Standard payment terms
ebay UK Limited, maintains payment terms of Net 45 days either after receipt of Supplier's valid invoice or after receipt of the Items, whichever is later. All invoices submitted to eBay for fixed assets in excess of $1,000, and for all other purchases in excess of $5,000, must make reference to the eBay Purchase Order number. Failure to reference the required Purchase Order information may delay the processing of payment to the Supplier.
