SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
EBAY MASTERCARD® ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

How Interest is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate is the 
applicable APR times 1/365. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted 
by applicable law.

For Account Type 1:
The APR for purchases is the prime rate plus 16.74%. As of January 1, 2019, the daily rate for purchases was 
.06094% (APR 22.24%).

For Account Type 2:
The APR for purchases is the prime rate plus 20.74%. As of January 1, 2019, the daily rate for purchases 
was .07190% (APR 26.24%)

For Account Type 3:
The APR for purchases is the prime rate plus 23.74%. As of January 1, 2019, the daily rate for purchases 
was .08011% (APR 29.24%).
Daily Rates May Vary. The APRs and the daily rates on your account vary with the market based on the 
prime rate. The prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street 
Journal in its Money Rates section on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of 
the billing cycle.
If the prime rate increases, the daily rates and APRs will increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum 
payment and the number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We 
apply any change in rates because of a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the 
prime rate will take effect on the first day of the first billing cycle after the change. We may select a new interest 
rate index if the prime rate is not available.

The daily rate for cash advances is .08217% (APR 29.99%).

When We Charge Interest 

Purchases. We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the 
purchase in full. See exceptions below.

How We Calculate Interest

How Fees Work

Cash Advance Fee

Foreign Transaction Fee

•  We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in 

that billing cycle.

•  We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate

to purchases if:
1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due 

date in the previous billing cycle.

Cash Advances. We charge interest on your cash advances, and their related fees, from the date you 
make the transaction until you pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on cash advances or their 
related fees.

We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the 
daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the 
following balance types, as applicable: purchases, cash advances and balances subject to different interest 
rates, plans or special promotions. See below for how this works.

1.  How to get the daily balance: We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, 

and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance.

We apply fees to balance types as follows:

(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases; 

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance;

(c) cash advance fees are added to the cash advance balance; and

(d) foreign transaction fees are added to the purchase balance.

2. How to get the daily interest amount: We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.

3.  How to get the starting balance for the next day: We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the 

daily balance from step 1.

4.  How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle: We add all the daily interest amounts that were 

charged during the billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added 
proportionately to each balance type. 

We will charge this fee for each cash advance you make. For ATM cash advances this fee is in addition to any 
fee the ATM owner may charge you for use of the ATM.

We will charge this fee for purchases or cash advances you make in currencies other than U.S. dollars and/or 
in a country other than the U.S., whether or not the transaction was in a foreign currency. 
If you make a transaction with your account in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Mastercard will convert the 
transaction amount into U.S. dollars using its currency conversion procedure. Under the currency conversion 
procedure that Mastercard currently uses, the non-U.S. dollar transaction amount is converted into a U.S. dollar 
amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non-U.S. dollar currency by a currency conversion rate. The 
currency conversion rate that Mastercard typically uses is either a government mandated rate, or a wholesale 
rate provided to Mastercard. The currency conversion rate that Mastercard uses for a particular transaction is the 
rate Mastercard uses for the applicable currency when the transaction is processed. This rate may differ from the 
rate in effect when the transaction occurred or when it was posted to your Account, and may be higher than the 
rate you could have gotten if you had converted U.S. dollars into the foreign currency.

Late Payment Fee

We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on 
the due date. This fee is equal to:

1. $27, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2.  $38, if you have failed to pay your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of 

the prior six billing cycles.

The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.

2

Minimum Payment Calculation

Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The greater of:

1. $27, or $38 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of 

the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2. The sum of:

a. Any past due amounts; PLUS
b. 1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique 

payment calculation); PLUS

c. Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
d. All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS
e. Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.

We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new balance.

In addition, we will treat any purchase of certain cash like items as cash advances. Cash like items include for example, money orders, cashier’s checks, 
traveler’s checks, electronic or wire transfers, foreign currency or other in bank transactions, tax payments, lottery tickets or other legalized gambling

time. We also may decline any particular charge on your account for any reason.

Credit Limit. You will be assigned a credit limit and cash advance limit on your account that we may increase or decrease from time to time. If we

do not treat it as an increase in either limit.

Payments received after 5 p.m. (ET) will be credited as of the next day. You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without

delay making credit available on your account in the amount of your payment even though we will credit your payment when we receive it.

Payment Options. You can pay by mail or online. We may allow you to make payments over the phone but we will charge you a fee to make expedited 
phone payments. Your payment must be made in U.S. dollars by physical or electronic check, money order or a similar instrument from a bank located in the

payment may be delayed up to five days. Your billing statement also explains how information on your check is used.

Payment Allocation. We will apply the required total minimum payment to balances on your account using any method we choose. Any payment you 
make in excess of the required total minimum payment will be applied to higher APR balances before lower APR balances. Applicable law may require

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION 
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT IT, THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND MOST 
DISPUTES  BETWEEN  YOU  AND  US  WILL  BE  SUBJECT  TO  INDIVIDUAL  ARBITRATION.  THIS  MEANS  THAT:  (1)  NEITHER  A  COURT 
NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR 
PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED.

• What claims are subject to arbitration

1.  If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your 

account, and us, our affiliates, agents and/or eBay, Inc., if it relates to your account, except as noted below.

2.  We will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an 
individual case in that court; or (2) a case we file to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to the collection lawsuit by claiming 
any wrongdoing, we may require you to arbitrate.

3.  Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage 
or scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). However, any 
dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.

4

 
 
 
 
• No Class Actions

YOU AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST US IN 
COURT OR ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS 
NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY 
BE JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 

If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, 
and the court’s determination shall be subject to appeal. This paragraph does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against 
us by a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers, including you. This means 
that we will not have the right to compel arbitration of any claim brought by such an agency.

• How to start an arbitration, and the arbitration process

1.  The  party  who  wants  to  arbitrate  must  notify  the  other  party  in  writing.  This  notice  can  be  given  after  the  beginning  of  a  lawsuit  or  in 
papers filed in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, 
KS 66201-5320, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND. The party seeking arbitration must select an arbitration administrator, which can be either 
the  American  Arbitration  Association  (AAA),  120  Broadway,  Floor  21,  New  York,  NY  10271,  www.adr.org,  1-800-778-7879,  or  JAMS,  620 
Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, 1-800-352-5267. If neither administrator is able or willing to handle the 
dispute, then the court will appoint an arbitrator. 

2.  If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion with the court to compel 

arbitration, which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding. 

3.  The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten 
years of legal experience. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the FAA, that would 
apply in court, but may use different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will control. 

4.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. If you ask us to, we will pay all the fees the administrator or 
arbitrator charges, as long as we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and costs, 
to the extent you prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced.

• Governing Law for Arbitration

 This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant 
under the FAA. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter 
judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.

• How to reject this section

 You may reject this Arbitration section of your Agreement. If you do that, only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or 
claim. To reject this section, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you open your account or we first provided you 
with your right to reject this section. The notice must include your name, address and account number, and must be mailed to 
Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section.
