Klarna and eBay are expanding their partnership to the U.S., the companies announced on Tuesday.
The expansion comes after eBay and Klarna launched its partnership in the U.K., Austria, France, Spain and the Netherlands late last year.
“eBay is one of the world’s largest and most dynamic marketplaces, offering everything from the everyday to the extraordinary,” said David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna. “We look forward to expanding our partnership to give millions of U.S. shoppers greater flexibility to purchase what they love — from rare collectibles, to that vintage coat they’ve been eyeing — whenever, however, and in smarter, more personalized ways.”
The extended partnership allows U.S. eBay shoppers to split payments on electronics, fashion, and collectibles, pre-owned luxury watches and other items using Klarna.
Klarna offers various payment options including four, interest-free payments. Klarna also offers financing for bigger purchases.
“With more than 2.3 billion listings, eBay is where people come to shop with purpose—whether they’re looking for value, rare finds, or sustainable options such as a refurbished camera, hard-to-find car part, or a vintage handbag,” said Avritti Khandurie Mittal, eBay’s VP & General Manager of Global Payments and Financial Services. “We are thrilled to expand our global strategic partnership with Klarna to the U.S. We’ve been very pleased with the positive customer and business impact Klarna has delivered in some of our key markets including the U.K. and Europe, and we’re now excited to give millions of U.S. shoppers more flexible and affordable ways to pay on eBay.”
Besides expanding the payment partnership, Klarna recently rolled out its resell feature to U.S. eBay shoppers. The feature lets users list past purchases on eBay and provides pre-filled descriptions and images.
