill Me Later is subject to credit approval as determined by the Lender, WebBank, Salt Lake City, Utah, and is available to US customers who are of legal age in their state of residence.
