Electronics Equipment

Certain electronics equipment, including equipment prohibited by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, is not permitted to be listed on eBay. Please see Some Examples for examples of electronic devices not permitted for sale on eBay.

In Malaysia, it is an offense to offer for sale any communications equipment that do not comply with the standards of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and that have not been certified. Most types of communications equipment are also subject to import controls. However, small quantities (one or two sets) of certain electronic equipment can be imported for an individual’s own use.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Loss of eBay fees

  • Limits placed on account privileges

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

  • Account suspension

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of certain electronic equipment has been prohibited or regulated in Malaysia, sellers may not list them on eBay.
