Trade Me will offer a new service later this year where customer can buy products and then pay them off in instalments.

今年晚些时候，Trade Me将推出一项新服务，客户可以在网站上购买产品并进行分期付款。

Pay off：付清；还清

In instalments：分期付款

The online auction site has teamed up with Australian firm Afterpay for the service, which doesn't charge buyers an interest and will likely be available for goods valued between $20 and $800.

该在线拍卖网站与澳洲的Afterpay公司合作推出了此服务，买家购买的商品价格在20纽币至800纽币之间便可以使用该服务。

Sellers receive full payment upfront from Afterpay and buyers then pay it back in four fortnightly instalments.

卖家可以从Afterpay提前收到全额付款，之后，买家可以每两周付款一次，分四次付清。

Upfront：提前支付

Pay back：偿还

Fortnightly：每两周一次的；隔周的

Trade Me's head of marketplace Stuart McLean said the service offered an easy and flexible sales option.

"For example, if you buy something on Trade Me for $100 using Afterpay, instead of stumping up the full amount immediately you'll pay it via four $25 fortnightly payments," Sellers receive their money straight away from Afterpay and can ship the goods straight away - the buyer then makes their payments to Afterpay," McLean said.

“例如，如果你使用Afterpay在Trade Me上购买价值100纽币的商品，你可以不用马上付清全款，而是分四次隔周付清，每次支付25纽币。卖家直接从给Afterpay收到全款，并可以立即将商品运送出去，之后买家再付款给Afterpay，” McLean说。

Stump up：付清所需要的钱

Straight away：立刻；马上

Ship：运送

McLean said it was free for buyers and would go live later this year. Sellers would be charged a fee but a Trade Me spokesman was not immediately able to say what that amounted to nor if buyers would be charged penalties if they did not make their instalments.

McLean说，该服务将于今年晚些时候上线，并对买家免费。卖家将会需要支付一部分费用，但是，一名Trade Me发言人无法立即确认费用的多少，此外，他也不知道该服务是否会在买家没有按时分期付款的请款下，对买家收取一定的罚款。

Go live：上线；推出

Penalty：罚款；罚金
