Advice and tips on buying and selling between private individuals
  • Good practice

Pay in instalments between private individuals: finance your purchases on Leboncoin, ParuVendu or Facebook in 3, 4 or 10 instalments!

  • 17 July 20

A first. With Obvy, you can now pay for your second-hand purchases between private individuals in several instalments. The seller will receive the full amount of the sale.

Second-hand doesn't necessarily mean cheap. At a time when easy payments are commonplace, OBVY is launching a major innovation in the market for purchases and sales between private individuals, enabling them to finance their purchases in instalments. While it was already possible to take advantage of this type of service on certain e-commerce websites and in physical shops, it was not possible to offer this type of service universally.

It's now a done deal. Through Obvy, users will be able to pay in instalments for purchases made between private individuals on classified ad sites such as Leboncoin, ParuVendu, La Centrale, Facebook groups, etc.

Whether you're buying a second-hand car, smartphone or computer, clothing, sports equipment or any other type of good, this new opportunity to finance purchases simply, quickly and securely has made access to them much easier.

The way it works remains exactly the same: the funds for the transaction are paid to the seller once the property has been accepted by the buyer and everything is in order. The system therefore remains extremely secure for transactions between private individuals in complete confidence, protecting you from scams, but with a major innovation designed to provide the same level of service and security for transactions between private individuals as that offered by e-commerce sites.

A student buying his first car, a family moving in and needing equipment, a cycling enthusiast wanting the bike of his dreams, a techie looking for the best equipment at the best price... Many people are turning to the second-hand market and will now have easier access to what they need, or simply want.

What's more, this functionality is also available for service transactions between private individuals.
